Thou Shalt Not Covet.

Some one has said that covetousness
is the supreme sin of today. This is
no new truth, for covetousness has al.
ways been the supreme sin of every
age. Through the words of the proph.
cts in Old Testament times, God put
the responsibility for rebuking this sin
on his servants who taught the people
and who led them in spiritual things.
In Isaiah's time, God said: For the
iniquities of his covetousness I smote
him." Paul placed covetousness in
the same category as idolatry. The
great sOul-destroying sins recorded
In the Word of God all had their root
In covetousness. Even Jesus warned
His hearers of Its seductive influences
when He said: Take h< ed and be
ware Of covetousness."
