ish u s: “ Seeing that ye look for such things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in peace, without spot, and blame less” (2 Pet. 3 :14). Leader’s Helps I. S ilent T estimony D. L. Moody used to tell o f a wealthy young London banker who was not fitted for dealing with the anxious, yet wanted to do something for his Master. He hired an aged cabby, offered to pay his usual fare, and tend his Horse while he went to hear Moody preach. For two hours the Chris tian gave a silent testimony outside, while the old man heard the glad tidings inside. I f you cannot do'great things, you can at least mind a horse I “To every man his work.” “Faithful in very little” (Mk. 13: 34; Lk. 19 :17) S elected . II. W hat M oney - C annot D o A paper offered a prize for the best defi nition of the value o f money. The follow ing was the successful answer: “Money is a universal provider for everything but happiness, and a passport everywhere but to heaven.” “Money answereth all things” but heaven —which is “without money.”—P ickering . III. T he B urden of M oney A well-known Edinburgh publisher, whose school books most young folks have used, left over 990,000 pounds sterling in his will. Not long before 'his death, he made a written statement: “My money has never given me any peace or joy. It has been a constant source o f worry and anx iety, and has only made me miserable.” Thus the Scripture is once more con firmed : “What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world. . . ?”— S elected . ' IV. E qual R iches One day a farmer came to pay his rent to a nobleman, whose love o f money was very great. When he had settled his bill, he said,,“My lord, I will give you a shilling if you will let me go down to the vault and have a lpok at your money.” The farmer was permitted to see the piles of gold and silver in the miser’s big chest. After gaz ing for a while, he said, “Now, my lord, I am as well off as you are.” “ How can that be?” asked his lordship. “Why, sir,” said the farmer, “you never use any o f this money. All that you do with it is to look at it. I have looked at it, too, and so I am just as rich as you are.” —S elected . V. A Q uestion You tell me what your money is doing fo r you. I ask you what your money is doing to you.—S elected . VI. C hoice N uggets Money talks; what does it say about you ?—S elected . Money is a privilege—a power—a peril. —M orrill . Money is the most romantic thing in all the world. It is the epitome of your life, revealing what you really are.—S elected . Mon^y has often done more harm in get-, ting into a man’s pocket than it can pos sibly do good by getting out.—C uyler . “Having” money is using it. When we say we have it, but do not use it, we do not really have it. It has us. —Selected. A man’s wages are but another form for the best that is in him, which he has sold. Wages are the result. To waste money is to wa,ste one’s powers. Money is crystal lized life.—A nderson .
