How can you, how dare you, defraud the Lord, by applying it to any other purpose?

Even under false accusation those who are in the right can afford to be calm and considerate. God is acquainted with all that is misunderstood and misinterpreted by men, and we can safely leave our case in His hands.

Those who are actuated by the spirit of Christ will possess that charity which suffers long and is kind.

Some think that if they give money to this work, it is all they are required to do; but this is an error. Donations of money cannot take the place of personal ministry.
