1. The disciples* question (v. 6).
The/ said, “Lord, wilt thou at thin
restore again the kingdom to D-
jn«l?" The pliruse “this time** Indl*
totes their perplexity as to the time
of the kingdom's establishment. They
yw entirely right in their expects-
tiou of the kingdom, for ft hud been
predicted by the prophets, and au-
ftepnced by Christ as “at hand." Uow-
ever, they were in darkness as to the
frqal purpose of God in calling and es-
tablishing the church. This is a mat-
ter concerning which there is much
confusion today.
2. Christ's answer (vv. 7, 8).
He turned their attention from the
iflre to know tirn?s ,and seasons,
yrhlcb belong to God, to tlieir supreme
duty. They were to be witnesses of
jjbrlst to (he uttermost parts of the
3rth, beginning at Jerusalem.
II. Christian Stewardship (II Cor.
0:1-0).
» L Examples of true Christian benev-
•tocf (vv. 14).
The liberality of these Macedonian
ChPrclies exhibits practically every
exalted principle and motive entering
Into the giving which hns God's sanc-
1 (1) The source of true giving (v. 1).
This is said to be the grace of God,
fcg which to meant that the disposi-
tion to give freely of onr means Is
'mated by the Holy Spirit
(2) Thar gave from the depths of
tNilr poverty, not from the abundance
dt their riches (v. 2). Their limited
■wans did not cause them to be
■Usted la their gifts, but their deep
poverty abounded, onto the riches of
phflr liberality. On the basis of thla
philosophy, our poverty ought to be
a oall for greater generosity, for God
hag promised that'If we give liberally
■a will give liberally In return.
(3) Their willingness surpassed their
■Mllty (v. t).
God's gifts are reckoned by the de-
gree of willingness, not by the amount
given (see v. 12, cf. 0:7).
(4) They were Insistent on being
allowed the privilege of giving (v. 4).
(&) They first gave themselves to
the Lord (v. &). This Is most funda-
mental to light giving, for when one
gives himself to the Lord there Is no
reason for withholding Ills gifts. If
•ne does not first give himself there
prill be the desire to retain as much
for self as can be done wllbln the
Pounds of respectability. We should
first Induce men and women to give
their lives to the Lord.
2. Emulation of Macedonian benev-
elencc urged (vv. 6-15). Moved by
the generosity of the Macedonian
churches, I'uul desired Titus to com-
mend to the Corinthians the same
grace. This be urged upon them.
(1) Not as n command (v. 8). Ac-
ceptable giving must not only be lib-
eral, but spontaneous.
(2) As a proof of the sincerity of
their love (v. 8).
(3) As the completion and harmony
of Christian character (v. 7).
The Corinthian church abounded In
spiritual gifts such ns faith, utter-
ance, knowledge, diligence, and love
for their ministers, but the grace of
liberality was needed for the hur-
mony of their lives. ,
(4) The self-sacrificing example of
Christ (v. 0). Self-sacrifice Is the
test of love. All who have enthroned
Him us the Lord of their lives,
crowned Him Lord of all, will desire
to Imitate Him in nil things.
(5) The true principle upon which
gifts are acceptable with God (vv.
10-12).
God does not estimate the value of
• gift upon the ground of Intrlns'
worth, but of tho underlying rnotho
•f the giver.
(6) Because of common equality
(w. 13-15). Every Christian should
give something. The law governing
Hip gift is the ability of the giver.

• • • Side Dress with Chilean Nitrate
ff^HE more Chilean Nitrate of Soda you
X feed to your cotton crop, the more cer-
tain you arc to make a big per acre increase.
Don’t take a chance on the weather . . .
Chilean Nitrate helps set an early crop,
strong enough to stand bad weather.
Don’t take a chance on the weevil . . .
Chilean Nitrate helps mature bolls early—
ahead of this destructive pest.
**I used Chilean Nitrate of Soda this year
on a cotton experiment olot for the first
time. I only used 300 pounds on. two acres*
with one acre beside it with none. Tho
two acres with Chilean Nitrate yielded
2,600 pounds of seed cotton. The acre
without Chilean Nitrate made only 760
pounds.” . *
G. KEARBY ALLEN,
Route 4, Grand Saline, Texas.
Chilean Nitrate is the old original “soda”
that 800,000 farmers used last year. It is the
only natural nitrate fertilizer—not synthetic
—not artificial. It contains all the elements
nature gave it... including iodine. Nothing
added. Nothing taken away.
Don’t be a take-a-chance farmer. Use
Chilean Nitrate and make money.
