When such accumula tions are right at the curb, children’s lives are endangered by moving cars and trucks, particularly those vehicles about to park in front of the home,” he added. “Home owners who bufn leaves at the curb should guard against creat ing the danger of a smoke screen blinding drivers who pass by,” the Commissioner emphasized. Stewardship Os Possessions .'Continued From Page One) human race was walking upward into light, how enlightened mankind would build on this earth a paradise; and Frederick the Great turned to the man next to him, and said of the speaker, “Er kennt nicht diese verdammte Rasse”—“He doesn’t know this cursed race.” The speaker thonght it was whole, healthy: but it’s sick and di seased. This fundamental disease re veals itself in many ways in the cracks in the plaster, but, since we are talking about possessions, let’s see how it reveals itself in posses sions. We can, in a kind of awful display, use possessions to reveal our superior ity, the vulgar display of the newly, rich; or, governed by the belief that a man’s life does consist in the abund ance of the things he possesses, we can indulge in the frantic game of ceeping up with the Joneses. We can in self-centredness waste our posses sions, our resources, living as if we were the last people on earth, showing respect neither for our heritage or our successors on this earth. We can live our lives, paying for every luxury; and then from the pittance that re mains—after we are through living— we can toss a bit of the remainder as a cheap tip to the Almighty. We can love our possessions, lavishing our af fections upon them, forgetting what a frustrating thing this is; for the trag- Housework Easy Without • Nagging Backache When kidney function slows down, many folks complain of nagging backache, loss of pep and energy, headaches and dizziness.

Broad and Oakum Streets Edenton, N.C. edy of the inordinate love of posses sions is that while we may love them, they can never love ua in return. The lead and lonely man in hie big house. So we speak of the vanity of this world, meaning that it is a transient thing and that nothing in it can satis fy our souls. We can have the illus ion that possessions will give us the l happiness and security for which we restlessly seek, forgetting that “Thou fool, this night shall thy soul be re quired of Thee.” Instead of being happy and content with the good lives we have, we can with avarice seek a happiness and a security that can nev er be “Where moth and rust corrupt and where thieves break through and steal.” And—most prevalent of all— we can settle into that little shell of respectable selfishness, while the things that God wants go a-begging. Oh! the enormity of jt comes home sometimes—that I. who come from God, live in God’s world, and return to God can live with my back to Him, living to myself with a thankless heart. No wonder the Lord talked about possessions, for they reveal the state of a man’s soul as nothing else can do. It is good to remember— since we are talking about the depths of a man’s being—that what we say applies to all men, rich and poor, for the poor can be as materialistic, as full of illusions, as the rich. We must all in our own way die to this world, to possessions, and hold our time, tal ; ents, and money as stewards. And in! heaven’s name in an age in which thej adulation of possessions has been car-; ried far, let’s strip ourselves of the illusions about them, “for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the I things which he possesseth”.

Let’s look at the dramtic scene of the cleansing of the Temple. He cleansed the Tem ple, because things were out of or der. Here was the House of God, the Holy place, usurped by a good but secondary thing, business. A stranger might have gathered that business primary and Go dsecondary. “My house shall be called a house of pray er”. He had come to restore God’s order, to return man to the truth. Sometimes when you rad about the liberal figure of Jesus, the sweet tell er of stories, the gentle Jesus, the one-sided picture you wonder why anybody bothered to crucify Him. But when you turn to the strong Son of God, His real work—that of re-order ing the lives of men, of returning a rebellious world to God, of bringing men back to their rightful King, then you see why they crucified Him. And how could He reorder without driving the money changers from the disorder ed Temple and-a false love and il lusions from our hearts. The life of prayer, the facing of the transience of this world, the feedihg of our souls on the glory of God must transform our attitude toward our possessions. Placing God first on our budgets is simply a symbol of the fact that He is first in our lives. I cannot tell any man how much to give in dollars and cents; but I do not have the slightest hesitation in asking a man to give as God has : given to him (thats tithing), or in the j name of Christ in asking men to be i humble, thankful, and responsible, and | to show this faith not only with men’s lips but in men’s lives. And when we | are afraid to speak to men thus we rob them of a great opportunity; for it is true, not only that giving comes from faith, but is also true that faith comes from giving, that we learn to love that for which we work and give. ' By the way in which men give you can teach them—you are teaching them—either respect and love for God’s will, or a subtle contempt. "Where your treasure is there will your heart be also.”' - Let me close with a true story. In Port Huron, Michigan, there lived a Judge Black—may his soul rest in peace and light perpetual shine upon him—who for many years was treas urer of his parish and who taught for many years that a man should give to God as God had given to him. One day in the club he was approached by a casual member of the Church who said, "How much do you want me to give the church this Year?” Judge Black smiled and said, “We don’t want your money”; and walked away. Now the picture of a Church treasurer who doesn’t want your money is enough to make any man’s hackles shake with curiorsity; and so it is not surprising that this man followed Judge Black and later in the evening asked “Why don’t you want my money?” “We don’t want your money,” said Black, “we want you.” You come to Church for six weeks, say your prayers, offer your life to God, and then I’ll talk with you about your money.” As you can see I loved Judge Black. He was a great Christian. I ... the letters start. Then from all over the free world come such comments as these from readers of THE CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR, an international daily newspaper: "The.
