So they took the money and did as they were tatieht. Matthew. 3cxvlll:lu. THE Inspired writer of this book, in telling about the supreme event in the life of Jesus Christ, con sidered it worth while to make men tion of a monetary transaction on the Prt of. or among, certain men. "iio they took the money." Did they? Yes. they did. As to that fact there was no denial. and ; never has there b been any doubt. . eli. who were they? Again there is nothing uncer tain. They were Roman soldiers who had been or dered to guard the v. i. - lit . 11 ucu where Jesus slept S- tnrough the cool, sweet night after the consuming heat of the greatest con flict that the world has ever known. marking the victo-Rev. Luther R. ry of seeming de-Dyolt. Pastor of feat and presaging" I r s t Congrega the triumph of all tional Church, truth. These soldiers had been on duty, as they would call it. to prevent Christ from coming forth from his borrowed tomb. They, with others, believed that the person in their custody was dead, but sti:i they guarded him that he might not arise from the dead, a thing which they had never known anyone else to do. How strange! No, not al together so. Coad Triumphs finally. View. Even as the ragged and stained breust of volcanic upheavals may send back the -echo of the voice which they never could have originated, so the sin-torn and stained souls of men may reverberate that which is utterly be yond their power to create. Then, in consternation, this er-ho of truth in sinful souls sometimes turns to terrible premonitions, which become more than dense superstition. These minions of the law watched, but they could not prevent Christ from carrying out his programme. The powers of evil are always limited. The clash between evil and good is inevit able, but the final outcome means the eternal triumph of good. Thus a ra tional optimism is the only mood of a true faith. In the collision between the impo tence of human power, given to evil, sin. wickedness and falsehood, and the omnipotence of divine power, given to good, righteousness, holiness and truth, there is never any variation In the divine ultimate on the part of God and all belonging to him.

FINDS SAVINGS ACCOUNT IS BETTER Dr. the desperate resort to another futile means. These enemies of Christ did not doubt the story told by the soldiers, but they gave themselves to the repre hensible efforts of making it innocuous. They bribed these men of low degree to tell a falsehood which few. if any( have ever seriously believed. Acts but Reveal Xatore. We are what we do. A man is him self false before he deliberately, or im pulsively, but quite intentionally, tells a falsehood, and thereby not only brands himself before the automatic judgment seat within him. but dis credits himself in the appreciation -of his fellow men. so that it becomes dif ficult for him to qualify again in the sacred court of truth. When Aristo tle was asked what a man could gain by telling a falsehood he replied. "Never to be credited when he speaks the truth." When we fall below the standard of manhood we relegate ourselves to a danger zone of life where, usually, we become pusillanimous. Being then des titute of that strength of mind and firmness of will necessary to moral courage, we deteriorate into under lings, with a self-imposed and igno minious price upon us. It is a black day for ourselves and others when the low grade of our every-day life displays the atrocious advertisement that we can be bought, if others will nut up the coin. However, the greatest cost is always paid by the man who sells himself, not his time, not his talents, not his physical, men tal and moral energy, not these things merely, but himself. When he puts his character, his rep utation, himself, in the market, then moral bankruptcy is sure to follow. Both Are Essential. Manhood and money are in the game of life. Manhood is necessary. So is money. When manhood is all that it should be. money is not an evil. Money is not the root of all evil. We often hear it said that poverty is not dis grace. There are times when it is not a disgrace. Virtuous poverty is worth more to the world than vicious wealth, but virtue is not always on the side of poverty and vice is not always with wealth. Emerson and Goldsmith were both right in what they said in relation to these matters. "Without a rich heart." declared Emerson, "wealth is an ugly beggar." Goldsmith said: "Nor is there on earth a more powerful advocate forA-ice than poverty." Real worth does, indeed, often rise from poverty, but the climbing is. as a rule, discouragingly difficult. ' The process, though by virtue animated, is slow. The sudden possession of wealth usually intoxicates the posses sessor. but poverty Is quite often a handicap. This mournful truth is everywhere con fess'd. " j Slow rises worth by poverty depress d. There are times when poverty is no disgrace. There are times when weaitn ia no disgrace. But, under i I " ''j Pastor for Military Training in Public Schools. Rev. A. I.. Hutchison Believes Stu dents Also Should Learn Principles That Have Led America to Fight Heretofore. MILITARISM art the public schools received the attention of Dr. A L. Hutchison, pastor of Piedmont Church, last Sunday, when he said: "Just now there is much