The Shrill Trumpet Voice of Admonition - Moab is settled on His Lees!

A far more common form of that carelessness which is so destructive, is that of men who give themselves wholly up to the world's business. Such men, for instance, as one whom Christ called "Fool." You know the story: his fields brought forth plenteously, for he was a skilful husbandman, he had bought the newest implements; he had tilled his ground after the most scientific fashion; he had doubled the crops, and increased his riches. This was the one object for which he lived. He was a raiser of grain and a hoarder of gold, and nothing more, He said within himself that he must build a temple for his god: his god was himself, and his temple was his barn. "I will pull down my barns and build greater — there will I bestow my goods." This man's case is so common.
