BY Rev. Leander Turney.

Preachers are accused of telling the
poor to be contented in their hard for
tune while preaching pleasant things to
the rich. This pulpit, at least, is not
guilty. Wealth as an end ought never
to be sought, and even as a means it is
easy to make too much of it. But this
teaching is for the rich as well as the
poor; of the two classes the rich need it
far more than the Even Chris
tians have come very Wv to under
stand and believe the of Jesus
in regard to wealth.
When He came the nations were lit
orally living for the seeking of things,
things, things. They lived material lives,
and their chief objects of pursuit were
material power, beauty, pleasure and
wealth. Those who saw the error of
this went to the opposite extreme of
accounting things as of no value.
The originality and the truth of Jesus
are shown in his avoidance of both err
rors under conditions in which no other
man avoided them. He did not teach
that things are of no account, but He put
things in their rightful place, which is a
subordinate one.
He rebuked living for material things
clearly and Enthusiastically. And no age of
the world has needed the rebukc more
than this age in which we live. When
we give rich men honor they do not de-
serve and pass by the really honorable
poor, when we teach that millionaire
is successful, and that man who has
done some great service for humanity but
died poor was not successful. we surely
need to learn of Christ on this subject
He taught that the spiritual is the SUI
preme thing in life and that the temporal
is relatively unimportant. Character is
{ ia eomparably more important than rep.
| utation or possessions. They change and
! pass away, but character endures. Faith,
hope and love are better than the best
gifts. and they abide. Moreover char
acter can do something which wealth
cannot dot can make a man happy.
True wealth, therefore is in a MANN
the qualities of manhood he ha3-and
never in what he owns.

CHANGE is INEVITABLE.
BY Rev. l.. A. CranfaIT.

Does Paul contradict himself when he
condemns conformity to the world? In
his first letter to the Corinthians he de-
clares that he becomes all things to all
men. He conforms to his enviro lment
in al hat has no moral signiicai e. In
dress and speech and social usage he is
not unlike his fellows But in all that
pertains to the moral and religious realm
he is peculiar. In this realm he ref ses
to conform to the spirit of his age, ut
acts as citizen of the kingdom Of God.
People imagine that there is some spe-
cial virtue in dressing in a peculiar ;arb,
using strange speech, refusing to live as
their fellows live. 1t is a shallow view
of the religious life which sees it to con
sist in externals. Jesus lived as those
of his time lived, so far as social customs
were concerned. He never tried to make
himself noticeable by eccentricities of
conduct. He was separated from his
fellow men only in the spirit and pur-
pose of his life.
Change is inevitable 1t marks all ma
ture and character does not escape it..
We cannot remain in a fixed moral con
dition, for each day brings growth or de-
cay. BY what shall this inevitable change
be governed? If by the influences about
us then we shall never make any great
progress in nobility and likeness to
Christ. About us is selfshness and folly
and sin Lofty ideals in the heart con
tinuing visions of the best that life
knows, a purpose and will dominated by
the law of God, only by these shall we
go on from strength to strength. grow
ing in grace.

POPULAR MISS GR0EscHEL.
Presents Received at Her Recent
Wedding Would Fill Van.

The popularity of Miss Katie Groes-
chel, who was one of the brides in the
local June wedding epidemic of Wednes-
day evening, was amply demonstrated By
the number and quality of the wedding
presents she received. Miss Groeschel
married Mr.. Charles j. Eten. The
presents would fill a big furniture van.
They were mainly of silver and china
Some of them were of exquisite design
and costly Some were costly pieces of
furniture and bric-a-brac, and some the
nedlework and other products of artist
cally inclined feminine chums. Many Of
the presents came from admirers out
side of the circle of relatives and nc
quaintances. Mr.. Edward Groeschel.
her father, found himself unable to ex-
press in words his appreciation of the
honors heaped upon his daughter by the
more than two hundred guests who filled
his well known assembly rooms at Oas
land and Beacon avenues, on the occa-
sion of the reception which followed the
wedding ceremony. Many of these don
ors were members of some of the best
know nlodges and societies of the city,
who make the resort their headquarters.

Ward Democratic Club.

TRUST WINS.
Swift & Company Receive
Permission to Use Their
Kearny Slaughter
House.

A big victory has been scored by the
Beef Trust over the people of Kearny
Township, who protested against the
erection of slaughter house on the
meadows. The firm of Swift & Com
pany of Chicago, after being driven from
New York some time ago, secured a
tract of land on the meadows near
Kearny and proceeded to put up large
slaughter house The building is
335xS6.
When the people of Kearny got wind
of the scheme on foot they sent petition
to the Board of Health protesting against
the erection of the building. This was
about two months ago. The Board of
Health considered the matter for several
wees and on June IL announced that the
slaughter house would not injure the
health of the people, and accordingly
issued a permit for the killing of cattle
and sheep.
Work on the building is about COM
pleted. The structure is FIVE stories high
with brick foundation. The cost is
1926. 900, and Mr.. p. J. Kenny the con-
tractor. Mr.. Geisler is the health com
missioner. Swift & Co. pay $500 yearly
for the permit.
