"CHARGE THEM THAT ARE RICH."
By R. F. Cottrell
BY THE LATE ELDER R. F. COTTRELL. Charge them that are rich that they be not high-minded,
Nor trust in a thing so uncertain
As temporal wealth, that they be not so blinded
By Satan's delusive, dark curtain;
That they should be rich in every good work
To succor the needy and dying;
In matters financial never to shirk,
On God's gracious promise relying;
For he will not suffer the faithful to fall,
But all needed help will be given.
While you give of your means in response to God's call,
You are laying up treasure in heaven.
