Consecrating Wealth to Missions

WHAT we need is not more wealth, but a more thorough consecration of the wealth we have. We need more of the spirit of Him who, though rich, for our sakes became poor, that we through his poverty might become rich. Christlieb has shown that the richest churches are not the most liberal. When the Moravians numbered only 600, they had two missionaries in Greenland. When they numbered 10,000, they had 230 missionaries in the field. There is a little community of 418 souls in the Black Forest that has 21 of its sons and daughters in the service. People can do anything when they are thoroughly enlisted.—Christian Standard.
