An Interesting Experience.
A BROTHER from Wisconsin, who sends a liberal donation to this Office for benevolent purposes, thus states his own experience in the subject of giving: “I will state a little of our experience in lending to the Lord. Three years ago we were very poor; yet out of our poverty we denied ourselves, and gave a sum almost equal to the widow’s mite. The Lord blessed us, and paid us tenfold. We gave again the very last ten dollars we had while needing many things. The Lord repaid it twentyfold. We commenced keeping the Sabbath while so poor that we greatly feared it would be a great loss to us. The Lord added thirtyfold. We gave again, and the Lord added a hundredfold. And now came our trial. It is easy to give ten cents out of a dollar; easy also to give one dollar out of ten, or ten dollars out of a hundred. But O poor, weak human nature! I never can tell you how hard it is to give two hundred dollars out of two thousand. Dear friends, I tell you the Lord will repay those who give in his cause.”
