i ,. ; vSl By WILLIAM CULBERTSON; 1. D. Ot The Moody BljMe Instituted Chicago. . : ( ( AS BELIEVERS tourist' we are responsible 'not .pnly 'ifor the way we earn mr living, bul, for the way we spend what we earnv Of course we must earn our living honestly, buti we spend foolishly that which we have.'; earned, we shall have dissipated much of the effect of our example in earning. Possessions are a trust from God, and we shall have to render an account of our stewardship. Just because- we have given a certain percentage of our income to Christian causes is no reason to think we shall meet with divine approbation with regard to our ttewardship. If we give a tithe, well and good, but what about, the other nine-tenths?. Is God pleased with our stewardship there? I. The Vanity of Wealth (Eccles. 5:10, 11). TN ANY study of wealth, it seems necessary to begin with an understanding of its limitations. We1 live in a world in which men frequently lay great importance on possessions, and indeed, there are many things which wealth can purchase. On the otfi?r hand, there are some things that money cannot buy. And further, we should recognize 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 disappointment. 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 pictura

Is drawn. If we have increased R'ealth, wa hava incrsasrl rsorrasV bility (v. 11). Chat fie; ic &3 sir.-' alterable as tha raxi lijil Lot we know. The oa17 advsntags l", as ihz Preacher expresses it, beliol:ling of goods with tLa eye nci a very great advantage after all. 11. The Proper Accumulation ol

Wealth (Prov. 16:8). IT IS just as. true as when Solomon wrote it, that "Better Is a little, with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice." ' This statement needs no argument, needs no proof. If we would have the honor of men, 3elf-respect, and the blessing of God, there is no alternative. III. The Improper Accumulation

of Wealth (James 5; 1-6). THE apostle James speaks of a condition that will obtain in the last days (v. 3). There are many evidences that the condition he describes has had altogether too many fulfillments in recent history. James excoriates the rich who have defrauded their employees in order that they might fare sumptuously and live riotously. These unscrupulous rich have taken advantage because they were not resisted (v. 6). Such wealth is corrupted. Notice once again that the resuit of their sin will rise to break . them. It Is a serious thing to ' trifle with sin, to eat the bread of iniquity. God has no patience with injustice in social relationships. Sooner or later judgment will come. IV. The Proper Use of Wealth (Prov. 11:24-27). T IBERALITY should chararter- ' ize the child of God. It is true that the Bible condemns the attitude of imprudence, yet it also condemns the attitude of the miser. To withhold more than is meet, also tends to want. How blessedly true it Is that there is a recompense to giving. Here we read that the one who waters shall himself be watered. Our Lord affirmed the same truth in Luke 6:38. To have it within our power to help, and fail to do so, is to bring j upon ourselves censure and con- ' demnation. Therefore, we should seek to perform the good (v. 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 injunctions in the New Testament regarding the proper use of wealth. For example,' the Christian has a duty toward his own family (I Tim. 5:8). He is enJoined to be sympathetic and generous in his giving to help others (II Cor. 8:8-15). Certainly he is to dispense his goods with the glory of

God in view (ct CoL 3:17), P.eleassd by Western Newspapar Tnica.

Thoughtful people are becoming increasingly aware that what is commonly called an education is not enough. Of .course we need the training that sharpens our wits and develops our skills. But real education must go deeper than that! Somehow, somewhere, we. must ind diiection to life, so that wit and skills' .will be employed not only for self but for the common good. " " i For some fortunate persons this emphasis is made m the Home'.'' Where this takes place, under Christian guidance, there is a lasting quality to the training that time can seldom efface. Sometimes the college or university offers this valued guidance and the student, as he sits before a Christian professor, learns more than books and lessons.; , He catches here some of the deeper overtones of life's true meaning.;! In a special way this extremely important instru'tion is imparted by! the Christian Church, the mother of education. Th' Jagh worship, study, 1 fellowship, activity we learn that noble purposes are infinitely superior,! to mere things, and through fellowship with God we are, made 'strong! ,foi every test that life can throw; against us.'
