Excerpt from The Church in Earnest: A Call for the Training Necessary for World Achievements The efficiency of the Church of Jesus Christ depends on the strength of her individual members. This being true, every child Of goo should be anxious to meet every condition that will lead to his largest development and most fruitful service. Many sources of strength stand out prominently in the Word Of God for the enlargement of the believer's life. I wish here to call special attention to the grace of liberality or giving as a source of strength. It may be difficult for some minds to comprehend how liberality can become a source Of power. I am satisfied that if we Will stay close to the Word Of God and accept its teachings on this, as on other mat ters Of revelation, we shall be led to recog nize this great truth.
