Christian Liberality

There are certain great principles laid down in Scripture in relation to giving, and the use of property generally, respecting which there is much practical scepticism. They are as follows:

1. That which we have, we hold as stewards that must give account.

2. The way to increase is to distribute. Some are rich because they are liberal.

3. That which is given to the poor is lent to the Lord.

4. That which is done to Christ's little ones is done to himself.

A hundred to one is the rate of interest God allows now; and life everlasting in the world to come. (Mark x. 29.)—Anon
