The Times Daily Short Story

Williamson, I'm not going to
steal. Why should 1 steal from
you when it's so much easier to
take? I'm going to get control of
your diamond mine, and you're
going to pay me for taking it,"
That was the declaration of
war. The Ruyter mine was the
only Dutch mining company, and
was owned by some two thousand
stockholders, mostly scattered
throughout the country. OF the
1000 shares, 1900 at least were
held by obscure persons who were
never heard of, never voted, ana
would never sell their holdings.
OF the 500 that came on the mar
ket Van Claim controlled nearly
one-half; the balance were traded
in around f12O. Van Claim kept
his brokers constantly on the
alert, and it was impossible for
Williamson to outbid him.
There remained three months
before the annual meeting. Nath-
anson had left for parts unknown.
That he was not inactive, how
ever, was seen when the shares
suddenly leaped up from 12O to
1876. The next day they opened
at lao. BY nightfall they had

groaned to the vice president.

And before the astonished eyes
of the board he tumbled proxies
out of his bullying pockets; prox-

INSANE

Sometimes the United States is referred to as a
Christian nation
And sometimes thing occurs which enables us
to see just what sort of Christianity we have to
prove the claim wthal.
Such thing occurred the other day in New
York City. A workngman had saved up nearly
$500. He appeared on the street and began giving
this money away To any who wanted he gave
At once people in authority were charged with
the duty of classifying this man. Why did he give
money away? He was not millionaire. He needed
and had actually earned this money. He seemed to
be giving it to others because he wanted them to
have it.
1t gave him more pleasure to give something he
himself actually could use than to use it himself.
Christian community, so-caled, never thought
of classifying him Christian.
people who were familiar with the letter of
the Golden Rule, thought that this man
might have thought, II have $500. [ cannot keep
it while others want / should not desire others to
keep $500 while | wanted. Therefore, according to
the command Whatsoever We would that men
should do to you, do we even to them,' cannot
keep $500 while others are in want. So will give
it away"
So they took this incomprehensible man away
and held an inquest to see what sort of insanity he
was afflicted with!
Yet, in Jesus s day those Christians who learned
directly of Him did the very thing this was
called crazy for doing They sold all they had and
gave to the poor.
They were communists, "having all things in
common"
And another crazy thing existed-we told
that "none wanted.''
They were poor, but they felt no poverty
Neither would any feel poverty today if all
men would do wisely what this New York working
man did unwsey. There is enough for us all, if
the Golden Rule were kept
Enough for all, were not real Christians so far
from our souls as to seem insanity.
Jesus would be adjudged crazy in any American
community.
