But even the very hairs of your heao
are all numbered. Fear not therefore:
We are of more value than many
, SparroWs."
If each is true to his duty and con-
| fesses the Lord, before men, "hlni
shall the Son Of Man also confess be-
fore the angels of God" Also, when
they were prosecuted, Jesus told
them, and dragged into the syna-
eogues or before magistrates, they
were not to worry about what they
should say to defend themselves. The
Holy Ghost would teach them what
10 say.
At TINS point in Our Lords talk a
man asked Him to speak to his broth
er and tell him to divide an inherit
ance with the speaker. But Jesus re-
fused to consider such material
/ things. They were not important as
were the things of the spirit.
Beware Of cOVeteouSnesS," He told
them. For a mans life CONSISTENT not
in the abundance of the things which
| lie possecceth." And then He told
| them a story of a man who had
grown rich through his harveSts. He
tore down his old barns and built lar
! ger ones, and said to himself, Il will
say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much
goods laid up for many years; take
thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry.
But God said unto him, Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be re-
CURED Of thee: then whose shall those
| things be, which thou hast proVid-
eG?"
This does not mean that a man has
not the right to possess wealth, but
that when he makes it the most i'm
portant thing in his life and decides
10 live a merely material existence,
eating, drinking and making merry
il is wrong. And no man can tell
when his turn will come to go out OF
life. Better think of others and dc
all the good we can now, even if il
means some sacrifice. It will be bet
ter for us hereafter.
No Useless Worry.
We should not worry unduly
either, as to our future If we really
believe in God as our Father, surely
we will be provided for. Consider
the ravens they neither sow no.
reap nor have ,storehouses, but they
! are fed. The lovely flowers of the
field do not toll nor spin, but ever
Solomon in his glory was not dressed
as they are.
! eff then God so clothe the grass
which is today in the field, and to.
morrow is cast into the oven; how
much more will He clothe you, o W
of little faith?"
: But rather seek ye the kingdom
of God; and all these things shall b.
added unto YOU"
"A mans life consistent not in thu
,, abundance of the things which HI
possesseth." For unto WhomsoevC
much is given, of him shall be much
required"
Jesus then cautioned the disciple
to be always ready and waiting TO-
His return, and to be faithful ain;
, wise stewards, and He also spoke 0
His mission on earth, which, He said
was to bring fire on the earth"
Suppose we that l am come t
give peace on earth? l tell you, Nay
but rather division" Families would
: be divided. He warned them. Anc
has it not been SO all through the
ages since He was here among men,
The signs of the times were clear
Jesus told them, but they could no
see it. If cloud appeared in the Wes
they would expect a shower; anc
when the south wind blew they
would look for warm weather; how
was it, then, He asked them, tina
i they tepul see what was about
a R. Happen in the spiritual World?"
! "This, then, is the gist Of the teach
ing in this 18th chapter of ST. Luke
We must be faithful to our trust, do
ing each day our duty, with faith ir
the future through trust in God.
