OUR GIFT TO GOD
By "PER'.
The blind hymn writer Fanny 'Cros-
by found a great deal of pleasure in
working in the New York Missions.
One evening she was addressing a
meeting and she felt some, one was
under deep 'convretion.. At the close
of the Message she made an appeal
that any one .who wished to accept
Christ as his or her personal. Saviour
should so signify by coming forward.
An eighteen year old boy went up and
in tears told Miss Crosby that lie had
some years ago promised his Mother
that he` would meet her in Heaven.
He had' fallen in with bad companions
and had become so deeply sunk in sin
that he could never expsct to fulfil
hie promise. The, meeting closed but
the blind leader prayed and talked
with hint until he at last saw the light
and went away knowing Christ as
his personal Friend, One in whom he
believed and trusted. That night be-
fore the poetess' retired she wrote
that beautiful hymn "Rescue the
Perishing" which has ,been the means
of leading many to Christ. •
Tho' they are slighting Him,
Still He is waiting,
Waiting the penitent child to re.
eeive;
Plead with them earnestly,
Plead with them gently:
He will forgive if they only be-
lieve.
During the past six years many of
the Missionaries to Foriegn lands
have had to return home on account
of conditions in the countries in which
they were working for their Master,
but Christians general are glad to
know that many of them are prepar-
ing to again take up their work in
lands of their adoption. Many of
these brave men and women have.
gone through untold torture in prison
camps, before they were released and
allowed to return to their native
land, but in spite of that they are
ready to answer God's call and go
back.
It is indeed a very high privilege
to be called by God to go out to the
foreign or home field to follow the
Lords commission" Go ye into all the
world and preach the. gospel." There
are many of us who cannot go in per-
son, but there are very few who eau- I
not in some way help and it is our
duty to do so just as much as if we
felt God's call to go -to the Mission
Field.
In recent pears many of us have
had more money than we ever had
before, but what are we doing with
it? In the majority of cases we are
spending it on ourselves, If we by
any chance give any money to Miss-
ions, church finances or any Philanth- r
ropic cause we call it a gift. It is
not a gift to God for every thing we'
have belongs to God and what we
have is merely a loan from Him.
ing around planning teas, bazaars,
How much time we spend in hurry -1
etc. to raise money to carry on God's
work. Why do we need,some earthly
recompense, before we will give to
God what is rightly His own, "Money
is an article that may be used as a
universal passport to every where
except heaven and as a universal pro-
vider for everything except happi-
ness."
There are many ways in which we
can give. Among these perhaps the
most important are:
- (1) Thy systematic way In order
to do that we should take regularly
from our allowance our tenth as re-
quired by the word of God.
(2) The way of most sacrifice to,
ourselves.
The first of these does not include
our free will offering 'which we will
find mounting as we become more
and more interested in disposing of
our tenth. This latter we must feel
we owe to the Lord. We condemn
men and at times women who go into
a store and steal from the proprietor.
The law takes a hand there and
should the culprit be found • he re-
ceives a court sentence. We are just
as dishonest if we do not give our
rightful allowance to God but we do
not think about it in that way., We
have either not been taught to think
like that or we ,have grown careless
about it, Transgressors against the
laws on Earth meet an Earthly judge,
but when we have finished our life
here we will face a Judge who !mows
all the circumstanees and who will
give us a sentence which we .haVe
escaped here.
Then when we have given our tenth
we can go on with our free will off-
ering. If we habitually take these
two items' from our income it will be
a joy to us to be able to give. in a
greater or less degree to the most of
the requestswe are confronted with
and what a joy it is to be able to say
"Yes, I will be glad to give to tile.
best of my ability"! There is no one
who will receive more joy from that
than the giver. Should we follow
that plan we will never needto give
grudgingly but our offering will be
given cheerfully, with enjoyment, and
in the majority of cases liberally.
There are thos who can give prob-
ably much more than we can, but we
know that God saw the widows mite
and the story of that humble offer-
ing haa coma down fbrnilob the sue
since the time of Christ. We can at
least give the widow's mite and if
we give honestly our Saviour will not
require any more from us, We believe
that no blessing can come to those
who give with a feeling that they aro
not required to do so or who give with
the thought of being recompensed.
Paul says in that beautiful thirteenth
chapter of first 'Corinthians that we
must give with charity or with love.
"And though I bestow all my
gifts to feed the poor, and though
I give niy body to be burned. and
have not charity, it profiteth me
nothing."
We must learn to give for Christ's
sake and for the sake of those for
whom He died.
Let us then give willingly. Christ
thus gave His life for us. We ask
God to enable us to trust Him. The
story is told of a minister who in
offering a prayer in a meeting said,
"Lord, help up to trust Thee with our
souls." Many voices responded,
"Amen." He went on "Lord, 'help us
to trust Thee with our bodies." Again
there was a loud "Amen." Finally
he said "Lord, help us to trust Thee
with our money." The only response
to this was from an old and poor
woman. Yet the money is not ours.
It belongs to Him who gave His life
for us,
Our highest service to God is to
give ourselves to His missionary ser-
vice. If we cannot do that we can
share ,our money, no matter how small
the amount may be.
"Over against the treasury
He sits who gave Himself for pie
He sees the coppers that. I give
Who gave His life that I might
live.
He sees the silver I withhold
Who left for me His throne of
gold.
Who found a manger for His bed,
Who had nowhere to lay His head,
He saes the gold I clasp so tight,
And I am debtor in His sight."
