Thus men man Ice wealthy and reIU

from the world" Bat the danger lies
ia seeking wealth simply for I'll" sake
of the poSitiun. or power, or luxury, of
ease it may bring. When men Il" TINS,
then it is they do not keep themselves

live. in luxury and >clti>hncS~ all the
rest of his days. then it j. the business
man is working upon Il wrong basis.
Then il is he does not keep himself
un~pottrd from the world. There Is Il
prnper and an improper business zeal.
.Amd the rule 10y which the quality OF
this zeal can he tested is this, when
hu~iir>S is pursued >impl, for the gain
il brings. then the zeal tnr il Is wrongly
inspired. But WHEN men Il" business
