The Sin of Covetousness
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Dec. 5 is Exodus 20:17; Luke
12:13-34, the Golden Text being
Exodus -20:17, “Thou shalt not
covet . . . anything that is thy
neighbor’s.’’)
•THOU SHALT not covet thy
neighbor's house, thou shalt not
covet thy neighbor’s wife, nor his
manservant, nor his maidservant,
nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any
thing that is thy neighbor’s.”
Covetousness, envy, being dis
contented with our own lives and
possessions so much that we want
(the things our friend or neighbor
has and try to get them, even to
the point of stealing, is one of the
greatest of sins because it leads
to others. It may lead even to
murder, if it is not crushed in the
heart of the envious person.
Nations are envious as well as
persons. This terrible war in
which we are embroiled really was
brought on by envy—great na
tions coveting the possessions of
other nations, not being content
with their own, and being willing
to murder and torture the inhabi
tants of the other lands for the
things they owned.
It really was covetousness, or
*<ove of money, that made Judas
Iscariot betray his Lord and Mas
ter for a few paltry dollars—about
$15. It probably seemed like
wealth to him, but what did the
possession of the money mean to
him when he had it ? Nothing, and
less than nothing. When he real
ized what he had done and how
unspeakably vile was his action,
he wanted to give the money back,
and in despair he took his own
life.
Man Covets Inheritance
Luke tells us that while Jesus
was teaching, a man who was in
the company came to Him and
said, “Master, speak to my broth
er, that he divide the inheritance
with me.” Whether this man’s
claim against his brother was
just or not we do not know. He
was evidently wild with envy of
this brother who had more than
he. That inheritance seemed to
him more important than any
thing else in the world, and he
was going to try. every way he
could think of to get some of it.
Jesus’ reply was a rebuke to that
envious spirit: "Man, who made
me a judge or a divider over
you?” And to the others He said,
■"Take heed and beware of covet
ousness; for a man’s life consist
■eth not in the abundance erf the
things which he possesseth.”
If we could only remember that.
We may possess all the riches of
~frtbuted by King 1
the earth. We may ride in a high
priced car, have marvelous clothes,
live in a beautiful house, but be
unutterably miserable. On the
other hand, we may be what the
world calls miserably poor in
worldly goods, and be superbly
rich in the things that really mat
ter—in health, love, content, the
joy of living.
To illustrate this Jesus told a
parable. There was a man, said
He, who was rich. He had much
land and the land bore a wonder
ful harvest, so large a harvest, in
fact, that his barns would not
store it all.
He looked at the barns and
wondered what he should do. and
decided that he would tear them
down and build larger ones. Then
he would stop working and “eat,
drink and be merry,” for the rest
of his life.
His Soul Required
But God said to him, “Thou
fool, this night thy soul shall be
required of thee: then whose shall
those things be which thou hast
provided?” Whose indeed! He
could not take them with him; all
he could take to that other world
was his soul, and that soul of his
looked very poor indeed.
“So is he that layeth up treas
ure for himself, and is not rich
toward God,” said Jesus.
Jesus taught us that we should
not worry about things we do not
have or that we fear we wall not
have. We may make ourselves un
happy, even ill, fretting about
providing food, clothes, housing,
etc. Jesus told His followers not
to do this. “Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall eat; nei
ther for the body, what ye shall
put on.”
He reminded them of the rav
ens—the whole crow tribe—who
do not sow nor harvest, and have
no bams to store food, yet they
are fed; “How much more are ye
better than the fowls?”
“Consider the lilies how they
grow; they toil not, they spin not,
and yet I say untd you, that Solo
mon in all his glory was not ar
rayed like one of these.”
If God, then so clothes the grass
of the field which tomorrow is
“cast into the oven, how much
more will He clothe you, O ye of
little faith!”
If human beings could only
learn this lesson. Work, provide
for ourselves and families as well
as we can, and then trust God
that all will be well. We may
fiever be rich or powerful, and if
we were we might not be happy,
but if we have this trust in Our
Father, we can lead good, unself
ish lives, sharing what we have
with others, not envying any man.

