If we would share His triumph, we must prepare his way. The nations are turning. Whoever would help them, must help now. Such opportunities, once let slip, never return. We inherit the answers to our fathers' prayers. The door is open for us to do what they never could. The church of the coming century is arising to meet the demand. We must help these young people and set an example to the givers of the next generation. A Pocket Revival is needed--not a wave of excited liberality, followed by a corresponding depression, but a permanent advance of the whole church in its theory and practice of the duty of giving. Whatever may be said of the individual Christian's right to luxuries, has he a right to them now? Ought not the selfish claims of the lower nature to be sacrificed to the exigencies of the Master's work? Let Bunyan's child Patience teach us to wait for our luxuries till we come into our kingdom. It is true that an average giving of one tenth would meet the need. But Dr. Trumbull has truly said that " the average man never does his duty. It is the extraordinary man who accomplishes anything in this world--not the extraordinarily rich man, nor the extraordinarily able man, nor the extraordinarily good man--but the extraordinarily faithful man" and woman.
