A Man’s House
“What during most of our lives we huvo .slowly and patiently created will, if we are overwhelmed in war, be swept away as by a tornado,” said Dr. Barnes, Bishop of Birmingham, in a recent address. “And you cannot
separate material from spiritual loss. To the Christian material goods are gifts of God to be rightly used. The little house, which a man of small meaus has paid for through half a lifetime by the aid of a building society, is not merely a material possession. It represents self-denial, thrift, steady endurance, love of wife and family. It is a material satisfaction, but also a spiritual joy. W antonly to destroy that house is to affront God from whom all good things do come.”
