RICH AND RIGHTEOUS
Riches are not an evil within
themselves. There is no inherent
wickedness in money. It is the love
of money that is the root of all
kinds of evil. When one sets bis
heart on money, he then becomes a
menace to himself and to the world.
When he determines that his whole
mind shall be absorbed in the
thought of being rich, then he be
comes dishonest. When he trusts in
riches, then it becomes impossible
for him to enter the gates of heaven.
> Jesus Christ never condemned
riches. He condemned the worship
of riches. He condemned covetous
ness ; He condemned the misuse* of
riches. He denounced the dishonest
man, the unfaithful steward, tha
man who exploited his own talents
to rob God. It is just as true today
as It was when Christ uttered It, "It
Is easier for a camel to go through
the eye of a needle than for a rich
man to enter the kingdom of heav
en.” That means, it is easier for
the impossible to take place than It
Is for a man who trusts in riches,
who makes riches his kingdom, w{io
makes wealth his god, to enter the
kingdom of heaven. •
Christ really taught that heaven
was a condition in which a Chris
, tian might find himself, and in
• which he might faithfully serve God
and attain the highest rank in Chris
tian character. Christ regarded
riches as a stewardship. A man’s
wealth must be administered, not
for his own ease and pleasure, nor
for any selfish end. but for the glory
of God and the benefit of humanity.
In the teachings of Christ, every
talent is to he used in the Master’s
service. • When Christ said, “Lay
not up for yourselves treasures on
earth,” He put the emphasis on
"yourselves.” Lay not up for j/our
telves. but lay up as an honest, in
dustrious steward treasures for Ood
and for Ood's route.
Riches can be gotten righteously.
No one can really get rich any other
way.

ONE THANKSGIVING DAY TEN YEARS AGO
The Approaching Thanksgiving Reminds Me.
BY ROBERT B. McCORD.
It was on Wednesday before
( Thanksgiving ten years ago. I had
a long distance phone call from a
county ihdge down the state. The
Children's Home Society had taken
homeless boys and girls from hia
county before, and so he spoke now
with authority. "Get on the train in
Atlanta tonight and reach here to
morrow morning; I have a little or
phan girl you ought to take immedi
ately." To him it seemed not to
matter that tomorrow was Thanks
giving. That also was back in the
days when the Georgia Children’s
Home Society had nobody but me to
go for a little homeless girl.
The child was with, her grand
mother eight miles out in the coun
try when I arrived in that county
capital next morning. Judge said
we’d drive out there for her just be
fore noon, and she’d eat turkey with
us at his As we drove along
he told me how the child’s mother
went out of the world as the baby
came in, and how the poor, untrained
young father got along badly without
a mother for his baby until last sum
mer when he too had to go and leave
her. The old grandmother had since
then been the only chance for this
child of eight years.
Before Judge had apparently finish
ed his story the car stopped before
nothing more than a little old shanty
behind a split-rail fence. It was
twelve by my time-piece, and looking
in the front door we saw back there
a woman and child apparently eating
dinner. "Come In,” she said, and we
forthwith did It.
That grandmother most have seen
better days, for she really Insisted
that we eat dinner with them. We
did not, but Judge sat near by In a
|racant chair while I sat upon an old
trunk there close to the table. Be
fore the diners were one small piece of
cornbread, a saucer containing some
little white raw onions, and one empty
dish of turnips. I knew they had
been turnips, for just then grandma
took the empty dish and went to the
stove in the same room for more.
Seems ttf me she ran the fork hope
fully through that pot-liquor many
more times than Peter seined the Sea
of Galilee, and she caught nothing—
except three small leaves of turnips.
She stopped talking to the Judge long
enough to say: "Needa, they ain’t
no more greens here. Eat them on
ions, I don’t want ’em.” I suppose
Needa didn’t want them either, for
she got up sadly and left the table.
Then 1 invited the little youngster
out and with my kodak made her pic
, ture down there between that little
old shanty and the split-rail fence.
She had on her Thanksgiving cloth
ing, and I got this snap-shot of her
celebrating. About that time Judge
brought grandma out and we four
drove to the judge’s house for a sure
enough Thanksgiving dinner.
If the story could be long, I might
tell you how later that wrinkled old
woman burst into tears when she saw
Needa all bathed and dressed from
head to foot in new clothing. What
kind of tears were they—sorrow or

joy? I don’t know. Why ask me to
explain any woman’s tears. I had
really expected some signs of joy
that "Mary’s baby” was now In the
hands of friends who would cause her
to look like other little girls and give
her a few good reasons for wanting
to live.
I enjoyed the turkey on my plate
that day, but I enjoyed more the tur
key which grandma and "Mary’s
baby” ate in our presence. It was
a Thanksgiving I’ll never forget; and
though today Needa is a happy young
lady loved and trained by a new
father and mother, even surrounded
by several promising young men of
her community all wanting to marry
her, she can scarcely forget that
Thanksgiving Day in the home of the
judge. Grandma, too, was well cared
for after that day, and, though now
she has gone on to join Needa’s first
daddy and mother, before going she
witnessed the new life of "Mary’s
baby” with the devoted folks which
the Children’s Home Society gave
her. Os course, Grandma never did
realize as I did how Needa, whose
name is now entirely changed as are
her features beyond all recognition,
worked a marvelous change also In
that home to which she went as
daughter, making two people so much
better than they ever could have
been had their home remained child
less.
That was ten years ago. Since then
some twelve-hundred other .children
as homeless as "Mary’s baby” have
been taken and made happy by the
Georgia Children’s H?me Society
whose headquarters are in Atlanta, i
