MY father was a stockbroker and

very honorable man. | thus naturally
learned to love the man and de5pise the
calling. Isaw he got his wealth without
earning it, and | vowed as a child to
right the wrong we were doing our less
favored fellowman, and although my
position has cost me my friends 81 and
my money. have only more determined
to stand by my guns till the last fort is
taken or my body returns to ashes. So
cialism is the Good Samaritan (the

The priest is ''the ruler of the syna-

blood as ransom price for all that

ing all the land you can. The men
are ready in great numbers to go to
Washington. No end to their num-
bers just as soon as you are prepared
to receive them and give them en-

many rich people who have tired of
racing after more riches will be turn

they see that they cannot all win in
the race for the biggest pile. Some
of them will become interested in
using their money to help humanity
1t is difficult for rich men to enter the
kingdom, yet some will enter-"all
things are possible with God" We
preachers have been wasting great
deal of breath praying the Lord to
move the hearts of rich men to put
their money into great many fool
ish enterprises that are of no benefit,
such for instance as endowing col
legcs, asylums, OldLadies Homes. SUI

helping them to run and live on
USURY. If preachers would preach
and pray to the Lord and to rich men
to use their money to establish Justice
among men-to prevent men from
getting rich Off the unrequited toll of
others, it would be possible to squeeze
some rich men through the narrow
gate. Such prayers might possibly
be answered. | believe both the Lord
and some rich men would hear and an.
swer such prayers. Let us try it,
believe God wants all men to be rich
in this worlds goods. Rich in the
products of their own wise and well
directed productive labor. believe
His curse is on all men who get rich
on other mems labor.