Years ago William Ewart Glad-
stone said: "The greatest question of
the age is the Missionary question
and the greatest task is the winning
of the world for Christ." What was
true at that time is just as true to-
day. An essential part of the life
of Christian is to have a firm belief
in Missions. Some people saayy� e.

l OBITUARY I
ANDREW LORE
(By our Hensall Correspondent)
Residents of Hensall and district
Were shocked to learn of the sudden
passing of one of Hensali's highly
respected citizens in the person of
Andrew Love, who died at his home
Monday afternoon, June 3, very sud-
denly, in his 92nd year. Mr. Love was
up town on Saturday a couple of times
and always called for his mail every
day and was a very familiar figure ou
the streets of the yillage and was well
known in the village.
Born in Paris, Ont., he came to
Stanley when a youth, and farmed
there successfully, until he retired to
take up residence in Hensall 24 years
ago, He was a member of Carmel
Presbyterian Church. For many years
he attended the Love reunion, an an-
nual event, and was the oldest mem-
ber of the clan ,present.
Airs. Love predeceased him five
years ago. Surviving are three sons;
William, London; Gordon, Hillsgreen;
Hugh, Hensall; two daughters, Mrs.
Lorne Luker, and Mrs. Clifford Moir
Hensall; one brother, William Love,
Hensall; one sister, Mrs. P, Fisher,
Gravenhurst.
Private funeral services were held
are plenty of unconverted .people in
our own country without sending mis-
sionaries to foreign lands, It is
indeed true that missionaries are
needed here but Christ says: "Go ye
into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature," but with
the command comes the promise, "Lo,
I am with you alway." If we refuse
to carry out that command we will
have to bear the responsibility for it.
We have spoken about giving our-
selves and giving our money. It may
be we cannot give the former and
our resources are very, limited but
there is one thing we can do. We can
pray for our missionaries who are in
the foreign and home fields and we
can ask God to make the people with
whom they come in contact receptive
to their message.
In the first place we must be fol-
lowers of the meek and lowly Jesus
or we can neither give ourselves, our
money or our prayers in the spirit
in which we should. If we would only
realize it we cannot know the real
joy of life until we give ourselves

JOHNSON PITCHES
FINE "NO-HITTER"
AGAINST RIPLEY
Young Len Johnson pitched him-
self right into baseball's "hall of
fame" by twirling a sterling "no
hitter" in the opening match of the
WOAA juvenile baseball series it
Community Park Monday evening.
Coach Bert White's Clinton Lions
defeated Ripley Red Birds 8-2 in the
fixture.
One of Ripley's two counters was
the result of a walk to Needham, the
very first man up, two passed balls
and a fielder's choice. In the second
Cameron knocked a .slow hit bal
which went right through tall Alex
Kennedy's legs at first and was im-
mediately followed by a little loose
from the family residence Wednesday
afternoon, June 5, Rev. P. A. Fergus-
on officiating. Burial was in Baird's
cemetery.
•FRANK WOOD
Frank Wood, an esteemed resident
of Hullett Township, passed away at
the home of his son, Edwin Wood, on
Friday, May 24, in his 80th year.
Mr. Wood was a son of the late
George C. Wood and Catherine Wood,
and was born in England,. He came
to Canada when a lad of four years,
taking up residence at Islington. He
later moved to Colborne Township,
before taking up residence in Hullett.
Until he moved to Londesboro a few
years ago he resided' where his son,
Edwn, lives.
'In 1909 he married Rebecca Town-
send, who survives with one son, Ed-
win, .and one daughter, Mrs. William
Manning, Londesboro, • . One sister,
Mrs. A. Lvddiatt, Blyth, and four
grandchildren, also survive.
The late Mr. Wood was a very
successful farmer, and an outstanding
breeder of fine cattle. He was said
to have owned one of the best Short-
horn herds in Canada.
Funeral services, which were larg-
ely attended, were held on Monday
from the home of his son. Rev. A. D.
Penman, Londesboro United Church,
of which Mr. Wood was a member,
condueted the service. Donald McNall
sang a solo, "No Night. There."
Pallbearers were. Duncan McCal-
lum, Willis Mountain, William Brom-
ley, Frank Little, Howard Armstrong
and Robert YungbIutt. Fiowerbear-
ers were all grandchildren. Burial
took place in Union emetery, CBIyth.
wholly to Him and ask for the privil-
ege of co-operating with Him in His
work.
The following beautiful story is
worth repeating. This spring Chief,
Whitefeather was speaking in a city
church and he told of how on June 4,
1939, he was summoned by the Ind-
ian Bureau to sing for the King' and
Queen of England while they were
visiting in Washington, D.C. The
last piece he sung was "I'd rather
have Jesus than Silver and Gold." He
then said to Queen Elizabeth, "Your
Majesty, I would like to ask you, do
you know Jesus as your personal
Saviour?" The Queen looked at hint
and said: "Some people know about
God, some know about Christ, but
the .Lord Jesus is the Possessor of
my heart. My husband is also a be-
liever." Then with a smile on his
face, the Ring of England shad; "I'd
rather have Jesus too." What a
testimony!
When Christ finished His work on
Earth He left the Mission work to
His disciples. His Christian follow-
ers of today should be ,Missionaries
for Him. If we refuse to spread the
Gospel, Christ has left no other way.
If we have not accepted Him will we
not do so at onec and then enjoy the
great pleasure of leading someone
to Him.
