GIVING.

By H. C. MILLER

“Not as the world giveth, give I unto you.” Christmas and New Years are past, and many are the gifts that have been given. You, my brethren, have probably given many. Let me inquire, have you followed the example of Him who spake the above words, in giving, or have your gifts been wholly like the world—to friends, neighbors, and near kin. Have some aged ones been made to rejoice, and their bodies warmed by your gifts? Needy ones who could only recompense you with tears and expressions of gratitude? And for your giving can you expect to hear Him say, “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me?” Have some of the poor, the lame, the halt or blind been led to glorify God for your benefactions?
