Perlls Of Riches.

H.. The Masters Exhortation, w
1881. AS a great teacher and philos.
opher Jesus took this occasion to point
out the perils Of riches. Nearly every
man is willing to run the risk. We
have, however, but to look about us
to see illustration after illustration Of
the truth of these words. How hard
ly"-increased wealth, decreased piety.
"How hardly'-men seek to tone down
this picture, but have no right so to
do. The only safety is found in the
words of verse q, with God all things
are possible" The most severe test
possible to be given to a mans relig-
ious experience is for him to be pros
pered in wealth or position. The rich
young ruler is an evidence of the fact
that such a goddess life is a restless
one.
Notwithstanding his possessions, his
refinement, the privileges of his posi-
ton and life SO clearly lived as to
leave NO vulgar moral scar, yet he ex-
claims: What shall I do that I may
inherit eternal life?" 1t was easier
for the proverbial camel to have en-
needles eye as you prefer than for
this young man to yield to God the
control of his life. Every life is under
control. A goddess life is a self-con-
trolled life AS men came to Jesus he
saw perfectly their individual needs i;
their peculiar malady.
The disciples were amazed at the
masters words and thought If a rich
man cannot be saved there Is hope
for none. Such is not the meaning
This is revealed in the reply to Peters
question. Men are saved irrespective
of position or of possessions for God
loves them all. Those who turn the
control Of their lives over to his keep.
ing, those who, no matter what their
condition or position In life, follow
him. leaving all, or bringing all as the
case may be, will have their reward
here in this life and In the world to
come, eternal life.
