Perils of Prosperity.

The power of mammon has not been
changed: it is still true that the love
of money is the root of all evil" Every
one possessing large income has to
night the influence of mammonisrn, that
tends to lead men away from depend
ing upon God.
Prosperity drew David away from
God, and the desire for the power Of
the kingdom led Absalom to start the
rebellion against Gods plan and pro-
gram to make Solomon his fathers heir.
Polygamy has always been the weak
ness of oriental dynasties, because the
barem of the wealthy ruler is the hot
bed of intrigue. David. Solomon and
Ahab were drawn away by this same
peril.
The worldly policy of Solomon and
Ahab married the germs of apostacy in
their efforts to extend the commerce OF
the nation and increase the power OF
the state by international matrimonial
alliances. Glory led to vice and cor
ruption The splendor of the vision OF
Solomon's glory fades when we count
the cost of his grand reign, which in
fiuenced the Queen of Sheba to con-
fess that the half had not been told.
Its outward splendor, purchased at the
cost of spiritual power and the bur-
dening of the people to carry out his
world policy. sowed the seeds of the di-
vision of the nation that had been
united by the statesmanship of David.
Rehoboam, the obstinate son of Solo
mon, through listening to false advis-
ers. who approved his despotic rule.
failed to receive the votes of Israel as
their king and played into the hands of
Jeroboam. who had been secretly seek
ing for months to foment a revolution.
The forces of discomfort and the age
long tribal jealousies were aroused to
object to the usurpation of their rights
by Rehoboam, the centralized form OF
government and the high cost of living
which oppressed the Israelites, whose
fertile fields furnished the foundations
of the national wealth.
The northern section failed in their
great prosperity because they failed to
be loyal to Jehovah. Luxury brought
on decay by undermining their moral
character. Our greatest danger today
is that in the midst of the temporal
prosperity enjoyed by the war and the
marvellous wealth given to us as a peo-
Pile by the God of nations, we are APT
TO forget that our first due is not to
make and obtain gold, but to stand ur
among the nations of the earth for the
principles of the Prince of Peace. that
alone can bring an end of conflict and
wars among the nations of the world
who are destroying the foundations OF
commercial supremacy that has been
the goal of the leaders in the presen,
titanic contest by their departure from
the Masters plans, which are frequent.
