CERISTIAN GIVING International Sunday School Lesson ror August zz, 1954. - , Memory Selection: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." Acts 20:35. j - , j, Lesson' Text: 1 Corinthians 16:1-2; II Corinthians 8:1-9. ' One of the greatest responsibilities which can come to a Christian is his responsibility -of wealth. Even the Jnan of moderate means has many op portunities, for unselfish helpfulness. Failure to realize and measure up to the obligation of one's dollars means spiritual faflure. v l.x-rm;&- There is no way to separate money from the ' progress of the Christian kingdom in this world, because of the kets. The church, the mission, the hos pital, tne orphanage, the college, and ' every other institution for s-oorl. mat ing to serve because of love, faces the necessity or buying In a material mar- net where .only gold is coin Ul course, the church pari , unu. times become too materialistic. Un due pride in the costliness of the church building, or the pastor's home, ; or some other monumental concession , to pride, is harmful error on the part , of those entrusted with a spiritual : task. On the other hand, the work cannot be accomplished without some material means. There must be a ; place of worship, a pastor's home, and such material accessories. These material essentials can only , be obtained when the spiritually-mind-i ed members furnish the money. These ,. must give of their wealth and pos , sessions for the sake of the cause and the work to be accomplished. The ' management of the' church must exer cise discretion and judgment in the ; matter of-money demands too much emphasis on financial needs outbal ances the spiritual mission of the church. ;. . ::: si Christian giving is, of course, a part of one's Christian atawnmlarrin M.l . acknowledges that God is the owner 01 everything, by right of creation, and that he just lets us hold and use what ' is really his, for a time and that, eventually, everything that we may have, or own, really goes back to the HMLVATllv WnfllM trt aAmiA ... Acknowledging: the above to be true, wnac return shall the Christian make tO GfiA ftiT thtk T1CUI tvt tliat nAaeAi.i..,A..a If we vent airpajsftastoremn1dv is w la f.ivm anotner,,we nat urally lexpect to, pay rent a certain stipulated. sum for the use of v the ; property rented. Yet, when some one be it preacher, Sunday School teach er, or worker mentions that : one should set aside a certain,' stipulated sum out of one's earnings as holy unto the Lord, many . people: raise their hands in holy horror and say that the one thing they don't like about the church and its workers is their ever lasting emphasis upon giving money. Regardless of possible over-empha- . sis here. and there upon the financial needs of a religious organization, the fact remains that most Christian work is handicapped by the lack of suf- ficient money. . Mission enterprises abroad, reconstructive rebuilding of human lives, at home, healing those sick in body and limb, and many other "good works" demanded by the law of love, are inadequately supported. When so-called Christian people are disturbed by the calls for giving to the Kingdom 01 uod, it is a pretty good sign that they are conscience-stricken at the paucity of their own respon ses; that they realize they are selfish- ly enjoying most of their possessions and income and do iutwant to part with any portion of their material wealth to help any cause or anybody. Paul, in, writing to the Corinthians, praised the Macedonian Christians for their liberality and generosity in1 giv insr to the unfortunate ; hpHevpra in Jerusalem, and called attention to a very important ract, when he said that these Christians "first gave their own selves to the Lord." When Christians dedicate "their own f1va n fhtt TstA " there will be no question about their generosity, their service or their liv Wg. : A consecrated Christian' realists that God is dependent on his servants even as each of His servants is Ait. r odent on Him.

He went to and from town, or crossed state lines as he wished. Never was he ' stopped and asked for "papers." Never . were bis belongings searched or con-' fiscated. Never, when he went to bed at night, was he haunted by the tear of . being torn ruthlessly from home and loved ones to be sent away forever. Yet these things are happening right now in his native country. "Abroad, there is terror in many hearts," said this refugee, "that you Americans cannot understand be ,l cause you have never experienced It ... . and uod toroia you ever ; shall. "This above all you must re member: The greatest weapon , you have against Communism is ; your Bible and your Religion." : .In other words, American Citi- : sen, "Go to the church of your choice this Sunday and every '. Sunday. Keep Christianity thriving. It's your mightiest.: weapon against the dark: de vices of Communism." ft FORTY FAVORITE CHAPTERS IN YOUR BIBLE The (oHowtag (arty fororit duptart from 6m BibU bur bm MO IM ky tht Amrieaa Bible Society.
