PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
HARVEST THANKSGIVING SERVICES.
The local Presbyterian Church will hold harvest thanksgiving services and golden free will offerings to-morrow at 11 a.m. and 7 p.m. The services will be conducted by Mr. Nicholas. Gifts of fruit and produce may be left at the church this evening.
The Jewish people, of old, supported the Temple and its services of worship in two ways, first by a freewill offering of a tenth of their income and by thanksofferings on special or seasonable occasions. The early Christians followed this method, but with the breaking up of the Roman Empire and the scattering of the church it fell into disuse, and many questionable methods of raising money for church purposes become customary, but of late years with a truer sense of our use and responsibility of money, the realisation that not only is God worshipped by word service, but by our goods and money. It is not for the exceptional and devout individual to give largely, but for our giving to be part of the dailyworsbip of our Heavenly Father, to whom “belongeth the increase of all that, we possess.”
