MANHOOD AND MONET.
Sermon by Dr. Luther R. Dyott in the First
Congregational Church.
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. .

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.
After defeat had felt the crushing
impact of victory, the soldiers reported

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

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.

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.
The rich heart shall take the place of
the miser heart, while honesty, indus

who accepts that which- he has not

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

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.

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

available to base bribery and then to

Great God. what a tragedy! What

We are going to tell others that Christ
has triumphed." They would have
been among the greatest preachers in
the world.
Let us be men men who are not for
sale. Men. with money, or men. with
out money with money to prove more
than all our money, and to be glad that
we have the opportunity to enter the
kingdom of God on earth and to place
all the money we can (honestly made
and honestly used) at the disposal of
God.
In giving what we can, let us be
sure that we first give ourselves, then
there will be no difficulty about any
thing else. Great Is the mission of
the person with an honest heart and
with honest money. Equallv irreat. in
other respects, may be the 'mission of
the person who has little or no monev.
but has that which may prove to be
worth more than money. ,
"Dedicate Life" Is I rsred.
It is quite possible for one to make
the mistake of his life in what he
does, or fails to do. with such means
as he may consider his own. To rey
frain from contributing to -worthy
causes means not only the temporary
embarrassment to such causes, butthe
Impoverishment of one's own soul,
while giving assures gaining.
"There is that scattereth. and in
creaseth yet more; and there is that
withholdeth more than meet, but it
tendeth only to want."
The thought reiterated, for the sake
of need and emphasis, is this: The all
Important matter is to produce an ade
quate manhood, and then dedicate
that manhood to humanity's cause
which is God's cause.'
We build up our manhood when we
embody and personalize the virtues and
graces essential to manhood. These
virtues and graces we receive from
God. when we open our lives to him.
We dedicate ourselves to God. with all
that we have when, with God-filled
lives we do all we can to help human
beings In this world. Manhood and
money belong to God. when manhood
uses money honestly gained, to the
giory or -oa and for the good it
can do.
Open thy bosom, set thy wishes wide.
And let In manhood let In happiness;
Admit the boundless theater of thought
From nothing up to God which makes a
man.
