That night Death came, saying
"Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee.
Men made contracts then, as
nov; and grumbIcd and sought to
break their word when the con,
tracts turned out to their loss, He
had no patience with such; His
praise was for the sort Of man the
PsamiSt describes who Sweareth
to his own hurt, and changcth
not"-honoring his promise no
matter what the difficulty or cost
And the thing that He sought
to impress on men over and over
again is that "a mans life con
sistcth not in the abundance of
the things which he posscSscth, .
that underneath the tyranny of
Things is the Kingdom of Life.
Health is more precious than
Things, He taught. lie was ap
outdoor man, first Of all. Most of
His teaching was done, not in TEN,
pies, but along the shores of the
lake. He would not sleep indoors,
apparently, if He could slip away
to the mountain and lie down
under the stars.
Happiness is more important
than Things. There was laughter
where He went. Men forgot the
little Things in the wholesome joy
Of being. The criticisms that We're
made of Him We're not that He
was too somber, too troubled, too
impressed with His own import
ancc, but that He went to too
many dinners, and that His dis
cipIeS were happy instead of fast
ing and denouncing, as John the
Baptist had done.
And Kindness is more important
than Things. Going down to
Jerusalem to be crucifed, carry
ing the whole weight of the
worlds sin and tribulations on
His heart, together with His own
approaching trial, He was hailed
by a blind man on the road.
The disciples sought to hush the
man. The Master could not be
troubled. He was busy and full
of cares. But Jesus turned and,
calling the blind man to Him,
gave him back his sight.
Even in the moment of His
graveSt burden and anxiety He
was not too burdened nor too busy
10 be kind.
On these fundamentals true sue
cess is button health, on happi-
ness and kindness. Few learn the
lesson soon enough: but that
makes the lesson no less true.
And the third thing that He
left was just conception Of the
dignity and splendor Of HONEST
WORK. Does anyone doubt that
with His gifts and power over
men He could easily have become
governor or general or tinancier?
Yet He chose to be merely a
carpenter; and by that choice to
make all honest effort forever
glorifcd.
He might have had the rich and
powerful as His followers. He
chose fishermen instead. They
were fishermen when they came to
Him. they wore fishermen when
He left. His training and influence
did not make them bank presi
dents nor senators nor million
aires.
They We're fishermen still, but
what different fishermen! Fish
