* Andrew Cousley 1960-1967 (1877-1967)
** Nov. WIS: Longport, N.J.: "Our beloved and esteemed aged brother Andrew Cousley "went home" Thursday Oct. 5th from the Home here where he spent the past seven years. He was aged 90, saved 72 years. We will have further word next month D.V. This report came as we went to press with this issue. We were in [[Ontario]] when he "went home"."
** May 1968 WIS: Q&A:
*** Question: "Is it scriptural and proper for a Christian "gathered to His Name" to buy and hold shares in companies controlled by ungodly men?" From [[Northern Ireland]].
*** Answer: "It is NOT scriptural. It is against every tenet of the Word regarding the unequal yoke as found in 2 Cor. 6:14,18. The Word "Be not unequally yoked and the stock market and shareholding with the unconverted is absolutely forbidden by the Word of God. This should be enough for any God-fearing child of God. We have known some brethren of standing in this land who did not give serious thought to this, had no intention of entering an unequal yoke and, when it was pointed out to them, suffered considerable loss rather than lose a good conscience and a reward at the Judgment Seat of Christ. All honor to such.
Our dear brother Andrew Cousley, who "went home" recently from Longport Home for Christians told me on my last visit with him ere this: 'brother Ferguson, your Words in Season cost me quite a bit of money some time ago'. On asking him the reason for his saying this, he mentioned that someone had interested him in some Steel Stocks when he was with the Steel Corporation where he served faithfully for years and, without much thought, he had gone into this yoke. One day he picked up our Magazine and read an answer we gave to this matter some years ago and he told me, with a smile, I got rid of them and took a loss.
Such is the attitude of exercised and godly men and women. Avoid the stock market where you would be in partnership with the ungodly, even though you get a little less interest in an ordinary savings institution. Some might say there is no difference, but there is a vast difference. In the latter case you are not in the institution as a matter of trading, or gain or loss but you are giving them use of the money thus deposited with them and the interest they pay is your charge for this.
However, let us not forget the higher principle of the Word in Matthew 6:19,21. "Make to yourselves friends of the mammon of unrighteousness that when ye fail, (by dying we think the thought is here) they may receive you into everlasting habitations." Wonderful to think that someone will meet you in heaven who is there as the result of your "making friends thus of the mammon of unrighteousness."
