We were en- deavoring to implant ' within the}r „youzig minds the sY,stOn Jesus ught., that there is more happiness in giving ,than receiving. "Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how He said, it is more blessed to give than to reeeiwe." Acts 20:35. We learn by this that God meant giving to be a sort of therapy and soul's enrichment to the one who gives, as much acs it • will be an assurance of sincere affection to the one who receives: The •art of giving should be taught to children early in life and they will form a practice that will be of value to thein all their lives.

He had 'been given ten cents for this service and he hurried home to tell his, mother. He asked her to give him ten pennies for the dime; then'she watched with interest as, he spread fhe coins out' --en the table. Before putting any in his "piggy bank" or planning what he would spend on candy, he set aside two pennies and said "That's my Love money." His Mother was mystified by this .expression and questioned him about it. He explained that on Sunday the childrelp had been told• that when they; received spending money they should 'set aside some of it for Jestis because He loved them so much He gave Himself to• be their Saviour and Friend. • So, _, therefore, • they should do something for Him of tithing as one way to show their 'love for Jesus' in return for His great love for them, W _,did' not realize_ how well the lesson ,had been absorbed until his mother told us this incident. ' We can learn a lesson from this littlte pay and give 'out of love and from a thankful heart. The Lord sees into our hearts and knows whether we give grudgingly or willingly. We need to learn ,to ,give sacrificially if we would know ab the 'blessedness ' out which Jesus spoke.
