"For one church to help another church bear its own burdens, therefore, has scriptural precedent. But for one church to solicit funds from other churches for general distribution in other fields or places, thus becoming the treasury of other churches, is quiet a different question. Such procedure makes a sort of society out of the elders of a local church, and for such there is no scriptural precedent or example." (Gospel Advocate, May 14, 1931, Page 909).
