every one had his part of the fun.
Old Santa Clans came as he always
does, with many things for the children.

when a church is going to cxll a pastor,

that board, is forced by a depleted

was any intentional effort to do this,

of this dendency. Bnt I
tremble to think that there may be
evidenoes of that spirit in any degree.
I do not mean to thrw reproach upon
auy one of our pastors who so grandly
leads in finances. I am willing, and,
indeed, glory in the fact that we are
coming to possess a losge nomber of
men who are well to do, and are contributing
largely to education, and
' and church supyort, and missions,
every other worthy object. But I do
not believe they should be held up as
models. A man Who is rich, and who

handsomely; and it he has the modesty
that an humble follower of Jesus
1 shoould ha\ e, the less said about his

^ large givers is often founded upon a

in dollars and at once paswJudgment.

>n A good many years ago there was a
)W poor widow who went up to a contribu00
tionbox in a temple poarch, and cost in
a few cents. Rich menprepeded Her
and gave costly gifts Hers was
*ra meague as to intrinsic value but the
* Teacher standing by with his disciples
w.e said to them. "She hath oast in more
18 than they all" How about that? It
Cfi' was simple a matter of proportion.
*nB Thpiv out of their abundunce; she ant
!n8 | of her deep povety, contributed. Ho,
theu let ua delight in the large gifts,
lost ^ut *et u9 a^,c> euooura^ the seemThe
emall oaes. And if we are to
.&l make money the test of excellenc, let
. it be upon the basis of ability and
P amount?not upon the latter alone'
