How to Make Money.

The SureSt and quickest way to obtain rlcf-
es, happiness, honor and knowledge, is still
the great problem of the day. "Ifl could only
make money says the young man, his heart
swelling at the thought, should be perfectly
happy If could only make money, how
should work and toll. Early and late-year
in and year out how would stick to it," The
art of money making, is to be sure, generally
considered very difficult. The universal belief
is, that the avenue to fortune is through long
years of patient toll ard perseverance. Amy
mode, therefore, to which the road to riches
can be shortened and made accessible to all,
will be hailed with universal joy, and pursued
with avidity. Such a mode there is, and am
now about to communicate the wonderful Sc.
cret to unfold the hidden path. Follow it
with ardor, keep it continually in view, and
soon you will have riches, happiness, honor
and knowledge, no matter how poor, ignorant
and despised you may have previously been.
In money making, men generally follow the
dictates of their own minds, and the experience
of their predecessors. This is the reason why
so few grow so rich, and why so many fail.
They depend entirely upon their own judg
ment. God who made men, and whose judy
given set of directions, apparently on purpose
art of making money. This set of directions
is so ancient, that somehow we moderns have
lost sight of them in practice, and there is hard
ly an instance of their introduction into the
business affairs of the present day. But their
having been forgotten does not alter their va
lue. They are as sure, and certainly more ne
cessary now than when first given. Of their
positive truth no one can doubt, for they are
oT I'D iEa Evin
and unchangable. He who desires, therefore,
to adopt the surest and quickest mode of be-
coming rich, has only to follow them. Here
they are:
Gods directions for obtaining riches, happi-
ness, honor and knocledge.
l.. Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind.
2. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy
self
8. Delight thyselfin the Lord and He shall
give thee the desires of the heart.
4. Wait on the Lord and keep His way,
and he shall exat thee to inherit the land
s. Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord,
that delighteth greatly in His commandments.
Wealth and riches shall be in his house.
6. By humility and the fear of the Lord
are riches and honor and life.
Z. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom.
All these rules, together with many other
most valuable suggestions and large amount
of sound practical advice, intended for every
body, and especially useful to all persons who
desire to improve their condition or carry out
any other scheme Of life, can be had in print
at the Societys warehouse, No. lis Nassau
street. They are contained in a neat little
pocket volume Of several hundred pages, and
the price is only twenty-five cents. Enquire
for ssThe Bible" 1t is even now the cheapest
work ever published, and it was the first print
ed book ever produced. 1t is also the most
ancient work existing; in fact, some parts of it
were written four thousand years ago, and the
most recent part is about 1900 years old. The
book has always been considered very precious
by every one who has become acquainted with
it, and this is probably one of the reasons
why it has been remarkably preserved. Those
who have neglected to supply themselves with
a copy should get one Immediately. Those
who really desire to obtain benefit should
study it attentively.