agitation about militarism. Shall we have mili tary training in our schools? And why not? All history shows that the United States has never been nor desired to be a. military Nation. "When she has resorted to arms it has been in the maintenance of the right and in defense of the weak neighbor. This she ought to continue to be able to do. What would you think of a man who would not fight to the last drop of blood m the defense of Luther R. Dyott Says Manhood More Than Money but certain circumstances and conditions, there are other times when poverty is a wicked thing; not so much to those who are poor, not so much In th. nn- ditlons which have brought it about as m me pensons who create the condi tions. When the wealth of one man. or a few men, is accumulated through un fair and unlawful means and by vi cious methods, even if the laws made by man do not grip such persons, nev ertheless they must know unhappy life in a prison ouiit ior mean and with ering souls. The little money that such men give to worthy institutions or the few dol lars they dole out to the poor can never cure their own souls. Men who corner me marKet lor the commodities of life, and raise the prices on the necessities. who. while mukintr the rich richet- make the poor poorer, are menaces. While the laws of the land may not reach them, there is a law of life whose penalty they cannot escape. On the other hand, when a man car ries a ricn heart into the game of life, with a talent for making money, and accumulates by honest and legltmate means and methods, and ever demon strates that his manhood is more than his money, his very life stands for Diessings unto his fellow man. Proper Use of Wealth Blessing. Then it would be a calamity for him to fail when he might succeed. No one can succeed alone. Men who are really men, engaged in honest and hon orable pursuits, rise not upon others, but with others. They carry their Drotner men with them, bidding then share in the common blessings of pros perity. and never becoming unmindful ot their indebtness to God. They re late temporalities to everlasting values. Manhood is more than money, but manhood may be communicated through money in many ways, which are un selfish and practical. We are coming to a better understanding of the di vine idea in the possession and use of material things. After all. it seems that God never intended that we should despise the materialities with which we have to deal. In passing through a material world we need not close our eyes and run. fearing that we might become contaminated. It adds nothing to the imperishable content of spirituality for anyone to deny the existence of ma teriality. Old Philosophy Changed. Some of the ruling ideas of the phil osophers of other days are rendered obsolete by the more rational and practical concepts of persons of today who are trying to know and exempli fy God's idea of the relation of the spir itual to the material, and then show the place of the material in the plan of God and human lives for the ad vancement of God's kingdom on earth until the seventh angel in Heaven shall give the sound, and great voices there shall shout: "The kingdom of the world Is become the kingdom of our Lord, and hi.s Christ: and he shall reign forever and ever." Better material conditions may not. - Dr. Luther R. Dyott Will L "V rfl.-. J- 1C, ' jD4Ao his family and home? What would yon think of me if I should happen to see an Incendiary applying the torch to my neighbor's house, and say. Well. I don't believe in fighting, so I won't interfere"? What would you think If a big, husky, good-natured John Jones were to see a brute of a man pound ing a small lad to Insensibility, and because Jones is a man of peace he would not interfere? "Apply this to our Nation and it will work out just as reasonably. "Two conditions alone can bring the United States to a position where she can do the thing she ought to do In a great National or world crisis. "These conditions are absolute de pendence on Almighty God, or a disci plined army. "The melting pot of the public schools ought to produce a distinctive American patriotism. This wiil mean the teaching of all the traditions of our Nation, including her struggles, her wars and the principles which involved her in those wars. In this we shall always see that the United States has ever acted the part of the 'big brother' .o smaller and oppressed nation." of necessity Improve the moral life of human beings on earth, but an im provement of the moral and spiritual lives of men will surely bring to pass an Improvement in temporal affairs. Now, in doing the former we need not ignore the latter. It would be no convincing sign of sane and whole some religion for men of today to adopt the notion of some of the Greeks of other days that tub life is superior to town life. Wealth Not to Be Despised. We cannot, as men did ir the Middle Ages, look upon all wealth as criminal and contemptible.. Those who taught men. women and children to despise wealth did not by so doing enrich man hood. Neither should we swing to the other extreme and think that Henry VIII was right when, under his law. desti tution was to be punished as a crime, and wandering poverty found its rem edy by being stocked and scourged. The saner