RICH N

Riches are not an evil within
themselves. There is no inherent
wickedness in money. 1t is the love
Of money that is the root Of all
kinds Of evil. When one sets his
heart on money, he then becomes a
Il to himself and to the world.
When he determines that his whole
mind shall be absorbed in the
thought Of being rich. then he be-
comes dishonest. When he trusts in
riches, then it becomes impossible
for him to enter the gates of heaven.
Jesus Christ never condemned
riches. He condemned the worship
of riches. He condemned covetous-
ness; He condemned the misuse OF
riches. He denounced the dishonest
man, the unfaithful steward. the
man who exploited his own talents
to rob God. 1t is just as true today
as 1t was when Christ uttered il, 1T
is easier for a camel to 90 through
the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of heav-
en-" That means, it is easter for
the impossible to take place thar it
is for a man who trusts in riches,
who makes riches his kingdom. who
makes wealth his god, to enter the
Kingdom of heaven.
CHRIST really taught that heaven
was a condition In which a Chris
tian might find himself. and in
which he might faithfully serve God
and attain the highest rank in Chris
tian character Christ regarded
riches as a stewardship. A mans
wealth must be administered. not
for his own ease and pleasure. nor
for any selfish end. but for the glory
of God and the benefit Of humanity.
In the teachings Of Christ. every
talent is to he used in the Masters
service. When Christ said. 'Tav
not mp for yourselves treasures hn
earth" He put the emphasis ~
yourselves Lay not up for B'ar-
selres. but lay up as an honest. in
duz trious steward treasures for Fad
and for Gods cduse
