Paul on ;he Grace of Giving. II. Cor.
Till: 1-16.
Golden Text Remember the words
f tfie Lord Jesus, how he said. It Is
ore bleeoed to glvs than to receive.
Act m:S5.
Are these words In the Golden Text
quoted from Jetus, hyperbolical, that
Is, a rhetorical over-statement, or Is it
literally true, that It is mors blessed to
Blvs tMm to receive, snd If so, whyT
(This question must be answered In
writing by members of ths club.)
Verses 1-6 Is It according to anl
mal nature, or to average human na
ture, to give to others outside of kith
and kin? . .
Is giving liberally, Intelligently and
systematically, to religion and charity,
always a "grace," that Is, an inclina
tion Divinely Imparted?
What la the relation between giving
and loving?
If we are In need or "affliction" our
selves, will the grace of giving still"
operate in us. It our hearts are right?
May "deep poverty," great "Joy" and
rich "liberality" be in the name life,
and 1h such a combination natural or
supernatural?
There was great poverty and suf
fering among the Christians at Jeru
salem, and the liberality of the poor
churches at Macedonia to relieve
their need Is what Paul here refers
to; contrast the evil at Jerusalem,
with the resultant good grace of giv
ing developed at Macedonia, and say I
which is the greater; that is did the
result do as much good, or exceed the
evil done by the cause?
Titua it would appear was appointed
to present to the Corinthians the need
of the Jerusalem Christians, to take
up a collfction, and to develop in them
the grace of giving; why is there no
work more noble, or duty more Im
perative, tl.an for ministers and teach
ers to teach the people the duty and
Joy of giving?
Verses 7-8 Paul apparently as
sumes that a person may abound "In
faith and utterance, and knowledge,
and in love," and not
abound In the grace of giving; but is
he right, for how can such a thing
be possible?
Paul states that he did not urge the
grace of giving by "commandment";
Is it therefore any less the duty, and
privilege of every Christian, rich and
poor, to abound in this grace?
Verse y W hat should be the su
preme motive, and what Is the greatest
inducement to give liberally?
What is the chief grace In the re
splendent character of Jesus?'
Did the giving of Jesus of himself,
and all he had for us, imply perman
ent poverty for him. or was it the sur
est way to all that great wealth Is sup
posed to stand for?
Why does giving of all kinds finally
result in getting more of that which
we give, than would be possible If we
kept it? (Think of money, love, knowl
edge, experience, encouragement, etc.)
Verses 10-11 What is the differ
ence in promising a subscription to re
ligion or benevolence and not paying
It, and not paying your grocer or
baker?
Verses 12-14 What is the propor
tion of our Income which the Bible
demands of us, as a minimum? "
What are some ef the many advant
ages of the tithing system?
Verse 16 What reason is there to
believe that if we give systematically
to God's cause that we ourselves shall
never lack?

Apple Display At Spokane
Far surpassing anything ever
held in its line was the National
Apple Show at Spokane last
week. There were nearly three
acres of ground floor covered in
this exhibit and over four thou
sand entries. There were apples
of all varieties from the small
crab to the largest grown. The
largest apple in the show was a
Spokane Beauty that weighed 41
ounces and was raised near Spo
kane. Jhe nex1- largest was a
Wolf River from Hood River,
Oregon, that weighed 37 ounces
and was over eighteen inches in
circumference. r ,
In the car load competition
there were thirteen full cars, one
each from Chelan, Wash., Gar
field, Wash., Green Bluff, Wash.,
Ashland, Oregon, Eagle Point,
Oregon, Selah, Wash., Wenat
chee, Wash., Sunnyside, Wash.,
Entiat, Wash., Farmington,
T.
Preferred
Beans,
Monmouth,
Wash., and three cars from North
Yakima, Wash. This prize was
$1000 to the winner and was won
by the car of Spitzenbergs from
Eagle Point (Rogue River) Ore
gon, grown and exhibited by
Tronson & Guthrie.
There were apples entered
from all the leading fruit grow
ing states in the United States,
including New York, Virginia,
Colorado, Maine, Missouri, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Isl
and, Tennessee, Arkansas, Ne
braska, Utah, etc. Liberal prizes
were offered in the different
classes all the way from a single
apple to a plate display, basket
display, barrel display, box dis
play and carload sweepstakes.
A fine carload of Grimes Golden
was a close second in the carload
class.
The placing of these awards
was not only done on the merit
of the apples, but on the packing
as well from a commercial stand
point The best packed carload
in the show was that of O. A.
Smith, of Garfield, who sent a
display of Rome Beauties that
had been grown without irriga
tion. Conriderable strife was
manifested in the show between
the irrigated and non-irrigated
districts, but as a rule the irri
gated districts had the largest
and best-colored apples.
The exhibits from east of the
Rocky Mountains did not com-
! pare favorably with any of the
fruit grown in the West, but in
the by-products class the first
prize for apple cider was carried
awy by John A. Perkins of
Mitchell. Ind., in a class where a
dozen or more competitors living
! jn the Northwest were entered
In all there were about 15,000
boxes shown, the Rome Beauties
ranging first in number of boxes,
the Spitzen burgs second, and
Winesaps third. Pacific Home
