WHEREIN MEN
ROB GOD
BY REV. CHARLES STEELE
Staff Writer on Religious Topics for
The Star

VIII a man rob God? At first
the thought seems foolish. Rob
God? Why. 'the chances for
escape from punishment are so
slight that any man attempting
d, wauid be counted like an ant
that he himself could crush
without any exertion.
Rob God? But that's precise
~ what every one OF US is do
ing. And it's worse than rob
bing man. For Gods rights are
supreme. The rights Of the In
finite are far above the rights
Of the finite-the rights OF the
Creator above the rights Of his
creatures.
How can man rob God2
What is there that belongs TO
Him that we appropriate TO our.
seivesg
You've heard OF men saying
that they are ~Felf-made"-they
"owe nothing 10 anybody" This
is so ridiculous that when a
2 man says 1t we put him down
AT once as poor "simp." Owe
nothing TO anybody?
Suppose such a man had start.
ed out in life on a lonely island.
naked. with no tools or shelter
OF any kind? There might have
been some justification for his
claim under such circumstances
but even then he would have
been indebted 10 his forefathers
for certain characteristics which
were handed down to him by
birth. and which would help
him make good.
But suppose he began TO cul
tivate the soil on his lonely
island-what would he do with
out sunlight and rain and wind
and the chemicals in the earth
and all the other things that
make things grow? What would
his puny little efforts amount
to even tho he had all the lat.
est and most wonderful machin-
cry and all kinds of appliances
that his forefathers have hand.
ed down 10 him?
WE rob God OF His glory.
We put ourselves I'm the place
OF God Himself when we ignore
Him completely or deny Him.
as many of us do. When we
insist that there is nothing
greater than man we insult
God.
We rob God when we decline
to give Him service-the serv.
ice that we could give Him by
serving. Gods creatures on earth.
. We rob God when we refuse
to give Him thanks for His
favors. Many of our prayers
are unanswered because we have
neglected to thank God for the.
prayers he has already answered.
We rob God when we fail TO
worship Him-the first great
claim of God upon man.
We rob God by withholding
the gifts that are due Him
"Ye are cursed with a curse.
for We have robbed me, even
this whole nation" God said
thru Stalachi.
The curse of want and misery
and ruin that fills the world 10.
day is due TO the fact that men
and nations have robbed God.
When the great statesmen of
America and other countries
awake to this fact. they'll be in
a fair way 10 find a remedy
and not until then.
From the German kaiser
down TO the meanest man in
the alley--we've robbed God.
We've placed ourselves above
Him, and we're paying the price.
But there's hope for us. Here's
what God has said: Return un.
TO me and | will return unto
you. Bring We all the
tithes into the storehouse.
