THE USE AND ABUSE OF WEALTH Inlarnaiional Sunday School Ltnon for Saptambar 7th. 1947 GOLDEN TEXT: "Better is a little with righteousness, than great revenues with injustice." ? Pro verbs 16: 8. Leuon Taxi: Prorarba IX: 24-28; 16: I: Ecclaiiattas 5: 10. 11; Jamas 5: 16. One of the greatest responsi bilities which can come to a Christian is the responsibility of wealth. Even the man of mode rate means has many opportuni ties for unselfish helpfulness. Failure to realize and measure up to the obligation of one's posses sions means spiritual failure. One of the first problems to be confronted in considering this lesson is that of making money rightfully. Our modern life is so engrossed with materialism, that, in planting ideals in tt^e minds of our youth, the idea is given that the accumulation of wealth is the aim, while very little is said about how this money should be made. Consequently, there is too great a tendency to judge success in life by *he size of the accumulated pile of dollars, without any cor responding scruting of the means by which the fortune has been made. Jesus nowhere taught that the possession of money, or of wealth, was a wrong or a sin. All through the Bible mention is made of numbers of rich men, among them being Abraham, Joseph, Jacob and Matthew tells us of Joseph of Arimathea, who was a rich man and a disciple of Jesus. JesuS makes no distiction bet ween the rich ahd the poor ? to him they were, and are, immortal souls who need salvation. Jesus did teach that the pos session of wealth is a distinct peril and he warned that it was "easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God." He knew that it was easy for men to let the love of money become the ruling passion of their EXCEUTOR'8 NOTICE Having qualified as the exceutor of the will of Miss Myrtle Caudill, late of the county of Watauga.

We know of people today who are struggling and working hard to accumulate a great deal of wealth. So engrossed are they in its accumulation that they neglect everything else ? their falme, their family, society and their spiritual welfare. While the Bible teaches thrift and condemns wastefulness; it also commends generosity. Pro verbs. written by Solomon who was a very wealthy man, reckons generosity as one of the supreme virtues. And, when we think of it. the words of Proverbs on this subject agree perfectly with the teaching of Jesus himself. Jesus insisted that the liberal man re ceived a personal blessing through his kindness and genero sity and was a source of blessing to others. The selection from Proverbs given us as a basic for our study for this lesson urges generosity. Just as the planted field, if it is not cultivated, will yield a Door harvest, so the grasping, selfish man, who fails to divide his sub stance with others, dries up with in and becomes spiritually poor indeed. When Jesus said, "Lay not up for yourself," he was not con demning thrift or the desire for personal security, he was merely forbidding the accumulation of money for selfish purposes. In our country, there are holders of great wealth who are the bene factors of civilization. The man who is able to build factories for thousands of people is a bene factor, provided he conducts his business with the welfare of his employes in mind. However, the man who acquires great wealth and uses if for the gratification of his own selfish desires, with no regard foe society or his own eternal welfare, he it is whom Jesus condemned. We should remember at all times that this is God's world, that he created us, that every thing we have was given by God. that he it is who gave us the power to get whatever of material possessions we have, little or much, and that we shall have to render an accounting to him as to the use or abuses of our pos sessions. "Money that is invested in the welfare of immortal lives be comes thereby immortal," says Jay T. Stocking. "Money that goes into the making of charac ter. the shaping of destinies, money that gives men hope and spells opportunity and lengthens days and wipes away tears does not 'puss away'. Money that con tributes to the onward sweep of truth is as imperishable as truth itself. Treasure that is spent for the Kingdom of God is beyond the reach of moth and rust." One man of wealth, when of fered a beautiful Oriental rug at the reduced price of $15,000 re fused to buy it, declaring, "I should hardlv hope to be for given if I were so foolish as to put $15,000 into rug, for I am sure that every time I walked upon it I would feel as though I were trampling on the ambition of some boy or girl who wanted an education." Are you using the money, with which God has entrusted you for for his glory, or are you abusing the trust placed in you? LESS MEAT NEXT YEAR A top agriculture department economist forecast last week that American consumers will get about five per cent less meat next year ? and perhaps pay higher prices for it. APPS TO DEPEND ON LETTERMEN With abouP fifty men reporting for initial football practice Mon day, and with about twenty-five of them raw recruits. Coach E. C. Duggins of the Appalachian State Teachers College Mountaineers is pinning his hopes this season on his senior lettermen. Due to continue a lot of run ning for the Mountaineers is big John Hollars, 205 pound North State Confetence back last year. Hollars is a 10 second man; dead ly in a broken field and a line smashing halfback. John Kirk, senior tackle and Aubrey Fuller, senior guard, saw heavy service last year and will be called upon to repeat this sea son. Kirk hails from Lexington. N. C., and Fuller from Lexington, Ky., and weigh in at 210 and 180 respectively. Figuring prominently in Moun taineer talk this year will be so phomores Bryson, halfback, from Winston-Salem, and Marvin Hoff man. 170-pound quarterback from Statesville sharing duties with 185 pound quarterback Pete Mills of Henderson With Coach Duggings at the helm in his first year as head coach. the Mountaineers are ex pected to field a team that will look to the future for its success rather than in the approaching season. "We will be building our team from Sophomores and Juniors and do not anticipate too great a success this year although we should win some of our games," he said. Practice will be held twice daily for the first two weeks with plenty of practice under the lights in anticipation of a com plete schedule of night games this fall. The Mountaineers open in Winston-Salem against Doc Newton's Guilford eleven. Bob Broome has joined the coaching staff of Appalachian to fill the vacany created by the ac ceptance of Duggins of the head coaching spot to succeed Flucie Stewart, who resigned last Spring, i Coach Broome was a member of the Mountaineer team from 1936 through 1940. He was block ing back on Kidd Brewer's un defeated, unscored on Appala chian team of 1937. As spinback of the 1939 team he will be remembered for his touchdown smash against the powerful Elon Christians which enabled the Mountaineers to eke out a 7-6 win which threw them into a tie with Lenoir Rhyne for the North State football crown. Coach Broome was coach of Henderson High School in 1941 but resigned to enter the Army Air Corps as a physical training officer. Upon his discharge in 1945 he accepted a coaching posi tion with Rocky Mount High School where he served as as sistant to Coach Joe Caruso. He coached track and basketball in addition to his football duties. Coach Broome will serve as backfield coach of the Appala chian team to complete the coaching roster composed of headcoach E. C. Duggins and end coach Francis Hoover. ALLERGIC TO FIREMAN Detroit, Mich ? A blaze started by a lighted cigarette when Cornelius Locks fell asleep caused neighbors to call the firemen.

