DEADLY
MIDAS TOUCH
There is a parable' told
about a reed flute' .that was
passed. down from the time of
Moses. The instrument, even
though crudely made,
produced exquisite music
that' blessed worshippers 'for
generations. Then the priests
decided that such an im-
portant heirloom should be
decorated with gold to reflect
the majesty of its music.
-But after the,..' gold was
applied, the flute produced.
only harsh, metallic notes. It
had been ruined.
There are many valuable
things gold cannot enhance.
In fee -tit can do just -the op-
posite. You . remember the
Grecian myth about King
Midas who had ,his:dearestl
wish granted that whatever
he touched might turn to gold,
only to. discover that his
lovely daughter was tran-
smuted from warm,, loving
flesh and blood to cold,
lifeless gold *hen he kissed
her.
Gold • cannot buy • lasting
friendship, or love or good
health. And it cannot bring
one closer to the Kingdom of
God asthe rich young ruler
(Luke 18: 18-25) found out. It
did, in fact, create. a barrier
between him and salvation.
We seem to be living in an
age of the "Midas syn-
drome".
Never in the ' history of
mankind has h2e had so many
wonders open upas when.
with his scientific touch he
has wrought untold changes
in his environment and life
style. '
Yet, ngthing so bedevils.the
astonishing achievements of
. our scientists and technicians
as ..the way in which the
'm& -vets' of our civilization
develop unforeseen and
disagreeable side effects.
For example, as writer
LeGrand Smith points out,
the great triumphs of modern
medicine have 'produced the
overpopulation and raised the
question, When does a.person
have the right to be born and
die? .1111
Our wonderful automobile
industry has created the
ghastly slaughter on the high-
ways. The risingscale of
production and consumption
liras resulted in the .high
degree of pollution and the
staggering - consumption of
the earth's raw materials.
Our Midas touch has
produced a standard of touch
has produced •a standard of
living unequalled before, but
if our energy is becoming as
scarce as the experts tell us,
it may not be long before our
marvellous appliances sit
useless with no power to run
them.
Knowledge in one field
after another is so advanced
and so complicated that.
experts in one area cannot
understand the language of
the. others. The left hand
doesn't know what the right.
hand is doing. The result is
often confusionif not chaos.
LeGrand.Smith goes on to
say, "Eternity and per ection
are within our dreaming and
longing, but beyond our
grasp." Like Adam and Eve -
we think we can be gods out
ourdestiny entirely on. our,
own. But also like Adam and
Eve, we will have to
rediscover 'we are God's.
creatures created by Him,
and that our salvation and ''.
destiny lies in understanding
this and living it within the,
bounds of Christ's teachings
arid example. '
