II Cor. !sM I-ll Golden Tuti If Cor. vlll Com mentary by th Bar. D. M. Steams. I. "For as touching tho ministering to the saints, It Is superfluous (or me to write to you." The great privilege of minister ing to others, whether in things temporal or spiritual, is a very Godlike one, for "The Bon of man eame not to be ministered un to, but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many (Hath, xx., 28). He la our great and only example in all things If we have drat of all truly received Him and thus been saved by His blood (Eph. I., 6, 7). Until we are saved by Him we cannot serve Him, but when onoe we have become chil dren of God by faith in Him then our great work Is to serve the living and true God. 8. "Your seal hath provoked very many." As we consider Him of whom it Is written, "The aeal of thine bouse hath eaten me up" fTs. Ixlx.. 9; John It., 17), and who, though He was rich, yet for oursakes became poor, that we through His poverty might be rich vtt ; ' -' 1 " u wt.. wo 1 nil iviniiiK iy filled with His spirit and manifest His seal (H Cor. 111.. 18). Then as others see Him In us they will admire Him aud want to be like Him. When once we are saved by Him, He asks us to hand over to Him our bodies that He may dwell In us and walk in us to the glory of God the Father (Itoni. xll., 1, 2; II Cor. vl., 16; will.. 5). ' 8. "Yet have I sent the brothren lest our boasting of you should be In vain In this behalf; that, as I said, yo may be ready." There is often a seeming rend! ness that does not alwavs result in a per formance, cither through lack of sincerity or some temptation of the adversary Hence Paul sent Titus and a brother whose praise was la all the churches (II Cor via, 16-18) designating thera both us "the messengers of the churches, the glory of Christ." To these brethren, ami through them, tho bollevers nt Corinth wore to show the proof of their love. 4. "Lost haply if they of Macedonia come with mo anil find you unprepared we should be ashamed In this same conn dent boasting." If wo trust In people and n their promises, we shall be very apt to be ashamed, for the best intentions of peo ple may come to unught. John, bv tho Spirit, exhorts us so to abide In Christ nut! wo snail not be nshnniod before Him at His coming (I John II., 8). If (lod Is working In us, His thoughts tuid works are sure to bo fullllled (Isa. xlv., 24; Jer. II. 2'J). But If we are, apurt from Him, seek ing to accomplish somewhat, It will be very ant to full through. 5. "Therefore I thought It necessnrv to exhort tho brethren, that thev would irolie. tore unto you and make up beforchaud your bounty." There seems to mo to ln little mora of looking to men than to Ood In ull this exhortation and tearfulness on tho part of Paul. It seems a good deal like tho way things are donto-dnv, rather than when, in tho days of Moses, the people gavo 10 willingly and abundantly that they had to be restrained from bringing (Ex., xxxvl., B, 7). 6. "But this I sny, no which sowcth spar Ingly shall reap also spurlngly, and ho which soweth bountifully hhall reap also bountifully." Or, as it is written in Prov. xl 21, "Thero is thnt scnttercth and vet Increnscth, and thero Is that wltbholdeth more than Is meet, but it tendoth to pov arty." And again in Prov. xlll., 7, "There Is that miik nt 1 1 lilmunir .. i,..i. .....1. t .r . . .uu, jui. iuuu nulli ng; there is that maketh himself poor yet hath great rldios." No farmer expects a great harvest from a sjnull sowing; howcun a Christian think otherwise? 7. "Every man according as he purposeth n his heart, so let him give; not grudg ingly or of necessity, for Ood loveth a cheerful giver." All service to bo accept able must be honrt service unto Ood, in tho name of the Lord Jesus and In tho power of the Hplrlt. Those who worship Ood must worship Him In spirit and in truth. No more outward form counts for anything God so loved that He gave. The Hon of Ood loved mo and gave Himself for mo, and unless we cheerfully give we have not His stilrlt. The Orook word bllaros, here translated cheerful, is not found elsewhere.

The soed to bo sown Is Ills, whether It bo seod In tho form of His word or money or good deeds. "Tho soed Is the word of God." "Tho sil ver is mine and the gold Is mine, sal,th the Lord of Hosts." "Good works are also pre pared for us to walk In" (Luke vlli., 11; Hag. II.. 8: Eph. II., 10). When God sues any one who Is willing faithfully to'scntter sood. Ho will abundantly supply both the soed and His blessing, without which thero can be no increase (I Cor. ill., 7). ii. "Doing enncned in everything to all bountifulness, which causoth through us thanksgiving to God."
