Casey Stengel used twenty men and
Mike Kelley thirteen. The box score

Minneapolis led, 10 to 8, at the

The teachings Of Christ about
the possession of wealth have
been as much quoted as any
of His utterances. Economic
theorists have attempted to make
His DEGREES fit their particular
beliefs.
Many have declared that Jesus
was opposed to the possession
of wealth; that He regarded
riches as utterly incompatible
with Christianity.
There is no evidence to sup
port this view. Christ did teach
that wealth has q tendency to
remove men from the apprecia.
ton of spiritual values. He die
teach that the possession OF
great sums of money tends to
harden the soul.
There came to the Master .
young man having great wealth.
He ran to Him, and asked Him
what he should do to inherit
eternal life. Jesus emphasized
the need Of keeping the ten
commandments. The youth, with
a touch Of assurance, answered
he had kept them from his child
hood.
Jesus declared to the young
man there was one thing he
lacked. He told him to sell his
goods, give the proceeds to the
poor, and come and follow Him.
The young man was sad at that
saying, and went away.
It does not follow from this
incident that the Master would
urge all wealthy men TO sell
their possessions. The Great
Physician diagnosed each case
separately. He did not suggest
the same remedy for all.
Obviously He thought that this
young mans riches were q
hindrance to him. He realized,
with divine insight, that as the
young man grew older, his pos
sessions would make it more and
