Remedy for Covetousness.
By John Nevins Andrews
THOSE who are troubled with a strong desire for riches, need not go to ruin if they will regard the counsel of the Scriptures. Let such persons devote their income to the cause of God. It is possible for them to do as much good thus, as business men as they could do as ministers of Christ if they were called to that work. If they have more capital than is needed for their business, let them use a portion of this also in the work of God. Men need not die of covetousness, when, by heeding the admonitions of the Bible, they may entirely escape the danger. We may make our weakest points our strongest ones, by the help of God. We are solemnly admonished to take heed and beware of covetousness. We can do this by transferring our treasures to the world to come. There is no danger of our loving that world too well.
