without money and without prlct.-Iaa-
lab 86:1.
Commercialiam certainly ahould
have no place In the Christian
Church. But In an age that will
even commercialize e man'i love
for hia mother, It it am«U wonder
that the great holy dayi at the
Church—Christmas and Easter—
have become the special object at
profit-seeking purveyors of every-
thing from hats to whisky. New
Year’s day. Thanksgiving day,
Mother's day. Father’s day. any day
at ail, becomes just another oppor-
tunity to take a man’s money, waste
his time, and possibly to destroy
his soul. It is high time that Intelli-
gent folk make effective protest
against such perversion of sacred
things.
The Scripture lesson for today
tells of one who went so tar as to
try to buy the power of God for mon-
ey. that he might use It to get gain
for himself, failing to realize that
the power of God is s gift and to be
used only for His glory.

The Holy Spirit who Is the third
person of the blessed Trinity had
called Philip, a layman, and sent
him forth to preach in Samaria.
Men and women were converted,
and when the church at Jerusalem
heard of it. they sent Peter and
John to give counsel and help to the
ew converts. Through the laying
n of hands these received the gift

fw. 18-24).
Men who put their trust in money
are prone to think that one can buy
anything. They say with Walpole,
"Every man has his price." But
they are wrong. There are men
and women in the world who can-
>t be bought, and It is even more
-tain that the best things that life
give a -man have no price tag
themr— a mother’s love, friend-
ship, fellowship with God, the Holy
Spirit’s power—these among many
lathers are not for tale. >

and blatant effort to do what many
have done in the Church, and are
doing today, by more skillful apd

There are those who by holding the
purse strings seek to control the
message of the preacher, or who usa
their financial Influence to obtain
control of church organizations and
Institutions. Their efforts are
doomed to ultimate failure, but the
present harm they do to the cause of
Christ la appalling. Many-a church
and pastor would be tar better aft
tt they could rise up end eey with
Peter, "Thy money perish with
thee." «
