THE SERVANT AND THE GIVER

THE SERVANT AND THE GIVER

I think the servant has a claim, but it is unhappy for the servant to build on or remember his claim; and on the other hand it is not good for those taught in the word not to “communicate”. The servant’s happy place is not to be chargeable, the giver’s happy place is not to be “weary in well doing”. “To do good and to communicate forget not” (Hebrews 13: 16). I know for my own part, I try to deny myself in little things, such as books, etc., which I did not when I was not a receiver, and what I do receive I feel it is my duty to pass on if I do not really require it.

I have been greatly interested in seeing in scripture, how God cares for and helps His people on the lowest platform of truth, be it ever so little; but while He does so, because His tender mercy is over all His works, no one rises ^[p. 89] superior to the power of evil raging at the time but the saint who is on the highest platform, or in scriptural language, in the testimony.
