TOO MANY POSSESSIONS
I know a man who haa made a
great deal of money. Having a high
sense of obligation to his associates
and his job, he continues to work
hard.
But he feels that it is incumbent
upon him to show that he is pros
perous and, as he expresses it, to
"get Borne enjoyment out of his
wealth."
So he has- built himself a big
house in the city, another near the
seashore and a third In the moun
tains. He has a yacht, with a crew
of twenty-flve .men.
Surely, you would say, he must be
very happy, having everything that
his heart could desire.
My personal observation is that
he has too much, and for that rea
son actually gets less pleasure out
of living than he did when he was
poor.
I have never seen him seriously
worried about his great business.
But I have seen him waste an hour
on the telephone fretting over some
thing that had gone wrong on his
boat
He can make a decision involving
millions without winking an eye
lash. But when his prize bull got
sick he was out of business for a
couple of days, while he telegraphed
all over the country for specialists,
and received hourly bulletins.
Another man, having no children,
keeps two prize dogs which are so
valuable that he insists on taking
them with him everywhere. I went
with him once on a pleasure trip
in an automobile. It may have been
a' pleasure trip for the dogs; It was
agony for me. About every twenty
miles we had to stop to attend to
the little darlings. They fretted my
friend much more than- Coolidge
was ever fretted by the operations
of the entire United States.
I have never been one of those
who write disparagingly of money.
It is magic stuff. It can smooth
rough roads, banish fears, and
transform human lives.
But I hope that as I grow older,
I may have sense enough to live in
a smaller house, after my children
leave, rather than build a big house.
That I may be blessed with the wis
dom that only he who simplifies his
possessions can really reduce wor
ries. The rich young man who went to
Jesus received a hard answer. "Go,
sell all that thou hast and give to
the poor,' 'he was told.
From this It is often assumed that
true religion demands poverty of
its followers a wrong idea, as Is
proved by the fact that Jesus had
other wealthy friends from whom
He demanded no such sacrifice.
The trouble with the rich young
man was not that he had too much
money, but that he had "great pos
sessions." Worrying about his pos
sessions so absorbed him that he
was no good for anything else.

Experiences
I once visited the operatlne-room
of a very noted hospital in Balti
more. The patient on the table had
a small tumor or "lump" in her left
Dreast The surgeon talked softly
at he divided the delicate tissues on
his way to the offender, which he
finally removed, and closed the
wound.
'These thlners are not mallcnant"
he murmured, "and this would nev
er have given her trouble did not
need surgery, but she had read a
lot of stuff it was on her nerves;
just had to have It out or go crazy"
and so on.
I had not been home ten Havr
when a young woman patron came
mio my unice, wiu me same identi
cal condition a lumn in h
somebody had told her those
things were always cancerous
what did I think?
"Marv." I advised. "1t It nlnna
and quit being anxious; just you
come in once a month for a while,
and I'll tell you what to do." She
obeyed to the letter. I asked her
ien nays ago aDout tne matter; the
offender had disappeared had not
been felt for over two years. Hasty
removal of the breast might have
been disastrous, as the next case
proves.
Over twenty years ago, a young
wife discovered such a tumor in her
breast Much alarmed, she em
ployed a "hit and run' 'surgeon, who
removed the entire breast, and all
the glands above it, though they
were not enlarged a capital opera
tion. Fifteen years later, she went to
the most noted surgeon in our west
ern country; one of the most capa
ble and conservative operators in
the country. He told the woman
she was a permanent invalid, skin
and bone incurable and that the
hasty and unwise removal of her
breast had caused it! In other
words, she might be well and happy
today, had the breast been let alone.
She had been dead now, more
than a year. My moral is, don't do
your own diagnosing of lumps that
may appear In your breast Consult
your honest capable family physi
cian, who has your very interest in
his heart And this means in tu
mors of your breast; they may be
dangerous, but happily not always.
