McCamue spoke 01" her department as' a very inaporta.lnt one, because it systolnatic giving coultl be adopted the money In-eblenn, would be solved. She s'l wed that the tithe way the lowest 'fear«n of giving, and was in existence even among pagan lneople. Giving should be :pari, 0'f one's ,worship, and :a part, from vanish 1110+ ohs should be ex-entpt. She told an interesting story ;of n woman, on the, Otonabee Riv- er, who in her dire, ppverty raised from,. S5 to 10 a' year cEax", the nlissiolEtpries, one year making an investment /of a fowl, utnether year of yarn. And from that district came Rob:,' Emberspn, the missionary to Japan. Surely the leaven of self-sacrifice had wlorked. Mrs. MCCamus' said abet those :report- rung to her frioin the Dept. of Systematic Giving showed a fine disregard for stn- tistics, but yet the Dept. was growing fast. Cards that she had sent out trio varlions ',Persians, asking then: what: they oolnsidered the duties' of system- atic aunts. btiou'ght "tut some splendid suggestions, such as discussion. of the subject at every meeting, the use of the "Christian Steward," a Bible 'exer- else ,60 tithing, 'and tile free distribution of literature. Our auxiliary 'reported' that . in formeryears, they had made 111010 money by holding a church festi- val, estival, but last year they dtscar'ded this in favor of a smis,sionar'y Sabbath,; with very good results. Io conclusion 142ris. McCaanus reoom- to tided the Bible as a teSit-biook oat systematic giviing, and conducted a "model tithe study." The questions and skewers were as follows, Is there a distinct command onrmalld L'o tithe? Deut.14.22—"Thiou shalt •sure tithe all the increase of Oily seed." Where are we clommaks'' dee to bring the tithe?' 1 ' Ned. 10.335—A,nd hicv bring the first fruits of our ground onot the first, fruits of all malrpier of trees, year by year, unto the I -Louse of Jehovah."
