de liberate and farsighted in planning cau tious in executing ly nx-eyed to discern an opportunity of gain exact to the last frac tion in their accounts but heedless and planless in all they do for charity ve rily " the children of this world are wiser in their generation than the children of light but the children of light show no lack of that wisdom til they come to use property for the benefit of others than themselves systematic benevolence will usually dispose the giver lo increase his contribu tions if a man gives without system he will commonly give too little under the hallowed influences of the closet let him estimate the claims of the world lying in wickedness and the means of benevolence with which god has blessed him ; let him ponder what amount of charity would be acceptable to god and is demanded by the love of christ ; and it will be strange if he is not convinced that he ought to in crease his donations it is more convenient to set apart money for charity in frequent instalments he who neglects to provide lor his charities until the call for them is made may find it inconvenient or impossible to raise at the time the one dollar or the hundred dollars or whatever sum it is his duty to give but had he set apart a proportion from his earnings as they were received he would not be incommoded by giving the sum required persons even in the most moderate circumstances adopting the practice of systematic benevolence are often surprised at the amount tbey can give without serious inconvenience system will enlarge the amount of mo ney expended in beneficence by being a bar rier against the temptations of selfishness many a man means to answer the calls of charity but does not weekly or monthly set apart a specific sum as sacred to the lord hence when he sees some tempt ing article of luxury having by him un appropriated the money which should have been the lord's he buys it ; when some tempting though perhaps hazard ous investment presents having the mo ney by him unappropriated he invests it thus through lack ol system many sums in the purses even of the benevolent are turned aside from the lord's treasury — self interest has the advantage in being beforehand and having constant access to our hearts systematic charity helps to put the interest of christ's cause on an equal footing sys'em prevents yielding to second thoughts and withholding a purposed char ity many a man under the influence ol a charity sermon or of the teachings of conscience or of the sight ol distress pur poses in his heart to give a certain a mount as the subject first strikes his un biased judgment such an amount seems not too large or the urgency of the case and his own means but selfishness steps in and argues the point ; it presents to the man his various wants and pretty soon convinces him that the purposed sum is quite too much ; then forgetting paul's injunction every man according as he purposeth in his heart so let him give he gives little or nothing but let a man have a fixed plan in accordance with which he consecrates a fixed proportion to the lord as regularly as he meets his notes when they fall due or pays the expenses of his family and the matter is settled here is a breastwork by god's grace im pregnable against all the pleading of self ishness system increases the contributions by making it more pleasant to give when a man has no system of charity every call to give is unprovided for ; if he comply he must give from._money which he was ! expecting to spend otherwise ; it is so much taken from what he had reckoned bis own ; it seems so much dead loss — i hence every donation chafes him he is tempted to mak it as small as possible ; giving comes to be surrounded in his mind with unpleasant associations he often ' looks back with regret when he gives ! any thing that he gave so nuch ; and . the call of charity becomes repulsive — i but when he systemizes his charities and ■ at stated times sets apart to benevolence i a sum proportioned to his income he no j longer reckons that consecrated motley j as his own or depends on it for the sup ; ply of any want when the call of char i ity is heard he is not obliged to take from i what he had rockoned his own but from ■ what was already consecrated to the lord | he can give both largely and cheerfully i and with no drawback irom the blessed ! ness of doing good system removes mam common causes of selfishness tor withholding more than is meet i have lately given to another j cause ;" ** i give as much as convenient ;" i '■ i have so many expenses 1 give as j much as others system increases the amount of chari ties by forming habits of benevolence — from earliest life habits of gaining and using money for sell have been strength ening and these consolidated habits have | never been overcome even in the } church tbe covetous use of property is too i generally the habit the benevolent use of i it only an occasional act and it is but i dimly apprehended that the gospel re quires it to be otherwise hence tbe gifts of the church are exceedingly stinted to remedy this evil it is necessary to make the beneficent use of property the habit of the christian's life and thus turn ! to the advantage of christ's cause that law of habit which has been all against it to do this there must be systematic be nevolence it were the extreme of folly to think of subduing these consolidated habits by desultory efforts — to send up now and then a platoon of light troops against these most massive and well-ap pointed fortifications of selfishness w e i must approach them by well-concerted ! persevering siege till ihey fall into our ; hands and the guns are turned against the foe mere occasional unsystematized do ! nations scarcely make a perceptible im ! pression in subduing selfish and forming i benevolent habits but when beneficence i is systemized the habit of doing good is | formed it moulds the whole life it be comes second nature and shows in all its ] results efficacious vigor these considerations show the duty of christian parents to train their children to i the habit of systematically making a be nevolent use of money one of the greatest difficulties in the way of obtaining an increase of unds is found in another influence of this same law of habit of those who contribute . regularly to particular causes and thus : have made an approach to system a large portion are in the habit of giving from year to year about the same sum the same twenty five cents the same dollar or five dollars stands from year to year against their names the wants of benevolent enterprises increase the property of lhe giver increases