Pay More for Housing Here.
In the budget given for Wash
ington, it appears that District citi-
zens pay more for housing than do
citizens of any of the 80 other cities.
This, a BIS official said, is because
rents are especially high here for the
moderate, white-collar brackets. At
least one other city tops Washington
in every other budget category, in
Guiding food, but Washington is so
close to the top for every item that
the total bill here comes out greater
than in any other city.
BIS figures show that whereas
the family of four needed $3,111 last
June for the goods and services part
of the budget in Washington, a fam
lily of five needed $3.50. A family
of three needed $4,000, and a family
of two, $4,000.
The budget is neither minimum"
nor luxury, Mr.. Clague told the
congressional committee. It does
not represent an ideal but rather

THE apostle James speaks of q
4 condition that will obtain in the
last days ". 81. There r many
evidences that the condition he de-
scribes has had altogether toe
many fulfllments in recent history.
James excoriates the rich who
have defrauded their employees In
order that they might fare stump
tuously and live riotously. These I'M
scrupulous rich have taken advan-
tage because they were not resisted
". 81. Such wealth is corrupted.
Notice once again that the re-
suit Of their sin win rise to break
them. 1t Is a serious thing to
trife with sin, to eat the bread OF
iniquity. God has no patience with
injustice In social relationships.
Sooner or later judgment will
come.
Nv. The Proper Use Of Wealth
prov. 1~1:24-27).
IBERALITY should character
- lie the child of God. It is true
that the Bible condemns the atti-
tude Of imprudence, yet it also con-
dennis the attitude of the miser. To
withhold more than Is meet, also
tends to want.
How blessedly true 1t is that there
is a recompense to giving. Here we
read that the one who waters shall
himself be watered. Our Lord af-
firmed the same truth in Luke 6:38.
To have 1t within our power to
help, and fail to do so, Is to bring
upon ourselves censure and con-
demnation. Therefore, we should
seek to perform the good ". 27).
This passage concludes with the
statement that one who searches
after evil shall find that evil will
come to him. The man who sets his
heart to do wrong will not have to
wait long to find the occasion to do
that which is in his heart.
Many are the iniunctions In the
New Testament regarding the
proper use of wealth. For example,
the Christian has a duty toward his
own family Il Tim. 5:8). He is en-
joined to be sympathetic and gen.
erous in his giving to help others
III Cor. 8:8-l5). Certainly he is to
dispense his goods with the glory Of
God in view (cf. Col. BID.

/. The Vanity Of wealth tEceIes.

4. The Vanity Of Wealth (Eccles'
$50, 11).
IN ANY study of wealth, 1t seems
4 necessary to begin with an I'M
Outstanding of its limitations. We
live in a world In which men fire.
quently lay great Importance on
possessions, and indeed, there are
many things which wealth can pur.
chase. On the other hand, there are
some things that money cannot
buy. And further, we should recog-
nize that our possessions are not
eternal, that they may suddenly
fade away.
The passage here reminds us Of
the fact that wealth for wealth's
sake Is bound to be a disappoint-
ment. The man who loves silver
shall not be satisfied with silver,
any more than the man who loves
pleasure shall be satisfied with
pleasure. Augustine was right
when he said that man could be
satisfied with no less than God
himself.
Notice how accurately the picture
Is drawn. II we have increased
wealth, we have increased RESPONSE
bility ". 11). That fact is as un-
alterable as the most rigid law we
know. The only advantage is, as the
Preacher expresses it, the behold
ing of goods with the eye-not a
very great advantage after all.
ii. The Proper Accumulation Of
Wealth prov. 1879.
TT IS just as true as when Solo
1 mon wrote 1t, that Better is q
little, with righteousness, than
great revenues with injustice"
This statement needs no argu-
ment, needs no proof. If we would
have the honor of men, s~elf-respect,
and the blessing Of God, there Is no
alternative.

Of Wealth (James 5:1-6).
