A CRIME YOU WILL NOT BE
ARRESTED FOR
Under the above caption, Dr. Elam
F- Dempsey, presiding elder of the Ox
ford district sends us the following
interesting article: "It is from the
Alabama Christian Advocate.” he says,
"and, while written for our Methodist
cousins of Alnbanm, has a pointed ap
plication for every Christian reader,
wherever found.”
"If yon steal, kill, defrad, or do one
of many things you will, he arrested.
But, there’s at least one crime you can
commit and never be arrested for it.
It’s tile crime of being stingy. The law
books do not put it down as a crime,
hut it is criminal nevertheless- It is
criminal because it thwarts the plans
and purposes of God in establishing
the Kingdom of truth and righteous
ness upon (lie earth
“lt is just about this time of year
when Methodists are most likely to
commit the crime of stinginess- Con
ference is coming, conference collec
tions are due, pastors’ salaries are due,
many special collections are due. Now,
among the Methodists of this territory
we have some princely givers. Indeed,
we have known a few who gave more
generously, we thought, than they were
able. Still others would give, but are
simply unable to do so. Their hearts
are in the right place.
"But there are some who are stingy.
They will not give- They quit coming
to church at this season of the year.
They dodge the pastor and the finance
committee- Listen, there are many
tilings God hates, and one of the c-hief
est of these is stinginess. A stingy man
may get to heaven —may, we say—hut
we believe lie will be uncomfortable
there. ,
“Now is the time for every Method
ist to realize that God needs a part
of his income. If God doesn’t get this
His Kingdom plans are thwarted- No

Good Citizenship
Who can estimate the worth to ai
community of one good citizen? In the
words of the wise man in speaking of
a virtuous woman "His price is far
above rubies.” In the first place, his
example is such as to inspire others
to noble living. He is an honest man;
a truthful man: a man of clean life.
A man whom others can follow with
out hurt to themselves. In almost ev
ery community there are men who
would take offense if their good citi
zenship were questioned and yet they
are careless in law observance, or
maybe worse, arc law violators, pro
fane, unclean in speech and violators
of the Sabbath day. If their example
man with a heart in him wishes to
feel that he has been ever partially re
sponsible for retarding the progress of
God’s Kingdom.
"It takes money, as it always has,
even liaek in Bible times, to run t lie
Kingdom of God. Pay thy vows unto
the Lord.”

was followed the Sabbath day would
lie annulled, the churches would be
closed and the walls of our social
structure would crumble.
Then, a good citizen should lie a
man of broad sympathies; a man who
lias the heart to help his fellows In
their hours of need; who makes It
easier for other men to he good, holds
out tlie brotherly hand to the stumbler,
stands erect amidst tlie currents of
wickedness so that those who are sore
ly tempted may find strength and hope
The propret Islali describes such a
man —‘‘A man shall lie as an hiding
place from the wind, and a covert from
the tempest; as rivers of water in a
dry place, as the shadow of a great
rock in a weary land ” We are accus
tomed to think the prophet is speaking
of the Savior who was to come, os so
do I think- But in a lesser measure
the character pictures is possible to
many of us.
How sorely are such citizens needed!
It may lie we have some, may lie many,
lint may we not grow more?
