" Scores of these children will carry the blessing of this gift
with them out into life, and no one will ever know about the
endowment, either. That to me is the divine way of giving, "
said Miss Sincere to Minister Good.
" God knows all about it," interjected Evangelist.
" Yes," answered the minister, " even the cup of cold water
given in the name of a disciple is recognized and blessed."

THE CRUSADE FOR CONSECRATED WEALTH

" There are too many of our churches and religious institu-
tions to-day who are taking gold from the hands of the inglorious
rich," said Evangelist.
" Many give for the sake of notoriety, and others to cover
up some sin of craftiness; the world is yet full of scheming,
and the Devil passes out many dollars for holy uses, and laughs

Determination.
" Yes," added Whole-soul, " and Satan informed him of one
who had covered up a great theft by his generosity to a school
of learning."

WHO HAS IT ENRICHED ?

" What a blessing honestly gotten wealth may be; and on the
other hand, what a curse the gold taken from the Archfiend's
treasury may become," added Minister Good.
" We can close the Archfiend's vaults forever," said Deter-
mination, " if the conscience of God's children is aroused. We
have thwarted the Enemy before, and we can do it again in the
name of the Lord."
'Consecrated wealth' shall be the ringing watchword of
Gods servants. We are living in the day where upon the bells
of the horses, must be inscribed " 'Holiness unto the Lord'
answered the prophet.
