A week in Oct. day 15 to 22 has been set apart by the proper au¬ thorities, as the time to be observ¬ ed, by the Home Mission Society, for special prayer and thanks giv¬ ing. It will be a good time for us from now on to think of the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. May each one look back over the past year, and recount the many blessings that have come to us from God, and may each show her gratitude by putting in the Lord’s treasury a sum that will honor His love. It has been said, "Some can go, Most can give, All can pray. If all faithfully prayed for Mis¬ sion work and workers more would give and more would go.’’ 2 COR. CHAPS. 8, 9. In these two chapters we are taught the grand motives and prin¬ ciples of Christian giving, and even paradoxed on giving. These ex¬ amples were given by the Macedo¬ nians, they are as follows: 1st. They gave out of the abun¬ dance of their poverty, not out of plentitude of their wealth. 2nd. Their willingness e x ceeded their ability instead of their ability their willingness. 3rd They were urgent to be al¬ lowed to give rather than reluctant while those who received the gilt were reluctant to take it, knowing how deep their poverty. 4th. They make the greater gift first (of themselves) and the latter gift was less (their money.) Usually peoplo give the least they can to begin with, and have to be educated up to giving themselves at the very last. 5th. Iu these chapters value of gitts is reckoned, not by the amount given, but by the deg»ee of willingness and cheerfulness exhibited. 6th. We are taught that in crease comes 11 ot by keeping but by giving; that the way to get more is to give more, and the way to lose, is to keep. of 7th. And the crowning lesson all is that they regarded giving, not a privation to be evaded and avoid¬ ed, but as a privilege and a bless¬ ing to be coveted and cultivated. Can we do better than to follow glorious examples? 3 STEW "STOP? ns: § Bargain I $ HOLLIS BUILDING, COVINGTON, GA. 4 I THE PLACE TO BUY GOODS CHEAP.
