"Let your light so shine before men that they may see thy good works and glorify the Father who is in Heaven". . ."Lay not up for yourself treasures on Earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and thieves break through and steal; but lay up for yourself treasures in Heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and thieves do not break through and steal". . . "He that soweth sparingly shall reap sparingly;  he that soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully" . . . Everyman as he so purposeth in his own heart shall give, not grudgingly nor of necessity, for GOD loves a cheerful giver".  .  .