The firemen had to subdue Locks befon- they put out the fire. 5- YEAR PLATES Sacramento, Calif. ? Starting Jan. 1, 1949, California cars will wear their license plates for five years.

Secretary of La bor Schwellenbach citing high (arm prices and soaring business profits, said tonight he re^nts what he called "the widespread effort" to blame increased prices on wage boosts alone. In another Labor day statemet, Earl Bunting, president of the National Association of Manu facturers. said that the wages of American workers have doubled since 1939. He said this more than offset a 57 per cent advance in iving costs and decreased value of the dollar. American workers have "a sub stantially higher actual buying power than they had eight years ago," Bunting said. More people per family are working, the N. A. M. chief de clared, "and this fact should not be ignored when considering whether prices are too high to move all the goods which are be ing produced." Labor costs come to 75 or 85 per cent of all expenses upon which consumer prices must be based, he said. Schwellenbach said in a radio speech that an effort is being made "to shift responsibility" for high prices "entirely to the organized workers of America." He blamed "the same indivi duals" who in June, 1946, pro mised that with the lifting of price controls within a few months prices would be lowered." "The fact remains," the labor secretary stated, "that the price of products produced by un organized workers has increased 72 per cent, and those produced very largely by organized work ers have increased 48 per cent." CAT STARTS FIRE Prince Frederick.Md. ? While Mrs. Julius Parran and her daugh ter, Suzanne. 5. sat in the living room of their home, a pet cat played in a bedroom upstairs. The cat knocked a kersosene lamp off a bedside table and set fire to the bed. The blaze heated the cartridges in a ,45-automatic which fired three shots. Mrs. Par ran ran outside, saw the fire through a window, called fireman, grabbed a bucket and by the time the fireman arrived, had the blaze out and had forgiven the cat.
