GIVING ALL FOR. CHRIST BRING! RICIIEST REWARD

One of the most impressive of all G. F. Watt's religious interpre- tations is his picture entitled: For He Had Great Posseaslons. The face of "The Rich Young Ruler" H turned away .but every line of his figure suggests the deep sor- row with which his decision was made to reject Chrlstls call. to leave all and follow Him.

Everything that can be said for this fine young character is said. He is young; he is eager; he is rich; he is educated; he is highly moral; he has a position of authority among his own people; yet he is not self-satisfied.

He is one of the many who. having much. aspire to the "some- thing more" which will bring them abiding satisfaction. So he came to Jesus. And Jesus loved him.

Jesus treated his question: "What must I do to inherit etern- al llfe" with the utmost serious- ness. He reminded him of the commandments. and the young man replied: ”Tea(-her. all these have I observed from my youth."

Now a rich young man. with all the privileges wealth brings in any social ordcr, who can stand up to the ten commandments and say that he has kept them all. is a moral character of a high order. Then .lesus added: "You lack one thing; go. sell all that you have and give to the poor. and you will have treasure in Heaven; and come. follow me."

Then the decision which Watts portrays: "At that saying his countenance fell. and he went away sorrowful: for he had great possessions.” Do read the story again as it is told in Mark 10:17- 12

A HANDICAP

Wasn't it hard? But when. Jesus commented on the fact that riches may be a spiritual handi- oap. Peter drew His attention to the fact that the Twelve had done exactly what this youth refused to do. Fishermen had left their boats and nets. the tax-gatherer had let: his wealth. and others likewise without a word had left all to follow Christ.

It was true. And look what He made of them! The heroes of the Iliad are pigmies compared with them, and the kind and conquer- ors of history accomplished trifles compared with the results of their lives and labors.

This young man had in him the stuff of which world leaders are composed. He was one who could never be satisfied with anything but complete sclf-giving. and Jesus dealt with him accordingly. If he had accepted, Christ would have mule. him a power in the transforming of the world.

What does it all mean? Just

LIVING ISSUE

The demand on the rich young ruler i a living issue today. This is why we continue to be inter- ested in it. I have been meeting frequently young men and young women who are turning away from the best the world can offer to give full-time service to Christ and His cause. They would scorn to call it sacrifice; to them it is life-investment in what will bring the richest returns.

1 have crossed the continent conferring in place after place about a great religious venture with leaders of many denomina- tions. It sends you out with your head up and your heart aglow to meet men whose whole lives are given over to God's cause as they understand it.

This is not the only way of serving Christ. Newspapermen a few years ago got a great kick out of reporting the way John D. Rockefeller. Jr., taught his Bible class the lesson of the Rich Young Ruler.

He pointed out that Jesus was dealing with a particular case and did not require all men to do what He asked this youth to tit). This is true - Jesus approved of the proposal of Zacchaeus. the rich tax-gatheref. to use his wealth in obedience to God's laws.

The phrase: ”Every occupation a divine calling" is influencing mightily the church today. Never- theless. the future of all that is good in our world and all that we hope for depends more on the boys and girls who are at this moment giving their whole lives to Christ and His cause than on any other human factor.

Roses are planted outdoors in November and December and Honeysuckle shrubs were bloom- ing in my friends garden when she wrote. and new potatoes and Purple-topped turnips were good for eating. Black-eyed pens were a favorite dish with everyone living in this lovely country where the summers are hot and dry and now they are enjoying a good rain to make up for the dryness of summer.

Last year she had written of the beautiful rose shows she had at- tended and named many of the varieties that appealed to her. I thank her for this garden infor- mation and I am sharing it with you.

Last week I received several of these photographs in lovely color taken in late summer by a visitor to the garden. Almost you could smell the fragrance of the mauve phlox shown in the borders where many plants bloomed.
