A Christian, Not a Heathen

To the oft-repeated question of professed Christians as to why they should give money to save the heathen, A. B. Upham, in a recent number of the Missionary Review, gives the following pertinent answer:—
Why should we give money to save heathen abroad when there are heathen in our own country to save? There are other “why’s” equally logical! Why should I give money to save those in other parts of this country when there are needy ones in my own State? Why should I give money for those in other parts of the State when there are needy ones in my own town? Why should I give for the poor in the town when my own church needs money? Why should I give to the church when my own family wants it? Why should I waste on my family what I want myself? Why?—Because I am a Christian and not a heathen.
