the world, the practical sagacity of men,
cooperating with science, is revolution
izing processes in every department Of
business, and is opening sources of
wealth which are ineXhaustible. Moth
ing, apparently, can arrest society from
becoming enormously rich; and so far as
can be 1oreseen, the forces which make
for prosperity will move with accelerated
speed in the future.
Prosperity is the product of three
agencies: The energy of the human spirit,
which must and will find expression for
itself; the creative genius Of the human
mind, fashioning every kind of tool, ma
chine and method; and the inexhaustib,e
storage of force and material in the earth.
Place such a being as man in such G
world as this and give him time for de-
veIOpment and nothing can keep him
from becoming immensely rich If this is
not in the order of Providence, then we
have no data in any department for in
terpretating that order.
Vows of poverty Will not keep the world
poor; society might as well vow not 10
recognize the law of gravity or the flow
of the tides; it is written in mans nature
and in his world that he must either be-
come rich or commit suicide.

the distribution of wealth may be applied
TO society in the time to come; there will
certainly be great changes, and they viii

be beneficsnt ones; great perils Will come
with them, but society has always faced
great perilS; God has saved it so many
times, when men had given il UP, that
] have ceased to despair about the fu-
ture.
But whatever changes may be made in
the distribution of wealth, nothing will
or can be done to check or limit its pro-
ductiOn. because men will not tolerate
any cuTtailment of their energies The
outstanding and the multiplying of forces
by combination on a great scale viii be
better regulated than at present; but the
principle having been discovered, its i'm

is to be found not in keeping the man or
society poor, but in making and keeping
the man and society pure in heart. 1t is
easy TO be poor, but II is extremely Diff
ficult to remain pure. 1t is easy TO as
sumo VOWS of poverty; it is difficult TO
remain simple, sweet and true in the
midst of vast possessions If the prob

giving up everything we should have an

cuts,

for any solution of the problem when
involves narrowing the one or curtailing
the other. 1t is not enough to save our
selves; we must also save society The
end of life is not safety, but sovereignty;
not to escape perils and temptations, but
to conquer them. The mOnasteries be-
came rich IN spite of the vows of poverty
which they imposed upon their members.
Too much Importance is attached to
external conditions. Prosperity brings its
perils but so also does adversely. The
vices of poverty are as great as the vices
of wealth and sometimes they seem
meaner ard harder. The heart of Rome

for prosperity means not so much money
as the things which money secUres-leis-

tUnities of travel. dignits- and even
splendOr of external life. And adversely
means not only absence OF money, but
less Of these rich opportunities for the
fun expression of all that is in men. Ad-
versity means work with the hands and
absorption in that work, prosperity
means largely emancipation from the
