A righteous life, rather than “things”, makes men wealthy before God. Ob- , session with earthly riches can make us incanahle of meeting the canditions for eternal life.—Mark 10: 17-22,

By R.H. RAMSEY In essence, the commandment covetousness:.,is a higpmary of all the other com-

‘ Cones governing our rela- ips with our. fellows..

~ Covetousness is not the dis-

ne the neighbor's new color nor is it the twinge of invy of another's wealth. fame Ww success. Covetousness is such tatural emotion carried to un- healthy, lengths. It is: the im- broper desire to have that which belongs to another or to which ve-have noright —- Covetousness lies at the root all the sins harmful to men’s jouls. Evil thoughts lead to evil s, and covetousness all too uently leads to killing, adul- , Stealing and lying. Thus;

can prohibit men* from keeping the rest of God's law, for we cannot keep it fully if we are -covetous. —~ |

|’ Asidé from, “the certainty of 'the life to come, Jesus spoke \more extensively about the in- herent. danger of concern — for possessions than of any other jaspect of life.

High regard for the. acquist- ition of earthly goods can make jus incapable of meeting the con- jditions necessary for life. Like the rich young ruler \(Mark 10:17-22), we sometimes become unwilling to give upour material wealth and. follow Christ. He wanted God — as do we—but: not at the cost of his gold, He wanted eternal : life— as.do we— but not at the cost of his earthly luxury.

“Things” cannot make ‘a man rich: before God, for, as Jesus often insisted, a_ righteous ‘life lis the only _thing that. counts iwith God, Indeed, what the world terms ‘‘success’ can be spiritually costly, for # may be failure in God's sight. .

The covetous man who asked Jesus to bid his brother divide

The Consequences Of Concern

as God's Son. not to be a judge or divider over men. It also af- forded Him -an opportunity to warn’ of the.. consequences of covetousness through the para- ble of the rich man who built new barns. ‘

Though he fs later. proved a there -were commendable

and made his fields produce abun- dantly. Like all good farmers,

he stored his crops carefully so.

they would not rot. When his

igranaties bec ame insufficient

for such abundance, he built new ones, so, his industry would not be wasted and his future even more. secure. :

When he knew he—had more than enough to sustain him’ the rest of his life, he adopted the Epricurean philosophy of taking his ease,. eating, drinking and being merry.

But he had not-included God in his reckoning. He died syd- denly, and his life, his labor, his hoarding came -to naught. His sin was selfishness. He did not share his abundance with oth- ers— though there must have

The .conclusion 1s .. obvious. The covetous possession of things violates the tenth -com- mandment, True wealth is not what we accumulate, but our, attitude toward our own posses- sions and those of others.

The parable does not condemn diligence, industry, thrift and foresight. Rather . it condemns obsession with ‘things’’ and t heir accumulation. Christians ‘should be careful. of the~neces- sities of life, but not concerned or anxious over them. The Fath- er who gave us<life' knows our needs and will provide for us as He does for all of nature — even though what He provices is honest toil.

Jesus urges us to seek -‘the kingdomrzof God and all these things shall be. added.” This quest for ‘the kingdom. should come first, - taking precedence over ‘things. There we should lay up our treasure.

as well as the Kikuyus. In most |

cases, congregatoins. were 50 large that loud speakers had to

be used to relay the services to}.

thos- who thronged the sur-

rounding streets and areas.

Within three days of the arriv- |:

tal of the 9,000 copies of the new

edition, every one had been sold, |

and further dispatches were urg-

ently called for from the publish- |¥ ers, The British and Foreign |*

Bible. Society in London.

A special presentation copy was given earlier to President Jomo Kenyatta, himself-a Kik- uyu, by a delegation of African church, leaders, including _ the Rev. John Mpaayei, General Sec- retary of the Bible Society in East Africa. The Kikuyu Bible was first published in 1951-

“In our countries in East Afri- ca,” states Mr. Mpaayei, ‘‘our people are looking for some-
