LUKE II: 1871.
,l3. And one of the company said unto
him, Master, speak to my brother, that
he divide the inheritance with me.
IA. And he said unto him. Man, who
made me a Judge and divider over your
10. And he said unto them, Take
heed. and beware of covetonsness; for
a mans life consistent not In the album
dance of the things which he possess
eth.
l6. And he spake a parable unto
them, saying, The ground of a certain
rich man brought forth plentifully.
II. And he thought within himself,
saying, What shall l do, because 1
have no room where to bestow my
fruits?
IS. And he said, This will l do: 1 will
pull down my barns and build greater;
and there will l bestow all my fruits
and my goods.
10. And 1 will say to my soul, Soul,
thon hast much goods laid up for many
years; take thine ease, eat, drink and
be merry.
20. But God said unto him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be re-
quired of thee; then whose shall those
things be, which thou hast provided
81. So is he that layeth up treasure
for himself, and is not rich toward
God.
This occurrence took place in Perea,
on the east side of Jordan, as Christ was
going up to Jerusalem. An immense
multitude had assembled to hear him,
and as he spake, with the strange
power that he alone possessed, there was
one listening, and conscious of the
power of Christ; but instead Of taking
the words of power and grace home to
his own heart, he was brooding over the
thought of utilizing Christ's wondrous
power in making his brother a portion,
or a larger portion of the paternal es-
tate. As he thought over this idea he
became so filed with it that. forgetful
Of the great theme of the speaker, and
forgetful of the proprieties Of the place,
he called out: master, speak to my
brother, that he divide the inheritance
with me-" The crowd was SO startled
by the words 50 inaptly spoken,
that, after Christ administers a
mild reproof, he takes the mans
thoughts as the subject OF a most prac-
teal parable, in which he teaches most
pointedly that the man who tolls for
riches without any reference to GODS
honor or glory, is SHINING most griev-
ously and will soon be called upon to
part with his worldly possessions, and
find that he has no other. How is it
with you, reader?
