Gospel and Expenditures

By Christian at Work

The American Churches give for evangelizing 800,000,000 heathen about $3,000,000 a year. The American Churches give for home mission-work and benevolence, $75,000,000. For a single bridal-dress is given $6,000. For ladies' foreign dress goods are expended annually $125,000,000. New York alone is said to expend for kid gloves annually $30,000,000. For intoxicating drinks our American people expend annually $900,000,000. Let the vital power of the gospel rule in Christendom, giving soul-interests their due prominence, and how easy to so divert and direct the streams of expenditure and personal effort as speedily to evangelize every individual of the race.—Christian at Work.
