The man that lives for money only, is apt to find that money can not buy, after all. Duringthe long years of money grubbing the finer sensibilities decayed and for him there ia the vulgarity of wealth and not its culture, for the habit of money hunting dominated all other activities. Such men die worth so much money, but nothing more. America cannot continue being falsely moral in our national conduct to justify or cloak oilr material indulgcncies and imperialism, without a Divine . power ordering for us a day of reckoning. I am equally convinced that our political systems, and the filth and decay that m in them, will b destroyed in the next five years.

The state, and the bnoeficent father Uncle Sam, are doing exceedingly well. Just look west to the state of California whose hard hearted legislators have refused to vote further funds for relief and have turned out of office 451 welfare officials and thrown off the relief rolls more than 12,000 families, which represents nearly of 50,000 men, women and children against whom the doors of in the were tears There closed eyes re'ief are definitely cosed when workers they some of the most humanitarian their desks for the last time.

This Divine Man adored by Christendom wasa poor man. It is doubtful that he e ver possessed any money. We never read of him giving money. He had none to give. When he wanted a coin to illustrate his teachings, he had to borrow it. It appears that he did not even have $ purse, for when they crucified him the soldiers gambled for his clothes, but found no money on him which they could divide. Yet was he unhappy? Did poverty chill the arderof his soul, or poison the sweetness of his life? Here is the reply. (My peace 1 leave with you. Peaee, that was the wealth of Jesus. He was rich without money. C. V.

Nearly two thousand years have rolled away but the prayer has never been answered. By many, then and now, Jesus was taken for a fool. By others he was taken for a strange fellow who was decidedly on the ' lunatic fringe of the status q io, and soon put out of the way. B t his message is still knocking at the door of the hearts of men, and soon the prayer will be answered to the everlasting joy and glory of mankind 4 If you look about you will find that practically all in nature are in harmony with the laws of God. This things is beautiful and therefore there are beautiful flowers, fine trees, green verdure, fruits, grains and vegetables, all tending to make life good and sweet for man. But man is practically the only creation that is out of harmony with the laws of the Almighty 1 heiefore men are at war and all things .are in eommotion. Confusion is everywhere and destruction and murder are running rampant. What a commentary on man, who, according to the Psalmist was rated just a little below the angels.
