In truth. money has him. He Is In
the death clutch Of material possess
sions. His spirit as shriveled up.
His passing would cause less Of
ripple in the community that that
of the village blacksmith. He Is
scarecrow commentary upon the
proverb. THE liberal soul shall be
made fat; with it's converse corol-
larry that the sordid soul shall be
made thin. I think I am sorrier for
this poor miser than for any other
man known to me. He has missed
the bus Of real life.
OF course, there are many poor
men. who have never had this mans
success in amassing riches, who are
just as miserably devoted to money
as he is. 1t Is not the size Of a
persons purse that counts. but his
use of it, and his attitude toward it.
On the other hand. there are
countless wealthy men who are good
stewards of their possessions. and
share and give with lavish hand,
and with a noble sense of their per-
sonal responsibility. All of us can
name men of wealth who are gen.
erous. public-spirited and wholly
animated by the spirit of the Scrip
ture which declares that Ito whom
much is given, Of him shall be much
required"
Talking Twaddle About Money.
With unconscious hypocrisy. pious
persons often affect to despise
money. They talk twaddle about it.
assuming poverty to be noble state
and prosperity sign of moral deca-
dence. A moments honest thinking
reveals the unreality Of this attitude
Money is one of life's necessities. 1t
may be beautiful thing or an ugly
thing. according to the use that is
made of 1t. Money is a symbol: 1t
represents food and raiment and
shelter and education and proper
pleasure and unselfish service.
We talk of dirty dollars" when
We really mean dirty hands. With
greater truth We could talk OF
beautiful dollars" which support
families; create comfortable homes:
spell opportunity for youth: provide
for the sick and needy and main
tain all the benef1cent works OF
civilization.
So long as money is legitimately
used, it is one of the best tools of
men. But when money is loved for
itself; when Is ceases to be a serv-
ant, and becomes a master. then 1t
is an evil thing. The love of money
is a root of all evil" says Scripture.
The power OF avarice to mar a life
is one of the human tragedies.
These perils of wealth to the
human soul have been the theme
of all the philosophers, back to most
ancient times. The sages of the
ages are one in saying that the
vanity OF wealth. the love Of money.
impairs the finer aspects of the
human spirit. Man was meant to
be more than money bag. He is
measured. by man and by God. &C
cording to the fairness of his soul.
Rule of gold can never take the
place of the Golden Rule. AS our
text has it:
He that trusteth in his riches shall
fall;
But the righteous shall flourish as
the green leaf"
Only God-rule can save us from
gold-rule. What DR.. Chalmers
called the expulsive power Of a
new affection" may transform
materialism into spirituality.

Thus the love of money corroded
the souls of men who should have
been patriots and leaders.
This same deadly spirit of covet-
BUSINESS has characterized the prog
ress Of revolutionized Russia and
Germany. While the common peo-
pie bear unusual burdens of poverty,
the high party leaders live in
luxury outrivaling that of the aristo-
Gratis of the old era.
In a word, one ultimate acid test
by which men should stand or fall
is the money test. A persons atti-
tude toward money determines his
real attitude toward his fellow men,
and toward life in general, and to-
ward God.
Grim current events support the
moralistS in counseling a revised
attitude toward wealth. Each days

Appeal TO Rectors

The Right Rev. James E.

rectors in this diocese TO recog-
nize In their services tomorrow
the needs Of Great Britain by
Offering two special prayers.
He also called attention for a
national corporate communion.
designated as Loyalty Sunday
on October s.
The prayers are as follows:
For the People Of Great Britain.
Most merciful and compass
sionate God and Father OF all
men, We commend to Thy loving
care and protection the peoples
Of Great Britain. In this hour
of their need do Thou strengthen
and sustain them. Guard and
save them from the violence OF
their enemies. Give to them
the increase Of faith, courage and
devotion TO Thee. Ease their
burdens. heal their wounds. calm
their fears. give comfort and
peace to those who are afflicted.
and preserve to future genera
tons the gifts and virtues OF the
British Empire.
This We humbly ask, in the
name OF our Lord and Saviour,
Jesus Christ. Amen.
For Women and Children.
Dear Heavenly Father. We pray
Thee to have in Thy tender
keeping and protection the inno-
cent and helpless Of all nations.
Especially do We pray that Thy
love may encompass and safe
guard women and little children.
Guard their homes and firesides.
speedily remove the perils that
threaten them, and hasten the
day OF their emancipation and
larger happiness.
We offer this our petition in
he name OF Him who ministered
70 the helpless, Thy Son our
Saviour Jesus Christ Amen.

being impoverished. The specter of
famine looms large on the eastern
horizon. Where appropriation OF
property is not at work, conlscatory
taxation is. The HAYES are rapidly
becoming the have nots.'
All Of this is at the moment SIM
ply incredible to us of North Amer
lea. That the world war. or the rev.
olution which will probably follow
il, may strip these prosperous peo-
pies Of their possessions is beyond
our power to visualize Yet I saw
it happen in Eastern Europe and
Asia. And nv counsel to friends
has been to forsee manner Of life
for themselves freed from depend
ence upon money: life of simplic-
itv: on subsistence basis. and orr
entated toward helpfulness in what
ever emergencies arise I have seen
men and women rise to the heights
of their possibilities when deprived
Of all their earthly goods. Drasti-
cally. they were emancipated from
the domination of money, and their
latent spiritual powers had oppor-
tunitv for expression. Surely. it is
simple prudence. while there is vet
time. to break the shackles of money
from our spirits.
Who Reigns'
Changes in rulers and forms Of
government have been rapid during
recent months; but greater and
more fundamental change is that
which millions have had to face in
the sovereignty over their own spir-
its. Who rules my life? To what
power do I give allegiance? Am I
a single-souled man. dedicated to
the will of God; or am I the slave
of mammon and of the status quo?
Would I be more of man without
my present circumstances, or less?
Is poverty more terrible to me than
alienation from my Heavenly Fa-
ther? Do choose. in the very depths
of my being. to belong to God or
mammon? This issue OF lifes SUI
preme loyalty determines a man s
measure and his fate
He has money" is the common
Characterization Of rich man
known to me. But that is incorrect.
