How Much was he Worth P"

There Is IL terrible significance in the
questions we sometime ask upon the
death of IL wealthy man. if we only un-
derstood the real Significance of the
questions. "How much WAS he wolth?"
we ask. And the angels might reply !:
"WOrth He wasn't worth anything.
His money is worth something. His body
is worth something, as Il source of fer
ullty to the soil. But he wasn't worth
anythng.'
SO we vary the question: "Yes, but
how much did he leave?' "Oh. leave"
it might he answered: "Ycs, | will tell
you. He had houses, lots, bonds,
stocks, gold. notes, merchandise, farms.
And he left Great God he lett them

Naked and destitute came he into the

he go the way whence he came. He
carried nothing. Neither land, nor

But his neighbor has died: man
