Are those words In the (iolden Text quoted from Jesiih hyperbolical, that In. n rhetorical overstatement, or Ih It literally true, that It In more bann ed to Rive than to receive, and If so. why? (Thin question mum be An swered In writing by niemliers of the club.) Verses 1-0 In It according to ani mal nature, or to average hum. in nature, to give to othern outside of kith or kin?

If we are In need or "allllctloti" ournelven will the grace of giving Ht 111 operate In un. If our heartn are right? May "deep poverty," great "Joy" mid rich "llliernllty" be In the same life, and In nuch a combination natu ral or supernatural? There wan great poverty and suf ferlng among the Christians at Jeru nalem, and the liberality of the poor churchen at Macedonia to relieve their need In what I'aul here refer to;contrant the evil ut Jerusleui with the renultant good grace of giving developed at Macedonia, and say which In the greater; that In did the renult do an much good, or exceed the evil done by the c a line?

Did the giving of Jesus of himself, and nil he had for un, Imply perma nent poverty for him, or was It the ; surest way to all that great wealth Is supposed to stand for? Why does giving of all kinds dually result in getting more of that which we give, than would be possible If we kept It? (Think of money, love, knowledge, experience, encourage ment, etc.) Verses 10-11 What Is the difference lu promising a subscription to relig ion or lienevolence and not paying It, and not paying your grocer or baker?