ery community and he proceeded
to make concrete proposals with
reference to Transylvania county.
He pointed out that Transylvania
has a well-balanced economy with
virtually no unemployment. Men
returning from service in the arm
ed forces and war plants, he said,
“have a right to expect jobs wait
ing for them.” Plans should be
made now to provide them. Farm
machinery dealers should make
available to farmers in this coun
ty the latest equipment. New crops
adapted to our soil should be
planted, and farm operations
should be expanded to provide ad
ditional food and provide jobs.
There is, Mr. Straus declared, “a
very enticing market” for leaf to
bacco, which can be raised in this
county. Local merchants should
strive to bring a large volume of
farm business to Brevard. He es
timated that 1,000 new homes are
needed to house our growing pop
ulation, offering a great opportun
ity to builders for profitable in
vestment.
Task For All
“But,” continued Mr. Straus,
“this is not sufficient. The mer
chant, farmer, builder and archi
tect alone cannot do the job. A very
important part in post-war plan
ning is played by the community
itself.” He followed this statement
with a proposal that a commission
be formed to draft plans to cope
with post-war conditions in Tran
sylvania county.
Anticipating this move, Mr.
Straus said a survey should be
made of educational facilities to
insure that they are adequate and
proposed the establishment of an
airport. More desirable industries
should be brought in.
“A modern community which
shows the power to expand as Bre
vard did during the last few years
must keep its eyes open,” Mr.
Straus asserted.
Chamber Should Lead
Mr. Straus closed his address,
which throughout reflected a
spirit of buoyant optimism, with
the statement that local postwar
planning should concentrate in the
chamber of commerce. He suggest
ed that the local chamber appoint
a committee to work with Mr. Best
and any group that might be des
ignated by the town and county.
Dr. E. J. Coltrane announced
that Edwin L. Jones, of Charlotte,
chairman of the college board of
trustees, was unable to be present
and introduced D. Hiden Ramsey,
publisher of the Asheville Citizen
Times. “We couldn’t let him get
away from here without saying
something,” Doctor Coltrane said.
4,000,000 Students In Army
Mr. Ramsey complimented Mr.
Straus for his “vivid and cogent
picture” of post-war problems. |
Twelve million men, he said, will
have served with the colors be
fore the war is over, four million
of whom were taken from their
studies. Mr. Ramsey insisted that
facilities be provided for these
youths to resume their schooling.
“For that reason, we should
nourish and expand such institu
tions as Brevard college.”

Cholera Downed
By Vaccination
The story of how America’s
farm front fighters have won a
nationwide victory over the No.
1, threat to wartime pork produc
tion, hog cholera, was revealed in
a recent report of the American
Foundation for Animal Health,
says Dr. C. D. Grinnells, veterin
arian with the agricultural experi
ment station at State college.
“Every authority knew that a
devastating wave of cholera this
year could wreck our whole pork
production effort,” the Founda
tion’s report says. “The bottle
neck in hog cholera control was
the nation’s capacity to produce
serum and virus, with which to
immunize the tremendously in
creased pig crop, vaccination be
ing the only known protection
against cholera.
“Two factors saved us: First,
the control program of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, under a mar
keting agreement and order by
which producers of serum and vi
rus are obligated to have a May 1
reserve totaling 40 percent of the
previous year’s sales—much like
the ’ever normal granary’ plan.
Second, an all-out production ef
fort which sent this year’s hog
cholera serum and virus output 52
percent above the total of two
years ago. It was just as serious
a production battle as that of our
shipyards and munitions plants,
and we won it, as they won
theirs.”
Timely Hints For
Farm Homemakers
BY RUTH CURRENT
Fats must not be wasted as they
are essential to health, furnish en
ergy, make diets more satisfying,
and give food better taste.
Save all the drippings from
meat and use them for baking,
drying and seasoning. These in
clude drippings from bacon, ham
and other cured pork, roast pork,
roast beef, roast lamb, broiled
meats and sausage.
The drippings used for making
gravies need not be strained. How
ever, before storing drippings,
strain them through a cloth. They
!may all be kept in the same con
j tainer, except sausage drippings
[which should be saved separately
for seasoning. Cool them at room
temperature before storing, and
cover closely before storing in the

FARMER INCOME
TAX RETURN IS
DUE ON DEC. 15
Bulletin From Extension De
partment Is Available
To Farmers
Making farm income tax returns
for 1943 is one of the important
jobs to face North Carolina grow
ers next month, says Dr. I. O.
Schaub, director of the State Col
lege extension service.
He points out that the farmer
is required to file a declaration
with the U. S. Collector of Internal
Revenue as to his 1943 income and
pay the estimated tax on this in
come on or before December 15.
To assist farmers in making out
these returns, the Extension Ser
vice has issued a special publica
tion, War Series Bulletin No. 27,
entitled “Making Farm Income
Tax Returns”. Growers can get
copies at the county agent’s of
fice or by writing the Agricultural
Editor, State College, Raleigh.
Application blanks for filing the
declaration may also be obtained
at the office of the county agent.
Deputy collectors will visit each
county before December 15 and
these men will assist farmers in
completing their declarations. An
nouncement will be made as to
xvhen the collector will visit your
county and his itinerary will be
given. *
The Collector of Internal Reve
nue has pointed out that if there
is a change in income or expenses
between December 15 and 31, such
changes will be reflected in the1
final report which the farmer
must make on March 15.
Where a farmer made tax pay
ments on March 15 and June 15,
these payments will apply on the
1943 taxes under the “pay as you
go plan” and the balance of the
taxes are payable with the declara
•tion of December 15.

National requirements for lum

are estimated by the war product
tion board to exceed 36,000,000,
000 board feet of lumber and 13,
000,000 cords of pulpwood during
the present calendar year.
He said that recently the central
producing agency, an office set up
to secure supplies for federal con
struction, was unable to place or
ders for 712,000,000 board feet of
lumber for immediate government
use.
“It is suggested that all citizens
who own timber lands select those
kinds and sizes of trees useful in
the war effort which can be re
moved without impairing the fu
ture productivity of such lands and
to make these trees or the pro
ducts thereof available for pur
chase by manufacturers of lumber
and timber products,’ he said.
In view of the urgent military
nepds for these products, he add
ed, “I call upon those workers in
logging camps, mills and allied
industry in this state to labor
without stint to the end that our
military men may not be hand
icapped by a lack of equipment or
facilities.”
