OOIIT BROOD TOO < MUCH. SAYS ElilS Many Foolish Persons Do Not Ac cept Christ Because of Petty Squabbles O'lie International Sunday School Ltes hoii For March 1 Is "Trusting In Rlclies and Trusting in God." Ijuke 12.13-34. (By William T. Ellis) We smile when we read of the uti bn lanced man who tries to enter the White. House to have some fancied wrong to himself redressed; or who attempts to get a hearing for his grievance from King George. Any body who broods too much over his own wrongs Is likely to lose his bal ance. Sonic bereaved parents spond all their time in grief, forgetting the nobler uses of sorrow. Persons who have lost property become soured with life. A man disappointed i'.t love so far loses his sense of relative values that he commits suicide. Such a ligure emerges in this story. The great Teacher was addressing crowds east of the Jordan. His theme was the highest that could en gnge mortal mind. Suddenly, a man from out of the multitude claimed his attention with, "Master, bid my brother divide the inheritance with me." All that Jesus had said about inheriting eternal life had gone clear over his head. Ho was interested only In the little Inheritance left by his fathor, wherein his brother had wronged him. A family squabblo meant more to him than all the af fairs of the kingdom of heaven. How human and up-to-date it all is! This man won't become a Chris tian because he does not like one of the officers of the church. The other is outside the fold because he thinks that the rich men inside are hpyo crltes. A neighborhood feud splits a congregation. As in tho case of this • aggrieved man of old, the ocean of divine truth is measured by a tin cup of personal Interests. A Religion of Rules This rather pathetic figure of the man who was thinking about prop erty when he should have been thinking about his soul: because his life was in the grip of goods be came tho occasion for a great enun ciation. Christ plainly declared that He was not a legal adjudicator, a maker or enforcer of regulations. He does not usurp the functions of the civil courts. Despite many current attempts so to interpret Hiin, Jesus is not a claw Christ. He does not take Bides in in dividual conflicts. He 1B not arrayed against the poor or against the rich. His is a religion of spirit, of prin ciples and of universal truth. All attempts to reduce Christianity to a set of rules have been failures. The Christ teaching would settle the man's property problem; but he him self must apply it. Else the next case, somewhat different in its facts, would draw wholly erroneous con elusions from this Judicial ruling Because Jesus enunciated principles that hold true everywhere and for ever, His gospel fits , the twentieth century as readily as the first, and America as naturally as Asia. The Koran, on the other hand, is full of minute prescriptions, which cannot bo either accepted or fulfilled In our modern urban civilization. The example of Jesus in this in stance is a good one for preachers and teachers. They should avoid eiding with parties or factions. The minister is not a meddler in temporal affairs, but he is the messenger of vital truth which has an immediate bearing upon every one of life's social problems. Thus, Christ's teaching, if accepted, can settle every labor dis pute; but Christ's ministers should not become partisans therein. A Father Confessor's Confession The incident served Jesus as a text for a discourse against covetousness, ■which is one of the sins of good peo ple. Francis Xavier, the famous missionary, reveals a striking tend ency from his long experience as a father confessor. He writes:—"l have had many people resort to me for confession. The confession «f every sin that I have ever known or heard of, and of sins so foul that I never dreamed of, has been poured into my ear; but not one person has ever confessed to me the sin of covet ousness." Bishop Wllmer says:— "One man anly has ever expressed to mo the fear that he should become covetous; and It is a suggestive fact that he was the most generous man that I had ever known." The New Testament does not inince words in dealing with covet ousness. It calls the sin idolatry. The love of money—which Paul calls "the root of all evil"—is a peril threatening all classes. This Is no occasion for railing at the rich. A person with but ten cents may be as covetous as one with ten million. Covetorsness is a state of mind. While it is a danger of the day, it was also a peril two thousand years ago. Covetousness is to be dreaded just as truly as malice and lust and drunkenness. "Thrift" and "pru dence" are the fair words under which covetousness oftenest hides; hut love of money is covetousness, and a sin. Having and Being Had Some people have money and money has some people. The mirror has not yet been invented which will reveal to a person what he would really amount to if stripped of his wealth and all that wealth brings.

To be merely a rich man, and nothing more, no longer establishes a person's position. Sometimes God laughs at man. This sort of spectacle arouses his amused contempt, and he exclaim*, grimly, "Thou foolish onet" Such is the point of the story which Jesus to'ld to Ulustrute the futility of wealth's reliance upon wealth. A rather blatant, puffed-up egotist, who, like millions since, thought his own merit had made the earth pro duce bountifully, strutted about com placently, spilling perpendicular pro nouns all over the landscape, and lay ing out a boastful scheme for Idle ness, luxury and merrimeht. He had got the better of the world; It wds at his feet; he would enjoy it at his ease. "Thou foolish one! This night is thy soul required of thee!" Thus the disconcerting verdict of God. He had gc.-)ds, which God asked not; but of soul, which God demanded.' he had less than little. If he had put his wealth into his soul, or into his fol lcwmen's souls, he might have had something of a showing to make when he appeared before God's judg ment Beat. Here we find the Scrip tural original of Kipling's "Tomlin son." Was It Franklin who said "Empty thy purse Into thy head?' A starved soul in an overfed body is a spectacle which all good angels view with mingled sorrow and con tempt. One of the Day's Big Problems That blistering word "fool," which seldom fell from the lips of the gentle Nazarene, sticks to the person whose projects arc all for getting rich and for safeguarding tho future by more money, instead of being "rich to ward God." Why is the rich man's son KO ofton a spoiled imitation of a man? Be cause all the parental projects for him have taken the form of spend lng money. Tho dreams of fathers for their sons are built on a founda tion of gold. That Is why J. Camp bell White, In his missionary ad dress, cries, "The rich man's son has not a fair chance nowadays." The community and the world face the loss of a host of youth who should be great assets. Instead, they are money-made, money-mad and money- .»o men of to-day must cease to fear poverty for our children. Pru dence and foresight have deteriorated Into covetousness and cowardice Let us give our sons character and efficiency— I Wen If the giving takes half the time we now spend In money-making—and we may trwt them anywhere In the future, and trust the future with them. As we look about we see how the loss cf many a man's fortune has really been the making of his eons and daugh ters. Shall we not benueath more life and less money to our children ? The old darkey slave who had eaten his master's poultry made a philoso phic answer when he said, "Massa, youse got less chicken, but youse got more nigger." The choice between goods and Go-1 Is going on forever. Jesus pointed out the peril of property; It has a tendency to blur or blind the spl-- Itual vision. Would that we might be consumed by such a hunger and thirst after God Himself as would de liver us from all lesser ambitions. G. H. Morrison tersely gives the rea son for this longing for God: "W« do not crave for God because He Is glorious. We do not crave for God because He Is sovereign. We are .lust homesick, that is the meaning of it. We crave for God because He Is jour home." Editor You must remember that poetry is a gift. The Poet lt is: you can't cell it nowadays.—The Idler.
