Helen Gould Writes on Riches
Tells How to Make the Mo- IF Wealth The Opportunities
Of tn Opulent.
Of III Opu1ent.

10 speak, and would suggest that you
make this same inquiry OF some one of
our leading clergymen. whose views on
ihc subject would be great inspira-
lion to us ALL
The Christian idea that wealth is n
stewardship, or trust, and not to be
used for ones personal pleasure alone,
but for the welfare of others, certainly
seems the noblest: and those who have
more nancy or broader culture owe Il
debt TO those who have fewer oppor-
tunities. And there are so many ways
one can help!
Children. the sick and the aged es-
pecially have claims on our attention.
and the forms of work for them are
numerous; from kindergartens. day
nurseries and industrial schools. to
homes and hospitals. Our inStitu-
tons for higher education require gifts
in order TO do their best work for the
tuition fees do not cover the expense
or the advantages offered; and GER
tainly such societies as those in our
churches, and the Young Woman's
Christian Association, deserve our
hearty cooperation. The earnest
workers who so nobly and lovingly
gives their lives to promote the well
fare of others, give far more than
though they had simply made gifts of
money. so those who cannot afford To
give largely need not feel discouraged
on that account. After all, sympathy
and good will may be greater force
than wealth, and we can all extend to
others kindly feeling and courteous
consideration, that will make life
sweeter and better.
Sometimes it seems to me we do not
sufficiently realize the good that Is
done by money that is used in the diff
ferent industries in giving employment
to great numbers of people under the
direction of clever men and women;
and surely ii takes more ability, per-
severance and time to successfully
manage such an enterprise than to
merely make gifts.
You will, l am sure. be sorry You
have made the inquiry of me. since |
have given you so little information.
but l think you can easily obtain opin-
ions that will probably be far more
helpful than mine. Believe me- very
truly,

thrust into slave ship and brought to
America in n state of absolute equal
ity. Ben All, by his intelligence and
commanding presence. soon achieved
an enviable position for himself with
his new masters. He was set in au-
thority, he lived in comparative ease
and comfort, but his heart must often
nave yearned for the mad dashes
across the plains of Arabia for the
fierce fights in the slave kraals of Cen
trail Africa, for the wide stretches of
sand in the broad deserts and the glor-
lous eXhilaration of the chase of the
ostrich on an Arabian Steed whose
blood could be traced back to the days
of King Solomon. All this Ben Ali
lost. and the effect of his loss upon him
was set down in wild Arabic in the
little diary which Mr.. Goulding pos
seSses. This diary has been taken to
the British Museum, and parts of 1t
have been translated but so much Of
1t is written In forgotten dialect that
1t is difficult even for the most expert
Arabian scholar to decipher it accur-
ately. If nothing else, this diary will
live and be remembered as mute wit
Hess to the fact that the slaves that
were brought to America We're equal
only in their slavery; individually they
differed as widely as the poles. What
gulf there was between an Arab
prince and n fetish worshiper from the
banana groves of Guinea?
The greater part of this diary is
taken up with prayers to Allah, whose
name is written in the most impressive
characters.
The other writings of Ben Ali were
buried with him, but this little diary
has for that very reason an additional
interest.

Miss Helen Miller Gould, da0
of the late jay Gould. has written u
publication an autograph letter in
which she sets forth the opportunities
OF the rich, declaring wealth to be Il
stewardship and not u means of per
sonai qualification
AS one OF the richest American heir
esses. and as one who herself is making
tne most of her wealth in philan-
throptc way, her letter is of peculiar
interest. The world is familiar With
her many good works and with those
sterling qualities of character that
, nave made hers the leading and best
beloved name among American women
IN all that has to do with benevolence
philanthropy and human kindness, she
mas Tor number of years borne an
active and prominent part, and her
gentleness, no less than her modesty
and the excellent discrimination she
exercises in the uses to which she puts
her great wealth have won her the
admiration of the nation. Our soldiers
and sailors we'll nigh worship her. Her
generosity to the children of the poor
Rnd to invalids has made her name n
household word III the humble homes
of the land.
Her written opinion of the uses to
which wealth should be put cannot fail
to interest everyone who has given
even a passing thought to the subject
of the responsibilities that attach TO
the possession of great riches. Is
wealth a stewardship and are we re-
sponsible for the use we make of it?
In her letter. Miss Gould clearly takes
this view. She discusses the various
methods in which wealth may be made
blessing; how 1t may be applied to
the highest advantage and to the no
blest purposes. Her whole life is n
beautiful illustration OF the practical
application of the great principles she
advocates. This is her letter to the
proprietor or The Christian Herald:
