Held in Honor.

REV. John A. Broadus, D. D., well says: “Paul did not sit still at Ephesus, praying and doing nothing. He worked hard to get up a collection among all the churches within reach. He gave command for a regular, systematic contribution in Galatia and Corinth. He sent an agent to Corinth, once and again, and labored himself as a collector in Macedonia. His second epistle to the Corinthians contained so much of earnest pleading for the collection, that we may be very sure some of the grumblers at Corinth said it was ‘entirely too much about money.’ The apostle strained every nerve to make the contributions general and liberal; and the inspired word of God contains the most impassioned appeals for money ever written.”
