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 ;

" 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
