lSiefaim
Wealth Is Given as Trust,
Rev. W. C. Cumming
Says In Sermon.
(Reported to Daily Dispatch)
Speaking at the Presbyterian church
yesterday morning on the text, “Bless
ed are ye poor,” Rev. W. C. Cumming,
the pastor, stated that when Jesus
came teaching He said some things
that astonished all who heard Him,
and that have continued to astonish
men and women down through the
centuries. One of the sayings of that
has most astonished men and women
is the Beautitude recorded in Luke
6:20, “Blessed are ye poor” and the
parallel found in verse 24, “Woe unto
you that are rich.”
The love of money and the desire to
be wealthy is so universal among men
that such statements have puzzled
and amazed men everywhere. We do
not wonder that when Jesus said,
“How hardly shall they that have
riches enter into the Kingdom of
heaven” and “It is easier for a camel
to go through the eye of a needle than
for a rich man to enter the Kingdom
oh heaven,” those who heard him were
“astonished out of measure and said.
Who then can ha saved?”
If we ask Why did Jesus sav such
things? We may note that the rich are
especially tempted to put gold above
God, Instead of seeking first the
Kingdom of God and' His righteous
ness they are tempted to put money
first and to seek it rather than the
welfare of their fellow-men and the
elorv of God. Many men are rich to*
day because they have defrauded the
nnnr. they have not paid a livin'', wage
to labor, they have made or sold that
which is injurious to the body, mind
or soul of men. They have kept with
ing the law of man perhaps, but they
have broken others of the Law of
God.
It is wealth that is goton in such
ways that has the condemnation of
God upon it. and that is condemned
in James 5:1-4 “Woe unto your rich
men. weep and howl for your miser
ies that shall come upon you. Your
riches are corrupted and your gar
ments are moth-eaten. Your gold and
silver are cankered and the rust of
them shall eat your_ flesh as it were
fire. Ye have heaped treasure to
gether for the last days,. Behold the
hire of your laborers, which is of you
kept back by fraud erfeth, and the
cries of those who have reaped are en
tered into the ears of the Lord of
Hosts.."
Jesus spoke on another occasion of
how the “cares of this world, the de
ceitfulness of. riches and the lust for
other things” enters in and “chokes,
the word” so that it becomes unfruit
ful. He saw the rich young ruler come
to Him with a fine desire after the
best things, and saw it choked out by
the love of money. When he came
to the point of making a choice be
tween God and gold he went away sor

Bullard at the Front

R. L. Bullard captured Cantignv.
rowful. Riches put obstacles in men’s;
way so that “They, that would be rich
make for themselves a temptation and
a snare, and many foolish and hurt
ful lusts, such as drown men in de
struction’and perdition” (I Tim. 6: 9).
In discussing the words “Blessed
are ye poor” the question was raised
whether it is poverty that Jesus was
blessing or not, and it was noted that
many have thought so, but that pov
erty may be linked with evil—jnay
itself be a great evil- and that there
is no more virtue and poverty, with
out character, than there is in wealth
without chaiacter. Attention was call
ed to the fact that Jesus did not say,
Blessed are all poor, or even Blessed
are the poor, but “Blessed are ye poor,
for yours, is the kingdom of God.”
and that He was talking to His dis
ciples at the time. They did not have
much of this world’s goods, and they
left what, little the ydid have to fol
low Him. They hare turned their
backs upon earthly treasure and the
opportunity to acquire it and so lay
it up and are seeking treasure in
heaven.
In discussing the question. Why
Jesus called poor men to be His dis
cipels instead of rich men the point
was made that there are certain qual
ities that frequently go with wealth
that are hostile to the Christian life,
such as pride, impatience, vanity, idle
ness, self-assertion, self righteousness
and trust in self and in material
things. And also that there are cer
tain qualities such as humility, pati
ence, helpfulness, diligence, forbear
ance, sympathy and trust in God that
are of great importance in the Chris
tian life that are more easily attained
by those'who have little or who covet
little of this world’s goods.
An additional reason was seen in
the fact that rich men would not re
spond to His call. The Rich Young
Ruler was as fine and upright a man
of wealth as could be found. His life
was clean, his motives were sincere
and his desire was so fine that when
Jesus saw him “He loved him.” He
called him, but he would not come.
And if he would not come it goes
without saying that others would not
come. When Jesus called the poor
they came and they still are coming.
It is true o fthe church today, as it
was in the days of Paul, that “Not
many wise men after the flesh, not
many mighty not many noble are call
ed” but “God has chosen the poor of
this world, rich in faith, heirs of the
Kingdom which He has promised to
them that loved Him.”
In drawing a conclusion from Jesus’
woe upon the wealthy and blessing on
the poor it was said that we should
recognize that “Men who fill their
lives with ihe pursuit and acquisition
of wealth acquire a certain temper of
spirit which is incompatible with the
Kingdom of God. Their god is Mom
mon and their spirit is the spirit of
this world.” On the other hand, Men
who have come to Christ and accept
ed the Kingdom of God must, what
ever hteir earthly pocessions, be poor
in spirit. Recognizing that have
nothing that we did not receive, noth
ing that we may not lose, and that
we canont long keep what now
have, let us regard whatever our pos
sessions are as a trust from God to
be used for Him, and that His King
dom and His glorv is th*» rrnin ihinr
to live for. Let us realize our need
and dependence upon Him and live
“as having nothing, and yet nosghss
ing all things” for “our sufficiency
is of God.”

K BEING STARTED
New Structure To Repl ace
Burned Quarters by
the Early Fall
Workmen have begun clearing awa
the debris from the O’Neil bio!* n V
posite post office preparatory to T
building the structure which was burn'
ed late in March in one of the most"
disastrous fires the city has experieno
ed in some years. nc '
M. J. O’Neil, head of the hardware
firm bearing his name, and in which
his sons are associated with him said
today that the rebuilding would JJ
under way as soon as the walls are
knocked down and the debris cleared
away.
The new structure will have the
same frontage on Garnett street as
the former building, and will run back
on Winder street to a depth of ioo
feet, slightly more than the burned
building. It will be two stories high
Mr. O’Neil said the new store would
one of the most modern and U p-t»
date in the city, with a front that
will be among the mos? beautiful i n
the city. It will be of a different
type of construction than any build
ingjj on the city s main business
thoroughfare.
For generations the O’Neil store has
occupied the corner opposite the po«t
office, and the restoration of the
burned structure will make it possible
to retain the company's slogan relat
ing to its continuous location.
