the mother Of wealth. Ignorance is not.
Education is wealth. What is property ?
1t is not bills, bonds and mortgages.
They are only evidences of wealth. A
love letter is not love, though sometimes
it is an evidence of it. Brains are useful
for everything. Wages are fixed by
brains. 1t is the quantity and quality of
brains that make worth. Communities
are rich just as they have that article,
and so with individuals. France has

Most of the treasures of Europe are to-
day bankrupt. The common people are
really ruling now. We have, | believe,
many things favorable for brains
in the United States that Europe
lacks. Anything that helps the brains
adds wealth. Consider our braeng
atmosphere and the great amount of
oxygen in our air. Here are three classes
of mental characteristics. The thoraic,
abdominal and cerebral. The cerebral is
the highest type and it belongs to the
American. Everybody is born poor or

country. In our business centers, men
are always in hurry. They don't walk,
they run. They don't run they rush.

comes from the three great classes viz
the doctrinal, which gives analysis and
knows everything; the emotional; with
its intense and radical influence, and its
hymns and impassional preaching; the
devotional under the GOODNESS of which
the heart beats and the brain forcbly
thinks. Then here we have sixty million
people governing themselves, and self
government is no theory, but fact. 1t is
the LATEST government, but the best. Mis-
takes are made. Legislators are ignorant,
unfit and corrupt. Did you ever visit the
legislature. There is the dandy, the
weazen faced lawyer and the jolly fat
man. There first duty always seems to
aim to get back again. Their salary is
small but they usually manage to patch
up the house and improve on first term.
On the third they have considerable
money to lend. After this they serve
their party, while the rest is given to the
commonwealth. The majority, however,
hold these men back. 1t is said that if a
