GOLD AND THE SOUL.
Dr. Naylor Finds Some Things of
More importance Than Wealth

DR.. Naylor Finds Some Things of
More Importance Than Wealth.
.'Gold or Gospel" was the subject OF a
very interesting AND instructive sermon
delivered last evening at Mckeudree
N. E. Church by the pastor, Rev. Henry
K. MAYOR.
The discourse was based on two passa ges-
of Scripture, Ecci. x:19, Money an
swereth all things" and Matthew x:26,
what profiteth man il he gainthe whole
world and lose his own soul"
In developing these lights the speaker
said that the first OF these propositions was
in various forms and phrases very often
heard and possibly lightly thought of,
while the second is solemn observation
which fills one with awe to meditateon and
the only wonder Is that it has not been the
means of saving more souls.
To the great ma tority money and whatit
will purchase Is all in all, and while in itself
there Is no evil In the Possession OF money.
still IL Is very wrong to let that one object
absorb the whole soul or course 1t was
Intended, he said that man should accumu-
late more than Is needed for his actual
necessities for tue moment for IL he did not,
civilization would stop and sta gna;ion
set in the world over. So great. however,
Is the desire for man to accumulate wealth
especially IN tnis country. that the people
across the Atlantic call us q nation in our
shirt sleeves But, he continued. IL We weigh
gold IN the balance, not the political scale.
but the measure OF equity and justice, and
not what IL can purchase, then we can see
exactly how IL stands when compared
with the purchasing power OF the Gospel.
DR.. Mayor then mentioned a long list
of what gold would purchase. aud against
this hched up the many things thlta Chris
tian holds most dear, but which could not
be purchased for the whole wealth of the
world
In conclusion DR.. Naylor read that in-
tercsting little poem of DR.. Mckays, COM
pairing the peasant and the king in which
IL is shown that in spite of the wealth Of
the king the Peasant was the happier.
