SARA WINDHAM, R. N„ County Nuroe, Taylor Co. righteousness to some extent, and thought that his daily Walk would nut him aright for inheriting eternal life. The golden text answers the question for the rich young ruler, “Come take up your cross nnd 1 follow me.” The man might have thought that he was doing this, but Jesus dissuades his mind of these thoughts. This man, first of all, had a mis conception of Jesus. He regarded Him as a great teacher and as good man. He did not accept Jesus as the son of 'God. Jesus proceeds at once to set him right on heavenly things. Reganding the deity of Christ there is two groups. One group holds that Jesus is no more divine than any other man. They hold that the degree of divinity is a matter of attainment and personal character development. This class says that Jesus himself disclaimed his own divinity by repudiating good within himsellf. The second group, which we hope is largely ill the ma jority, 'believe that Jesus is the son of 'God and that no other has been or is now the son of God. So this belief places Christ on a pinacle to himself Jesus .proved his divinity by his words, works and sinless walk among men. Lets notice .what Jesus himself said then we can draw our own con clusions concerning his divinity. These words will prove it beyond and argument. The rich young ruler asks Jesus, "Good Master, what must I do to in herit eternal life.” Jesus replied' with a question, “why callest thou me good? "There is none good but one, that is good.” Jesus in this reply is merely pointing out to the young ruler the inconsistency in his calling him and at the same time denying or refusing to accept his deity. The argument is that God is good' and only Cod. The real meaning then of what Jesus say, “if I am not God 1 1 am not good." From this statement we have revealed to us that Jesus is either God revealed in the flesh else he is the greatest imposter the world has ever known. There is no doubt whatever that Jesus claimed to be God'. This is proven in the ques tion he asked Philip, “hast thou not known me Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the Father, and how sayest thou show us the Father.” Foy-Stinson Of interest to their many friends here and elsewhere is the engagement announcement of Miss Mabel Frances Foy of Butler and Fort Gaines, to Mr. Earl J. Stinson of Fort Payne, Ala., and Ft. Gaines, Ga., the mar riage to be solemnized at an early date. Miss Foy is the attractive daughter of Mrs. M. R. Foy, of Butler. She has been for the past two years em ployed as Home Demonstration Agent for Clay County. PIANO FOR SALE Piano in' this vicinity will sell for , balance due rather than, ship to At- I lianta.

Jesus was telling them toy this question, “I am. verily God in the flesh.’’ Again he says, “I and my Father are one.” Again, “All things that the Father hath are mine.” We could go on offering more proofs of the divinity tout from what has been said we must conclude Jesus is God just as he claimed to toe. The assumption that Jesus meant bo disclaim goodness within himself is disputed by his whole life and teachings. Life Revealed The very question that the young ruler asked reveals his false concep tion of spiritual life. He was wliat \ve might can a so-styled morally righteous man. He sought spiritual satisfaction that he had always obeyed the law. When he came to Jesus, Jesus readily pointed out to him wherein he was wrong. That he had relied upon the law for life, and had rejected God who was both law and life. Jesus quotes the second table of the Ten Commandments to * the young man. He, (the young man) quickly- and with a show of pride, as serted that he had kept all of these commandments from his youth up. Jesus does not deny the claims of the young man, but tells him that he has depended upon the right rela tionship to man hoping by this to gain eternal life and leave God en tirely out of the question. Jesus is now telling the young man a message that applies all the way down thru the ages that spiritual or eternal life depends upon man’s right rela tionship with God. Then comes the great command that has reverberated down tnru the ages and means just as much today as it did' the day it was uttered, "come follow me.” These few word's hold a world ol meaning for us. When we fu.fill this command we will be in proper con dition then to become heirs of oternal life. When we follow Jesus it may mean that we will at times have crosses to bear. To follow Jesus here does not mean that all is flowery beds of ease. The glorious part of following Jesus in the world is that in so doing we are fitting ourselves for an eternity of eternal life that will be all happiness and flowery beds of ease. The young man came to Jesus unsatisfied and went away sorrowful. He wanted' his own way in life, He had learned through bitter experience that through the work of the law no soul could' be satisfied. Jesus Tells the Meaning Of the Incident After all was said about the rich young ruler it all comes down to this that he was not willing to pay the required price to obtain eternal life. Jesus told him to sell what he had and take up his cross 1 and follow Jesus. Does that mean then that a rich man cannot go to heaven? Cer tainly it does not. A rich man can be a true and tried Christian. It is when riches become master of a man that it keeps him from heaven, but when he is master of riches he can turn it not for his own' good' tout for the good of those about him, When man makes riches his God then it is that he can have no place in God's heavenly home. It is a worthy under taking for a man to make money honestly. Get all you can if you get it honestly would be a good motto, but in obtaining it be sure that we come by it in the way that Jesus would have us gain it. Jesus does not mean that to be his follower we must be devoid of this world’s goods. The example of the rich young ruler being requested to dispose of his riches teaches us that anything or any habit we have that retards us in doing the Master’s will must toe dis pensed with. The golden text very fittingly answers this question pf whether a Christian 1 can own this world's goods, “come, take up the cross and follow me.” Obtaining a tortune may be carried on by one who follows closely the teachings ot JesusWhen this is the case a fortuno can be handled for the glory of God und the eternal glory of the one who the world calls rich. Possession of this world puts upon us greater re sponsibilities. The greater our tal ent the more we will have to answer for in exercising these talents. A rich man can, if he will, lay up for himself and his posterity a rich heri tage. Abraham was a man after God's own heart and he was what the world then called a rich man so far as worldly goods were concerned. Dives was not sent away into eternal punishment because he was a rich man, tout because he did 1 not do the will of God, and let his riches toe his master instead of his toeing master of his riches. Fortunes in this world are a necessity for the reason that many people would suffer for the actual necessities of life were it not for those more fortunate who own goodly amounts of this world's goods and can guide these less for- tunates ini securing the necessities of life. Many men will not come up to what is required of them if they do not amass a fortune because they are possessed with the talents to amass wealth. in the final analysis we are not go ing to be held responsible for what we own when we come to the end of our earthly pilgrimage but we will be held to a strict accountability for the manner in which we have used our talents.
