DANGERS OF CONCENTRATED WEALTH
There have been wealthy men in all countries, and in all ages. There have been times when the wealth of a nation was gathered into the hands of a few citizens. But when this is true of a nation, that nation is on the road to ruin. History shows that the concentration of wealth, together with the debasements that follow in the wake of the consequent extravagance and luxury, have produced the downfall of nation after nation. With emphatic clearness does the Bible show that "heaped treasure," and "wantonness," along with oppression of the poor, will create a worldwide problem that will mark the "last days." We are exhorted to be patient to the coming of the Lord, and are assured that the Judge is standing before the door. That Judge who is about to enter, is none other than the One who gave the Golden Rule, and He will destroy that which is out of harmony with His perfect standard of righteousness.
