Great Wealth is a Burden
BY LEO.

Some men are born wealthy
some acquire wealth by industr!
and economy, and some graI
wealth unjustly, but whether in
herited, acquired, or grabbed, i
often proves burdensome to thu
possessor; always a burden tt
the person not knowing how tC
use wealth wisely. Lord Bacor
calls riches 'the baggage of vir.
tue," meaning by that that rich
es to a virtuous man is what bag.
gage is to an army.
We use the term wealth in its
secondary meaning, to-wit: Opu-
lence, riches, great possessions OF
worldly goods. Primarily, wealth
meant the welfare of man or ma
ton. This is the meaning of St.
Paul in the exhortation, Let no
man seek his own; but every man
another's wealth." that is, an
others good or welfare. Often
times men do seek another's
wealth, that is, another's riches,
and get it, especially the poor
counts and dukes who come to
America to marry rich heiresses.
1t is thriving industry whereby
the wealth of our country is
transferred to other lands.
Nearly all persons of great
wealth have a burden to carry
inimical to comfortable living. 1t
creates so many artificial wants,
that is, wants not necessary to
righteous and enjoyable living, so
that the possessor is in a con-
slant strain to provide for the
artificial needs.
Socrates despised riches and
preferred humble poverty know
ing we'll that real human welfare
is not enhanced by superAuity of
filthy lucre. And a greater than
Socrates has said, "A mans life
consisteth not in the abundance
which a man hath - and this he
illustrates in the parable of the
rich fool whose lands produced
abundantly so that he knew not
what to do with his wealth,
That is the real point, he knew
not what to do with his surplus.
When men know how to use mil
lions for their own welfare and
for the good of their fellow -crea-
lures their wealth is a blessing
to themselves as we'll as to 9TH
ers; but money boarded just for
the sake of having it, the having
of it is simply a useless burden.
Last week a woman in Philadel-
phia died of starvation, and yet
carried on her body an ample
sum of money enough to meet all
rational wants. A hermit living
in two small rooms not far from
the city of New York died last
week in supposed great poverty,
and yet. after his death, many
thousands of dollars were found
hidden here and there on his
premises. Such cases show that
the 'mammon of unrighteous-
ness" is blindly worshiped to the
injury of the devotee of mere
wealth.
One of the strangest freaks Of
human life is the wild desire to
acquire wealth just for the mere
possession of it, it is just as if a
man heaped up a pile Of brick on
his premises when not intending
to build or sell-just simply to
look at and have.
During the early ages of chris
endom there was a rage for grim
poverty. Men would stand on
pedestals or hide in filthy caves,

their new club rooms at No Ala Main

committee on labor. This committee was
appointed to try to induce the mine opera

the suffering that might come from d
long closing down of the mines. Their
report was very interesting.
Another committee to investigate the

that our people are fairly treated by the

for his coal than is given to Salt Lake