position Is between the extremes where we must know that material things have their place on the programme of the spiritual, and that spiritual and material prosperity may go hand in hand under the favor of God. God made the material, though he. i himself, is altogether spiritual In his nature. He still owns the earth and all that therein is. The sea is his. The star-Jewels and the heavens are his. He is wealth v' in both the Rniritui nA tM material. In giving himself to us he longs to share his possessions with us. It seems that he never intended that any person should be poor in that which constitutes essential and eternal wealth. Better Distribution Forecast. But did not his divine Son say, "Blessed are the poor in spirit?" Yes, he did. But he immediately added. "For their's is the kingdom of heaven." When men own the kingdom of heaven tey are no longer poor. We need not go quite as far as Hen ry George goes and say with him that "poverty is the open-mouthed hell which yawns beneath our civilization," but we may believe that a Christianized Christianity and a. new order of civ ilization for the whole wide world will not regard poverty as an Inevitable and abiding fact in the social and economic orders. There will yet be a more equal pos session of wealth. The miser heart will yet give place to the rich heart. These things may never come through such vain endeavors as some are now exerting. Disillusionment must be a forerunner of the better day. But come it must, for there is a fixed and abid ing desire for it. Unrest is its fever. Pain is its burglar alarm. 'Malcontent its insanity. But wait until unrest, fever, pain and malcontent shall giv place to man's good health, his sanity, his pow er, his poise. Then see what will come.

Unearned Riches Not Honest. Perspiration still bears some inti mate relation to inspiration. A man who accepts that which- he has not earned is not honest, provided, to be sure, he could have earned it. A man, or a collection of individuals, with holding from anyone that which by him has been earned, cannot claim hon esty and the approval of conscience. neitner can the penalty of such repre henstbleness be escaped. The deep heart of our total humanity pleads for release from all poverty as Its unspeakable birthright, bearing the signature of our loving and munifi cent God. There is no virtue in pov erty, as such. There is no virtue In wealth, as such. It Is not what we have, it is not what we have not, in this world's goods, but in what we are, or are not. which makes the bane or blessing. You ask. "Was not the world's Sav ior poor?" Yes. he was. but he was first rich. He became poor for a pur pose and that purpose meant that we all might become rich in realities which can never perish. When we have such riches as he had in mind for us, material wealth may come into our possession without hurting or harming us, and without our hurting or harming anyone else. Manhood, manhood, is the all-important thing among the rich and poor alike. When manhood is more than money, the possession of money is not a. dangerous thing. When man is less than manhood, then wealth and poverty are both dangerous. The fundamental and all-important question is, therefore, one of manhood. We need, more men who are larger the Y. M. C. A.

More who. while building their for tunes, will not do so at the expense of their manhood. More who. what ever else they may be doing, will never fail In producing an adequate manhood. Man's first business In this world Is to be a man. It requires a high order of manhood to do without money, and yet I mean more to humanity than money. It requires a high order of manhood to accumulate money, and not impoverish one's own soul, until one neglects one's soul, until one begins to think he has no soul, and need not be surprised to find others agreeing with him in this appalling conclusion. First, be a man. then If you accumu late wealth, well and good. The tyr anny of business will not make you a slave, so that life, itself, will mean all business and nothing more, save a few dashes at what you call pleasures, end ing in satiety rather than satisfac tion. "Be a Man" Is Plea. When more money makes you more selfish, that selfishness will dwarf your soul until business and mony eat your life, and somewhere, sometime, you will reach the point where you will know bitterness, disappointment and remorse at the end of the trail, and are constrained to cry out: The fire that on my bosom preys Is lone as some volcanic isle: No torch Is kindled at Its blaxe. A funeral pile! Be a man, first, and always, a man. America needs manhood more than money. The rapid - accumulation of wealth is not our peril so much as the failure to produce an adequate man hood. Money, minus manhood, is the cause of many of our troubles. Man hood plus money, will remedy many of our difficulties. It was money, minus manhood, that made it possible for the Roman sol diers, mentioned In our text, to become available to base bribery and then to He about the greatest event in the history of Jesus Christ and that of the human race. Money! Where did thev get it? From men who robbed the temple treasury that they might carry out their ne farious designs. Great God. what a tragedy! What men will do for money!
