DUTY TO GET RICHER.

are essential aids to useful action-that
none of the great schemes of human
progress can movesa step without them
it would seem to follow that it is the
dmty of every man as far as lies in his
power, to get rich. Every man is no
doubt bound to make the most of him
self each in his own appropriate
sphere. With few it is through the
exercise of power of mind. With the
many it is through some of the varied
uses of money. Each is solemnly
bound to fulfill his mission in the par

ecutors of the Divine will are compare

where we chiefly meet the handspring
of action. Impede, cripple, or arrest

wheels of executive power are, in some
degree, brought to a stand. Without

There are mistaken conceptions, and
