Burdens Rich in Blessing

By Editor

The burdens God places upon us are peculiar. When we lift them, they lift us. We spend money on our follies and foibles and fads, and then regret it; but when we give without grudging to the cause of God, we always feel better, and generally wish we could do more. No financial burden has the Lord ever placed upon us that has not brought its own blessing with it. When the $100,000 fund was raised, the faithful ones got a spiritual uplift that is with them still. Here is another opportunity for a greater blessing. If taken hold of heartily, it will do us a thousand times more good than would that amount of money parceled out among the givers of this. Let us march right up to this undertaking in solid phalanx and win a telling victory for the cause of God. We raised the other fund in a year and a half. If we raise this in one-eighteenth of that time, we shall be keeping pace with the increasing progress of this message.
