Excerpt from Our Giving: What It Is and What It Ought to Be, a Plea for Increased Liberality on the Part of God's People Systematic and proportionate giving for religious and benevolent purposes is gradually assuming its true place in the Christian Church as an essential part of Christian worship. The opinion of the Church itself is, however, not yet fully matured on the subject. Indeed, the majority of her members know little of it. There is, therefore, need for reiterated exposition of the principles on which Christian giving is based. Ministers who give their people, not what they want, but what they need, will not neglect to speak of the grace of giving.
