QUESTION: In the Question Box
last week you spoke of the ten per
cent tithe. Not many Christians
follow this plan, do 'hey? Do you
leel that it is the solemn command
of God?
More Christians follow the tithe
than we perhaps think. Often I
discover someone following the
tithe who I had no idea was fol
lowing it. I must say frankly how
ever that I do not interpret the
scripture to command the modern
Christian to bring in the ten per
cent tithe. I do not preach the tithe
as a command of God to my peo
ple, which if it is not followed will
be a breaking of God's holy law. I
do most earnestly commend the ten
per cent tithe as the most practic
able Christian principle of giving.
Our people should all be tithers. It
is budgetting for God. It is to put
our giving to the Kingdom of God
on a business basis the same as we
put our homes on a business basis.
The difficulties of Roxboro churches
in a financial way would disappear
in six weeks if the membership took
up the tithe as their consistent prac
tice. And the spiritual life of the
people would immediately be quick
ened. I know people whose spiritual
life amounts to nothing because
they give God and His work prac
tically nothing. There are people of
means who give to the church in
such a stingy way who wonder why
their spiritual life is not rich and
abundant. Ordinarily I know very
little about the financial sheet of
the church. Only the outstanding
cases are brought to my attention.
But I am remembering now the
case of one giver of means. If the
ether people of the church gave
in such a poor proportion to their
incomes as does this woman, the !
church would have to close its doors
before summer comes. It would be
a good idea for us all to ask our
^ selves the question: In view of the
needs of the church am I doing a
Christian's part? A frank answer to
that question would lead many peo
ple to the ten per cent tithe. It
is the best plan for giving to God.
QUESTION: I cannot see your po
sition on the matter of what you
call gambling. Is it not rather ex
treme for you to say that the giv- [
ing of prizes for lucky tickets, etc.,
is gambling? Do you not realize
'that this is constant practice among
-our good people?
ANSWER : I am inclined to think
that enough has been said on this
subject in the Question Box. This
additional paragraph on the sub
???? ?????????????? ?????
ject may not be amiss however. Hie
writer of this question must be sure
that he is willing to see my point,
very common practice among us Is
My point is that something that is
wrong, and because it is such com
mon practice it is difficult for those
who practice It to see the wrong of
it. Such a practice in relation to
tickets is basically wrong because it
is placing on a basis of chance an
award that should come for work
or merit alone, and the best of these
is work. I could quote scripture to
cover a whole newspaper page on
this subject. The thing we need to
get into our children to make them,
honest and upright is the idea that
they should work for what they get
and not spin a wheel for it, or punch
a board for it, or buy a lucky ticket
for it. Let my correspondent ex
plain the difference between these
things and the gambling table. He
will not And any difference. They
are one and the same.

RESOLUTIONS
OF RESPECT
We, the members of the five
churches of the Mt. Tirzah Circuit,
of Person Co-jity, North Carolina
wish to express our deep feeling of
less in t\ie passing of our beloved
pascor, Rev. B. E. Stanfield, who
died March 29, 1935.
We cannot pay fitting tribute in
words to his life of patient, cour
ageous service; but his works speak
for him wherever he has been. The
finest thing we can do is to con
tinue where he left off his work of
doing good; for it can unquestion
ably be said of him that "he went
about doing good." He was a prac
tical Christian and this is the kind
of memorial he wolud like. Therefore,
be it resolved:
First, that we acknowledge the
loss of a faithful, sincere pastor
and friend, and we grieve with tiis
family and loved ones who miss
him sorely.
Second, that we rejoice in the
blessings that his fine Christian life
has brought to us.
Third, that a copy of these resol
utions be placed on our church rec
ords, a copy sent to the family, to
the local papers, and to the North
Carolina Christian Advocate.
