SOME PRINCIPLES OF CHRISTIAN BENEVOLENCE.
By The Advance
1. MONEY is a great power in the modern world for doing good through the school, the college, and the church. 2. It is better to use money in one's lifetime in benevolence, and have the enjoyment of the giving and of its results, than to devise it by bequest. 3. Avarice, a most easily-besetting sin, is most easily prevented and best removed by generosity. 4. People think they enjoy more keeping their money. It is the testimony of those who have been touched by the spirit of sacrifice, that the delight of giving is greater than the delight of keeping. 5. It is our duty to give at any time, not as God is prospering us at that time, but as he has prospered us at all times. 6. Some persons are converted in head, fewer in heart, fewer still in stomach, fewest in purse. 7. All our money is to belong to God. If it does not so belong to him now, it is to be made so to belong.—The Advance.
