! A clergyman speaking in his pulpit
recently gave ,rtterance to the often
repeated declaration that no man ever
honestly accumulated million dollars.

bricks, but it is also true that man
could honestly earn a million dollars
by his services in caring for great in
terests worth hundred millions

pecuniary interests, and not one of the
