The Bible lesson, "How They Gave for thd Temple" was an Old. Testament account of 'how God's people gave. The fact was stressed by the leader, "That we who live in the noonday'glory of 'this Christian dispensation should not fail to measure up to the same standard of joyousness, and willingness., Stew ardship was then presented, and the question of tilling was freely dis cussed. The reading from the Mis sionary Voice, "How to Determine the Tithe," was read by Mrs. F. S. Geddings. It ran thus, "Some people have a very strange and altogether dishonest way of determining the amount of their tithe. They dedct taxes, house rent, and living expenses and then tithe the balance; and it often happens that after all these rake-offs, there is very little left to tithe. Such a method is certainly not the scriptural idea ol' the tithe, and those who practice it do not bring "the whole tithe" into the store house. Let us see to it that we deal honestly with God in this matter. Our entire net income should be tithed. The leaf let entitled, "Bessie Brown's Blessing Box" was very interestingly told by Mrs. Joe -Mims, Jr. The bulletin was presented in a most beautiful manner, by Mrs. Madge Curtis. The para graphs were cut and pinned to lovely bouquets of violets, each member re ceiving one, and reading in turn.
