Although religIOn does not inhibit the acquisition of wealth, although it does not hold up large fortunes as evil, the tenor of its teaching, by dnd large, is to induce an attitude of indifference to worldly things, things which gratify one's lower self and keep one engrossed in money-making. The student should be made to realize that the real goods of hfe are spiritual, love of things of the splfit and service of one's fellowmen, joy of an ordered disciplined life. These are blessings money cannot buy. What is wealth before such things of the spirit? Of all religious teachers Jesus Christ has dealt more comprehensively than any other with the problem of wealth in all its aspects. He may be called the greatest exponent of the science of the wealth. With only four words "Blessed are ye poor:" he changed altogether the values which man attached to human existence and human happiness and acquisition and possession of wealth. Real bhss consisted, he taught, not in riches nor :.n anything else which the world regarded as prosperity or felicity, but in the joy and happiness derived from being at peace with one's fellowmen through perfect love and fellowship and selfless service and sacrifice. The word "poor" on the hps of the Master had a spiritual significance -the poor so far as they were poor in spirit, humble before God, simple, God-fearing, teachable, faithful. It could surely not have been his intention to hold up destihltion and privation as a blessing in itself. That would have turned life into a terrible ordeal and it would have heen heartless to exhort the poor to beheve that money was not necessary fOJ one's sustenance or the joys and blessings of life. Even things of the spirit cannot be had without money. Extreme poverty is as liable to lead to the stagnation and impoverishment of the soul as excessive wealth. lot outward poverty but inward spirit was what Jesus Christ desired and demanded. Every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust. Giving in charity for the relief of the poor and public welfare is not merely an act of compassion, not merely a religious duty, but also an act of social justice. All the gospels of wealth are based on the fundamental concept that none can claim an absolute or inherent right to property. Evervone holds it in trust from God to promote the good of mankind. All rights to private property are subject to this primary ohlieation to God and man.

Although religIOn does not inhibit the acquisition of wealth, although it does not hold up large fortunes as evil, the tenor of its teaching, by dnd large, is to induce an attitude of indifference to worldly things, things which gratify one's lower self and keep one engrossed in money-making. The student should be made to realize that the real goods of hfe are spiritual, love of things of the splfit and service of one's fellowmen, joy of an ordered disciplined life. These are blessings money cannot buy. What is wealth before such things of the spirit? Of all religious teachers Jesus Christ has dealt more comprehensively than any other with the problem of wealth in all its aspects. He may be called the greatest exponent of the science of the wealth. With only four words "Blessed are ye poor:" he changed altogether the values which man attached to human existence and human happiness and acquisition and possession of wealth. Real bhss consisted, he taught, not in riches nor :.n anything else which the world regarded as prosperity or felicity, but in the joy and happiness derived from being at peace with one's fellowmen through perfect love and fellowship and selfless service and sacrifice. The word "poor" on the hps of the Master had a spiritual significance -the poor so far as they were poor in spirit, humble before God, simple, God-fearing, teachable, faithful. It could surely not have been his intention to hold up destihltion and privation as a blessing in itself. That would have turned life into a terrible ordeal and it would have heen heartless to exhort the poor to beheve that money was not necessary fOJ one's sustenance or the joys and blessings of life. Even things of the spirit cannot be had without money. Extreme poverty is as liable to lead to the stagnation and impoverishment of the soul as excessive wealth. lot outward poverty but inward spirit was what Jesus Christ desired and demanded. Every religion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust. Giving in charity for the relief of the poor and public welfare is not merely an act of compassion, not merely a religious duty, but also an act of social justice. All the gospels of wealth are based on the fundamental concept that none can claim an absolute or inherent right to property. Evervone holds it in trust from God to promote the good of mankind. All rights to private property are subject to this primary ohlieation to God and man.
