Money Blind. I heard of a man who had accumulated great wealth, and death came upon him suddenly, and he realized, as the saying is, that “there was no bank in the shroud,” that he couldn’t take anything away with him; we may have all the money on earth, but we must leave it behind us. He called a lawyer in and commenced to will away his property before he went away. His little girl couldn’t understand exactly where he was going, and she said: “Father, have you got a home in that land you are going to?” The arrow went down to his soul. “Got a home there?” The rich man had hurled away God and neglected to secure a home there for the sake of his money, and he found it was now too late. He was money mad, he was money blind.
