"Make me thereof a little cake first"

NEVA CORNWELL

"They cease to have who cease to give:
Such is the law of Love."

The temptation to justify one's self for not giving may sometimes assert itself through the claims of curtailed income and lack. This is not a new problem, peculiar to this time, for if we turn to the seventeenth chapter of I Kings we find therein related the experience of a widow who was similarly tempted. She who, as it was shown to the prophet, was to sustain him, was as yet unaware of her privilege, and because of her sense of lack would have turned him away. Believing that her supply was barely enough for herself and her son, that indeed it was even too meager to sustain them for long, she would have allowed her God-given opportunity to pass by.
