N orth Y amhill ,»O r ., ' Aug. .25, 1879. in 1 * I have heard a comer unication read from the M essenger some months ago, which I wish to reply to from memory. It reads thus: I love to give, &c, because the Lord loves a cheerful giver, &c. • To that brother or sister I wish to say that it would be owing to the purposes'for which they give it, or what it was intended to be applied to. More wickedness has been done by giving than withholding. Still I admit that the Lord loves a cheerful giver, and the best way to apply the gift is to give it to the Lord himself or to his poor. To give to the rich is strictly forbidden irt the whole Scrip ture, as much as it is to take from the poor, and both shall come to poverty. Proverbs. And the man that possesses a large capital, either in his hands or in his chest, I consider him to be rich, for the Scripture says, “ He that wont work, neither shall he eat; and I hear there isr some amongst you that don’t work, but are busybodies, meddling with other peoples’ matters.’’ Paul.
