“Go your way, merchants, and give largely as God gives to you. Go your way trades people, and scatter as you can, for God first gives you the means. Go your way, you working men and toiling women, and give according to your ability. Give, you rich, because you are rich, and give you poor, because you cannot afford to get poorer, and you are likely to do so unless you offer God His portion.”
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1834-1892) British Preacher in Sermon #835: A Cheerful Giver is Beloved of God delivered on 27 August 1868 at the Metropolitan Tabernacle.
