JESUS AND RIGHT USE OF PROPERTY LESSON TEXT Exodus 20:15; Provbs 30:7-9: Matthew 5:25-33. - V MEMORY SELECTION But lay up yourselves treasures in heaven. here neither moth nor. ruat doth corupt,, and where thieves do not break rough nor steal: for where your trease is. there will vour heart be also Jatt. 6:20-21).

And much the thinking of all America will the right division , of the fruits investment of time and money. roperty rights are fundamental, od's word teaches us the proper titude toward our own rights and e rights of others; namely, honty, yes, just plain old-fashioned bnssty. . In such a time, the believer in hrist needs to be doubly vigilant st he accommodate his own standrds of honesty to those of the world. Honest In Purpose (Exod. 20: 15). We ' cannot tolerate anything in ord or deed that can be regarded stealing what belongs to another. tie very commandment against ealing implies that men have I a ' ght to that which they have made, rned or saved. If no one had any property rights ere could be no stealing. Some of lr modern political and social isms ny such rights, but their reasong is clearly not biblical or Chrisan. v . ' . "Thou shalt not steal," forbids evkind of theft, and this includes ore than, robbery or ordinary ealing (see Lev. 19:11-13). It relates to: every kind of false aling with another, such as opession or, the withholding of just ages'. That, too, is stealing in od's sight. Perhaps, we ought to be more eciflc and apply the truth. to our Mm day. Stealing includes such Ings as loafing on one's job, borwing money from the cash drawtaking goods from the stock with hich one is working, stealing an-1 her man's sermon and preaching as one's own, lifting material out another man's book without credcontracting debts which one can :ver pay, using false weights and easures, adulterating food or othmaterial, ."watering", milk for le, selling worthless stock, rlodg- : taxes or lying to the Ux at sor, or using a slug instead of lickel in the telephone to cscapa Jper. payment. , . )ne might add gambling (which aking another man's property by U or by chance), making an uplarge, profit on the labor of bther, making money out of the rows and failures of others, etc. be honest means to be fair, and t has broad implications. . I, Humble in Practice (Prov. 30: may sound a little, odd to hear man . pray that he. should bs de? j red from prosperity. To. ask, to 1 kept from poverty is certainly ! m?ke wise request, but to ba ivered from riches, why that's tainly not sensible. So reasons world, but as usual, it is entirewrong. Ixperience has demonstrated the man who has an. abundance good things usually becomes selfsfied. assuming that he deserves credit for his affluence, he forGod, and what had been a good useful life is soon destroyed. )n the other hand, it is true that reme poverty tends to break vn a man's morale. Watching his Inily starve is not conducive to esty if a man can lay his hands something to save . them. ether it be his or not. We do not tify stealing at any time, but we well understand that starvation turn the mind of a normal man abnormal channels.. . .. n. Heavenly in Principle (Matt 3-28). he Bible is concerned almost enly with life on this earth. It tells very little about heaven except to go there. But (and here is important point for us just now) does give us laws from heaven life on earth.

It was twilight yes, the sudden twilight of autumn. The streets and cars were crowded with people hurrying home from work in the shops and factories. The newsboys were on the streets calling out their papers. Everyone was hurrying some place, except a young girl who stood on a corner looking one way and another, as if waiting for someone. She was painted yes, her lips, eyebrows, and cheeks. Her eyes were sunken, but sparkled.' She was dressed ungodly. It had been drizzling all day and as evening came the rain increased and the smoke lowered o'er the city. The girl looked at the town clock. It was. six-thirty, and Bill was to be here in fifteen minutes. She could hardly wait till he came, for she was goLig to have a "swell" night. First, they were going te a cafe for dinner, then to see that play at the theater, and from there to the night club. She stood on one foot and then on the other, watching people go into a building a short distance away. She wondered what was going ,3i, but if she left the corner she would miss Bill. Just then she caught a strain of music what was it? She had heard it before. She started to walk closer and soon found herself at thei open dcor gazing at a large sign, "Jesus Saves. Where Spend Eternity?" She stood and listened to the music.

"Though like a wanderer. The sun gone down; Darkness be over me, my rest a stone. Yet in my dreams I'd be, Nearer my God to Thee, nearer to Thee." As a person in a dream, she walked in at the open door and sat on o.ie end of the last seat. The audience started to sing again. "Come, every scul by sin oppressed, There's mercy in the Lord, And He will surely give you rest, By trusting in His Word." As they finLhed the last verse, a young man arose from the platform and came forward with a Bible in his hand. Opening it, he read: "Though- your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow." He closed the Bcok, offered a word of prayer, then began to sneak. On and on he talked, telHirr of the love of Jesus and nis willingness to forgive and save shiers. "Tonight," he said, "I know there is a sinner that is sick of the world, a sinner that needs the help of a true friend. Tonight there is someone who is on the edge of hell and is about to topple in. Tonight some heart is blistered with the fiery fingerprints of the devil. But Jesu? is just waiting to heal ycur heart and leave His fingerprints instead. Oh, the Lord is willing to save you, sinner friend. Can't you just hear Him knocking at your heart's door? Can't you see Him with His outstretched arms pleading for you to come? Oh, child of the world, won't you come to Hini tonight? Come before it i3 too late. All heaven Is waiting for you calling you. What can you do without Jesus?" - . 1

The tempter was close at the side of the girl when they started to sing "Jesus lover of my soul. Let me to Thy bostm fly." Spmething caught hold of the girl's heart. She had heard that song many times when a child. But oh, she was too much of a sinnsr; the Lord would not save her. Anyway, she wculd much rather hive her friends, her cigarettes, dances, and drink but "Come, sinner friend, the Lord alone can save your sou!; He alons can take you to mother ever there." She drepped her hsad, the tears started to fa!!, and as they continued singing "Other refuge l'lvs I no;ie, Hang my helpless soul on Thee," she ran to the altar and, kneeling, startei to pray. The audience co:itiiu-?d singing the songs that she had heard her mother sing. In a moment her heart's door opened, the love of Jesus flooded in, and she started to sing, "Tell Mother Til be there." Shortly afler, at the other end of the altar, a male voice started, "I'm saved, saved," and who could it be but Bill? He had waited . on th street for the girl and was led here the same aj she had been. When she went weeping to the altar, he had followed. They left the building and went out into the night with no onger a desire for worldly attraction, but rejoicing, leaning on the arm of their almighty Friend.
