Scriptural Plan of BeneTolence.
' (BY REV. SAM'l HARRIS.)
CHAPTER IV.
'Superior Efficiency of Systematic Benevo
lence in Providing Funds for Benevo
lent Enterprises.
System always promotes efficiency.
What would become of a man's worldly
business, if he managed it without system,
never executing a plan or making an in
vestment till solicited, and abandoning la
bor to the control of impulse or conveni
ence ? And can he hope for any better
results from a like disregard of system as
a steward of God? From such lack of
order, what but embarrassment and fail
ure can result to the enterprises of benev
olence? And what shall we say of those
professors of Christ's religion who show
so thorough an understanding of the ne
cessity of system in worldly business, so
utter a neglect of it in their contributions
to benevolence: who are full of fore
thought and anxious calculation to real
ize the utmost of worldly acquisition ; de
liberate and farsighted in planning, cau
tious in executing, lynx-eyed to discern an
opportunity of gain, exact to the last frac
tion in their accounts, but heedless and
planless in all they do for charity ? Ve

in their generation than the children of

The following facts confirm tile argu

Baird received, in two payments, thirty,
eight dollars tor some- benevolent cause,
from "one of the poor disciples of Jesus ;w.
in acknowledging which he' says, "The

John Dunn Attorney at Law,
late of Salisbury Town in No. Carolina per
sonally appeared before me the subscriber one
of the Justices assigned to keep the peace for
the district of Charles Town, and being first
sworn upon the holy Evangelists ; of Almighty
God depoueth thai the accusation "wherewith
he stands charged by William Kennon, and
Adlia Osbourn, Satn'l Spencer, atid others of,

matters and things to the prejudice of the peo

no lack of that wisdom, till they come to
use-property for the benefit of others than
themselves.
Systematic benevolence will ;usually
dispose the giver to increase his contribu
tions. If a man gives without system, he
will commonly give too little. Under the
hallowed influences of the closet,? let him
estimate the claims of the world lying in
wickedness, and the means of benevolence
with which God has blessed him ; let him
ponder what amount of charity would be
acceptable to God and is demanded by
the love of Christ ; and it will be strange
if he is not convinced that he ought to in
crease his donations.
It is more convenient to set apart money
for charity in frequent instalments. He
who neglects to provide lor his charities
until the call for them is made, may find
it inconvenient or impossible to raise at
the time the one dollar, or the hundred
dollars, or whatever sum it is his duty to
give. But had he set apart a proportion
from his earnings as they were received
he would not be incommoded by giving
the sum required. Persons even in the
most moderate circumstances, adopting
the practice of systematic benevolence,
are often surprised at the amotint they
expecting to spend otherwise ; it is so
much taken from what he had reckoned
his own ; it seems so much dead loss.
Hence, every donation chafes him ; he is
tempted to mak it as small as possible ;
giving comes to be surrounded in his mit)d
dollars
Th ere is a farmer in one of the retired
mountain towns ol Massachusetts, who
began business on his farm in 1818, being
six hundred dollars in debt. He began
