OF God and Instantly obeyel. la IA
moment there was loud report and

furnace from au old rusty gun barrel
that was In the mass Of scrap. The bull
let passed In direct limo OF where he
had been standing aud into board that
stood in the line of its progress.
He had to obey the voice, and God
saved him because he worked with and
obediently TO GId. This experience he

Rev. d, II. Corkran, pastor, preached
Sunday forenoon on Rev. III: IS: C. .''l
counsel thee 10 buy OF me gold tried II
the fire that thou inayest be rich" Thi
Is an age of mammon. The desire to bt
rich 10 the craze OF the day. True richie
cannot be found in the gold aud silver o
the land, but In the spiritual thinPs o
God. The spiritual riches are tried by
the supreme test. The basis OF riches Il
in the value of the thing possessed. Tn
basis OF value lies IN three things;
utility; 2, durability; 3. the amount o
labor required to obtain II. MEASURED
by this, spiritual things are of inilnitel,
more value than material things. Pos
session Ia not simply having legal rlgh
to ali object. lie that can maxi
an object contribute TO his spiritual goot
is possessor of that object. In thi
sense the righteous possess all things.
