Miss. 39345 "Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give to the (Luke If a man who is comfortably fixed should get up in a service today and make that kind of statement, the church members would go home saying something like this: "It's a pity about Dick's losing his mind. Any man that would give half of all he has is Yet Zacchaeus, the ringleader of the worst crowd in Jericho, looked into the Face of God and gave half of what he had. I have never understood how anybody could be stingy with God. God is never stingy with us.

He always gives with a lavish hand. does not give flowers in a single bouquet; He gives them i in such profusion that the imagination is staggered. He bejewels the heavens with a million stars. He wastes the exquisite tints of a golden sunset upon eyes which cannot appreciate. He gives the fruit tree more blossoms than it can bear.

And yet the church has to get down on her knees and beg her members to send the Gospel across the waters and to support the cause at home. The old-time Jew under law gave a tenth of his income. We under grace ought to be ashamed to give less than the Jew gave under law. If the church members of this country paid even the tenth of their income, we would have more money than we would know how to spend. You say, "I don't know how to figure this tenth." If somebody owed you, you would figure it all right! I have learned from my own experience that it pays to have God in partnership with you.

I have never known a man to be a bankrupt whose partner was God, for God has wealth. God can break a grain of sand into a solar system. He can turn a dewdrop into a diamond as big as the sun. Let Him help you run your business! -Bob Jones, Sr. We grow cucumbers for pickles on more acreage in Mississippi than any other vegetable crop except watermelons.