but the contribution is stereotyped the attempt to increase this amount breaks up their settled habits ol thought and action they have never thought that perhaps christ requires a re vision of their whole plan of benevolence the adoption of the divine plan of fre quent and proportionate appropriations would remove this difficulty it must be added hat systematic benev olence may be expected by god's blessing to increase the giver s means of usefulness but this thought will be reserved for a more extended examination in another chapter in these various ways the scriptural svstem increases the funds of benevolence were it universally adopted by the church es nothing but the experiment would show how immense would be the resulting in crease without expense of collecting agencies thousands in the churches who now give nothing would begin to give and a permanent and growing increase would be realized at once from those who have given occasionally then would the channels of benevolence be like the river of god which is full of water and the waters of life issuing from the sanctu ary with their healing power would flow i as the prophet saw in vision ever swell ing to the ends of the earth the following facts confirm life argu ment of this chapter in 1811 rev dr baird received in two payments thirty eight dollars for some benevolent cause from one ofthe poor disciples of jesus in acknowledging which he says the donor of it commenced giving in a strict ly systematic manner the tenth part of all tbe money which he earned from the time ot his conversion and through god's bless ing he has been enabled to give sums from lime to time to many if not all the great enterprises for building up the kingdom of our lord varying from five to twenty-five dollars there is a farmer in one of the retired mountain towns ol massachusetts who began business on his farm in 1818 being six hundred dollars in debt he began with the determination to pay the debt in six years in equal installments and to give all his net income if any remained above those instalments the income ofthe first year however was expended in purchas ing stock and other nece.s.ijes for his farm in the six next years tie paid oft the debt and having abandoned the in tention of ever being any richer he has ever since given his entiic income after supporting his family and thoroughly edu cating his six children during all this period he has lived with the strictest econ omy and every thing pertaining to his house table dress and eijuippage has been in the most simple style : and though he has twice been a member of the state senate he conscientiously retains this sim plicity in his mode of life tiie farm is rocky and remote from the village and his whole property real and personal would not exceed in value three thousand dollars et some times he has been enabled to give from s'joo to 8300 a year let it be further considered in this con nection that some feasible plan of enlarg i aw the funds of bt tu roll tu'e musl be adop ted in order to realize the hopes of the churches irom their missionary enterpris es this is apparent from the*diliiculty of sustaining these enterprises on their present scale this deficiency is not ow ing to a want ol means in the church — there is money in profusion for railroads manufactories any enterprise which pro mises a return to self but where is tbe money for the lord ? " the great current of christian property is as yet undiverted from its worldly channel the scanty rills of charity which at present water the srarden ofthe lord and the ingenuity and eiiort employed lo bring them there com pared with the almost undiminished tide ol selfish expenditure which slill holds on its original course remind one of the slen der rivulets which the inhabitants of tbe east raise from a river by mechanical lorce to water their thirsty gardens the mighty current meanwhile without exhi biting any sensible diminution of its wa ters sweeping on in its ample and an cient bed the aggregate of ifts from its mem bers to the church was probably larger in the times of its greatest corruption than now when it was believed that salva tion might be bought by charity wealth from the poor and the rich was lavished on churches and monasteries but as in the advance of the reformation charities with this motive have ceased the church es have failed adequately to bring in the gifts of gratitude and love in their stead it should make the ears of him that bear eth it to tingle that in this boasted age of progress thi nineteenth century less is probably bestowed iti charity by the pro testant churches to spread the true gospel through the world than was given in the darkest ages to heap up the treasures of the church oi rome — that the love of christ constrains to less valuable giltsthan the arts and deceptions of a corrupt priest hood but the church is aiming at the conver sion of thf irorl 1 it is plain as sunlight that lhe world cannot be supplied with the means of grace without an immense enlargement of these operations it was this contrast between the greatness ofthe enterprise which christarhs profess to prosecute and the littleness ol the means which ihey devote to it that wrung from the golly abel the exclamation respecting our missionary work '" j l the great god could despise his creatures it would be despicable in his sight there must be some wav devised of realizing such en largement if tbe wot id is to be converted nor is the expectation (', realizing in vain tbescriptural system of benevolence gen erally adopted woul 1 re zf it without embarrassment to tiie church let it also be considered that when god by his providenct proclaims " behold i have set before vou an open doo " he openeth an 1 no man shuttetb then if his church will enter no obstacles ur op position can prevent her triumph but it his people will not enter presently the door is shut and he shuttetb and no man openeth ages may pass before in the revolving cycles of his providence he will open it again and when thus shuf the costliest labors of his church are la bors where god is not one day god opens canaan to the israelites and urges them to so up assuring them that the anaks and the cities walled and great shall not retard them they will not go next day they are all eagerness to go but the door is shut ; lhe pillar of cloud moves not — thev go up only lo perish before their foes all historv demonstrates this prin ciple — demonstrates that as we must fol : low god's movements in the circleing sea sons would we nap in harvest ; so in the enterprises of benevolence we must not fall behind the workingsol bis providence
