LEONARD WARR Victoria St. —Benmiller Charge 0 bA Thou shalt not steal A boy was asked, "If your father bought a .F suit of clothes for $30.00 and paid 50 cents a week, how much would he qwe at the end of the year?" The boy • promptly answered, "Thirty dollars." "Why, how is that? You certainly don't know your tables." "Qh, yes, I do, but I know my father too." God who, puts first things • first asks us to do the same: Too frequently man's laws give first place toproperty:- lands, houses, goods, possessions and the bank book. But God always puts personality before. • property. The 8th Commandment .is the, only one in the Decalogue which refers to property, Of the 300 words in the Ten Commandments only four words = "Thou shalt not steal" refer to earthly • possessions. z. Of the Ten Commandments, nine are interested in. WHAT WE ARE and WHAT WE DO WITH OURSELVES. Only one of the ten laws has to do with that which we have and hold. - The 4., Model Prayer of our Saviour has one petition for temporal matters. . "Give us this day our daily bread." Readers, these `basic facts shout that God puts LIFE before property, and PERSONS ' before possessions. The Master -Teacher always underscored this fundamental truth: ,See Matt. 6:19-34; Luke 12:15 Nevertheless property is rightfully important. God,- Himself, is the rightful Owner of all things, Man is only the trustee and is aceountable to the Giver of every good and perfect gift. As trustee, man has • GOD-GIVEN rights to property; ii acquisition, its. possession and njoyment, its distribution. One may acquire property by gift, by thrift or theft. Gift and thrift honour "Property Rights." But theft in any of its manifest forms, violates such rights: "THOU SHALT NOT STEAL." - WILL A•MA.N ROB HIMSELF ? Folk may rob themselves of y precious possessions God" wants them to have; the new and • eternal life,' forgiveness of sins, the new song, the new name the, new home; but 'why not have all that's coming to you through a personal acceptance of Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? y Folk may rob themselves of the true meaning of life; of the • e0 N • • • fo 0 Exodus 20:15 enriching experiences in life, by the disuse or misuse of property values.. There is a tombstone inscription in 'New England, written by a father to his son, -it reads: "My son; that which I bequeath unto you, ., you must earn anew, if you would possess it," We are ordained to work, for our money and to make our money work for us. "j can't make out our new neighbours," Mrs. Green told her husband, "they have no car, no TV, and she " has no jewelry or -furs." "Perhaps," her husband observed, "the poor pedple• have nothing but money." Tolstoy wrote a story of a farmer who always , wanted a little more land. He finally went to the ' frontier where the peasants of a remote race offered him ally^the land he could walk around in a day; but he had to be back at the starting point, at sunset.' He was tempted to ,take in so much territory that as he finished the long run, he fell dead at his goal. Then six feet of earth was all he needed. ; "Money is a,wonderful thing, but it 'is possible to pay too high a price for it." (Alexander Bloch). G.A. Studdert-Kennedy. says that the . real meaning ,of money was brought home to him when he saw a girl dying of tuberculosis while she lived "in one of those abominable pigsties which Ado.. duty for house for some, people." The girl could get well, but only on one condition: somebody had to find money enough to transport. her to a decent place where she 'cou'ld have fresh air, professional care and good food. Studdert- Kennedy went and got the money and their he knew, he - said, what money is. (Dr: Elton Trueblood). WILL A MAN ROB HIS FELLOWS ? One may rob others in terms of material possessions, of time, of honest work, of ,genuine goods, of adequate returns, of a good name, of influence, of compassion, of opportunity. Taxation may also rob folk of their rights. Bill drove his load of hay to the scales and then, instead of getting off the platform, he slyly stood on the platform out :of sight of weigher, he thought. His weight added 21 cents to the price he got for the hay. But as he drove off, the weigher called after him, "Bill, you sold yourself for 21 cents this morning!" "Time is money." How oft thoughtlessly we steal time from other. If my belated , arrival by ten minutes only holds up the business of a group of six persons, I have robbed . others of one hour of time. WILL A MAN ROB GOD? Nothing is so serious and sinful as to rob God of that which is His due. Wherein do we rob Goo? Of ourselves, our love,' our praise, our service, our talents, ..our possessions, of His Day. See Matt, 22:2,1. Your treasure in a safety deposit box at the bank can 'be controlled only by two keys — your own and the. one in the hands of a bank official. The one complements the .other. The treasure -house of God's wisdom, Truth, Grace and Power can be unlocked in similiar fashion (Malachi 83:10). Why seek. to. get on without God when His help is ready for our asking. James 1...5-8.
