By WILLIAM T. ELLIS 1 t When Disraeli was in difficulties 1 <tver the Sues Cartel, he said. “I’ll ’ turn to Moses.'' If modern states- 1 men and other public leaders would * even more directly “turn to Moses’’ ’ wo should scon be out of society's difficulties. For wise old Moses 1 spoke the words tha, fit the pros- 1 ent occasion He is as up-to-date £ as tomorrow's newspapers.

man. if ever the angels laugh through their tears it must be at the spectacle of these puffed-up per sonalities who because they are prosperous in mere money deem themselves a higher order of humanity. This state of mind is responsible for most of the world's contemporary economic misery. Denying any obligation to their fellowmen or to God Himself, such men have asserted witli arrogant brazennees, their divine right to most of the world's money. A mocking picture of them Moses painted; but it is true to life. Nobody need he a radical, but only a sensible Christian, to perceive the utter unfairness of a condition wherein five per cent of a country's population control more than ninety per cent of its wealth. And that five per cent of by no means comprehends the intelligence and nobility and usefulness of society. “Remember-” Moses tried to prevent this state of things which he foresaw. His injunction may lie summed up in a single phrase which lie used, "Beware lest thou forget Jehovah thy' God.” Remember God, and you will not so far forget yourself igs to ignore your brothei'. Let the Almighty have His rightful place in your life, and all else will Jail into orderly proportion. This is getting close to the core of tilings. Our times are eccentric out of center — because we have substituted trivial egotism and self interest for the great conception of a God-centered society, if we are rightly relaxed to Him, we shall lie in normal and smooth-running relation to all of lite. It is only because men have forgotten God that there is any “forgotten man in our midst. “Remember God.” is the rallying cry that will call the world back to peace a.'id prosperity and progress. All the world is in disorder simply because it ignores or rebels against the Sovereign Who embodies in Himself all necessary law and righteousness. Historians hav> said that the Wesley-White-field revival saved England from revolution. 1 am not able to conceive of any power short of a revival of God-conciousness that will bring to rights this world that is so sadly out of whack. We must yield to God His crown lights ere we can find the brother stai’.e of which we dream. Not Owners, But Trustees Once we get firmly fixed in our minds, and in our practices, the truth that God is supreme owner and ruler, and that we hold our possessions only as trustees for Him, our attitude toward all questions will be changed. For them

sessors of ajl that we have been] able to accumulate, but stewards, mere administrators, subject to a Higher authority, in such a condi- | tion we could sincerely sing the old hymn. “Naught that 1 have I count my own; I hold it for the Giver.” ; AH of the ills that plague us ' classism, greed, exploitation, poverty and bitterness — would dis- ' appear if the sublime Scriptural truth of stedardship could dominate human lives. Too often this theme is considered merely from the narrow viewpoint of the giving of money to good causes. That is only an incidental phase of the subject. Os course if a person has acquired the stewardship conception of life, he will share his wealth, and on a scale and in a spirit incomprohen-1 sible to the political demagogues who are blaring this idea over the radio. Money is a symbol of power, an expression of personality. And God’s steward will use money, as he uses better possessions, for the honor of His Lord and for the service of his fellow men. Better Than Socialism Socialism is literally "in the air" nowadays. But tar better than socialism, and more workable, is stewardship. When a man knows himself to be the servant of God, , responsible Xo Him for every manifestation of his individuality, he will be animated by a purpose and power which socialism gropes. A few minutes honest thinking makesi clear that no sort of socialism is | really workable with the kind of people who comprise human society .today. Wholly new impulses and sustenance are necessary to enable one to give up self-serving for manserving, self-engrossment for social engrossment. Only God-aware, Godfearing and God-loyal persons can ' do that. This master motive rises above i all man-made laws and economic schemes. It puts driving power into lofty living. The person who lives by the royal law of stewardship is more than a. trustee of Godgiven money. He knows himself to be a steward of truth, a steward of time; a steward of .thoughts and ideals; a steward of standards, personal, social and national: a steward of love; a steward of all of life’s expressions. He lives, not for himself alone, bitt as a trustworthy administrator of all oi the Divine gifts. Life for him has taken on its eternal meanings; for lie lives today by the royal law which is the law of that long tomorrow called heaven.

Rob not the poor, because he is poor; neither oppress the afflicted in the gate: for the Lord will plead Hieir cause, and spoil the soul of hose A hat spoiled them.—Proverbs 22; 22,23. « » » So I go on not knowing, 1 would not if 1 might; I'd rather walk with God in the dark Than walk alone in the light; I'd rather go with Him by faith Thii.ii walk alone by sight. —MacDonald.
