TOMORROW'S SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
Wealth and the
Master
BY REV. EDWARD TABER

more difficult for him to be
anything other than a respect
able and conventional Jew.
In other words, Christ saw in
him great possibilities. He also
saw that he could not achieve
true greatness without the spur
Of necessity. His material pos
sessions possessed him. He was
not great enough to rise above
them.
The choice was one between
q safe career and a brilliant one;
between being duly respectable
and being q great apostle Of the
new religion. The young man
had the chance TO be one Of the
greatest Of the disciples Of the
Master. Jesus knew full well
that his social and financial
position, with the inevitable eon-
servatism that would accompany
| it. would preclude his being .
great force in molding the re.
ligious destiny Of mankind.
One Of the most charming Of
the narratives in Mark is given
in the account Of the Master as
He "sat over against the trea-
sury." He watched the wealthy
come with their large gifts.
Then came poor widow, who
cast in two mites, all that she
had.
The Savior called His dis
ciples, observing that the poor
widow had cast in more than
the others; for she gave all
that she had.
When Christ said, 4How hardly
shall they that have riches enter
into the kingdom Of God, He
astonished His disciples. Though
it is true that poverty is often
the breeder Of crime as well as
misery, it Is also true that
wealth often lulls men into IN
acceptance Of a life Of ease
that does not admit Of great
accomplishment.
