drop in church temperature. To some
peculiar, fastldlous minds the collec-
tion
ollettion plate le looked upon as an irre-
levant lutruabn ut secularity into the
sanctities of worship. Then there are
the tImldIUes and ebamefaccdness on
the part of some emtarraased givers;
the proud, ostentatious use that others
make of It; the careless, unthinking
treatment received from conscience-
less contributory; the little child hap-
py to have the privilege of !Awing
a gltt thereon -all these would have
a place to this collection plate's story.
But It Is not always • plate. Quite
often It M a box that receives the
offering, or a bag. Once In a remote
village In England I saw in a parish
church a box that served tbe purpose
to which was attached a lung handle,
s0 long that 1t did not have to leave
the usher's hand s. be put k under
the glance of every occupant of a pew.
Somewhere in this country I saw the
same sort of offering box, to my sur-
prise. There must have been some
contact between these two congrega-
tloue. In my old home Sunday school
the short -bundled, deep, wooden boxes
were given one Sunday's rest In the
year, and that was on Sunday school
anniversary day. when they were sub-
stituted for ordinary white dinner
plates -a broad hint that a special
g ift wast expected and It would be
seen; therefore take it generous. it
certainly had the desired effect. So
do we have to cater to tbe weaknesses'
of our hunlaan nature.
The aids used to beget a more gen-
erous use of the collection plate are
many. Perhaps the commonest is the
music accompaniment Some scieo-
tlst discovered that core give more
mtkk
if their ears are charmed with
musk while being milked. Now, be
It far from us to suggest that this
parallel wee tbought of when the
musical accompaniment custom was
adopted. It may well be that music
and singing are of financial value,
so far as the offering Is concerned.
The derkie preacher must have thought
so when be announced: "De collec-
tion diel mornln' will be for de. par=
pose ob =kin' up de deficit In de'
tor's salary. De choir will now sdn
an' will continue to sing until de full
amourtt tw edlected." Stimulation
to better collections bas been pray
tired by announcement of the precious
Sunday offering. Some church om-
elsle have gone en far se (0 teIude (10
farthings and the buttons that have
been paved -on the plate in their QS.
clal report. Few take the daring way
of [noounrement tbat Ur. Parker of
cheater and City Temple. I,endou,
fame used, when dissatisfied with the
previous Sunday uttering. At Man-
chester he flayed the rich passple of
his congregation when he told them
the Sunday after the ss. sal offering
fortbe sufferers In the civil war, then
raging in the United State--, that the
offering. so poor and niggardly. was
"a disgrace. to civilization." But in
a scathing way to his heercrs he went
further on a famous oce;rsloa. Ile
had announced a &election for widows
and orphane and added, "Widows and
orphans w are present will not be
expected contribute.". -Or _the fol-
lowing Su ay, when collection time
arrived, Patter delivered -himself thin:
"I nnnounted last Sunday that the
collection would be for widowsand
orphans. add I took oceaadon to add
that widows and orphans in the con-
gregation would net he expected to
contribute." A dramatic pause,,...:
"Never bl«sly tattle produced so many
widows and orphans as •did that an-
nounrement!" Happily, not always is
the collection plate ignored or abused.
The big nickel treatment has been
known to give way to nobler giving on
tbe part of (Lose who would hate to
be clamped as big nickel folk. So the
collection plate comes Into its own.
Need, motive, vlslon and the piety that

Another thing to remind ourselves
of In this matter of tbe collection
plate is that it is an lndispenaabie and
abiding thing. 8o long as we are in

& 8. LESSON TOR MAY 16th, 1134
Lessem Tepte--Rfesimal Pryer.
Ursa Passage-LttMe 14:1-14.
Golden Text -Lake 111:12.
This parable is designed to teach
us that, though our prayers should
long appear to be unanswered, yet we
should persevere, and not grow weary
la supplicating at the throne of grace.
Jesus In the use of "ought" and "al-
ways" teaches that to pray la a per-
sonal
er
sonal dutyetkgt must never be put to
or side.
Christ etagha.laes the value of Im-
portunity la prayer by citing the case
or a widow pkading before a judge
that be should avenge her of her ad-
versary. The character of this judge
was that he had no reverence for God.
and consequently no regard for the
rights of man.
Moses to the book of Deuteronomy
charged judges bow they were to per-
form the duties of their office: "Hear
the causes between your brethren, and
judge righteously between every
man and his brother, and the
stranger that L with him. Ye
shall not respect persons In judgment;
but ye shall bear the small as well as
the great; ye shall not be afraid of
the Once of man; for Hae judgment is
God's." How different was this
Judge bear whom the widow ap-
peased! The judge was bound to do
her jueHee, but he had no disposition
to do so. In Lodi Jeremiah and Isaiah
we read how judges were bound to
show peculiar attention to widows:
Jltdge the fatherless, plead for the
widow. Do no wrong, do no violence
OUT to the stranger, the fatherless, nor
the widow." 1laalab 1:17; Jeremiah
Al2 :3.) -- - -
a�'teg. It was not for mels leaaoruc that
vememt this judge attended to the case before
wet reported on Sunday.
The T.l'.C'. meeting onSundayarea_
Ing opened with prayer by Mr. Robin-
son Woods. The Scripture lesson was
read by lona Swan. The feature of
the evening was a lantern slide lecture,
"North of the Peace," read by Cuyler
Ramage and D. PhHllps. Mr. Ram -
age third the meeting with prayer.
I am Errs fond of the story tola,by
Dr. Wardle Stafford, 0nee pootor of
the Metrapafttan church to Toronto.
Ile was present at a meeting at which

Judge gave ■s his reason for at-
tending to the Buttes of his office. Was
that all that Jesus wanted them to
learn? Just that a poor widow by her
perseverance obtained from an unjust
judge what otherwise ahe would not
have obtained? The great truth is
set forth In the contrast seen 1n 0od's
just treatment of Hie elect who pray
always and do not grow weary there-
in. His disciple* were Ip, the near
future to be oppressed and persecuted
as if God had forsaken them and did
not Beed their cries. Jere gives
them the assaranee that God would

standing all the calamklee that might

their deliverance. God feels a parti-

be will hear and save. Jere mya.

with joy when the Society sent him to

the responsible task of preparing and
printing a Manchu version of five New

gained was of Inestimable value for
his later career, and he acquitted him-
