L refer to the man who dies possessed

duce, that he may add to his store OF

In an article in the North American
Review of June, 1899, he stated his
doctrine as to the uses of wealth thus:
This, then, is held to be the duty
of the man of wealth: To set an exam

In carrying out the doctrine above
enunciated, Mr.. Carnegie exercises sag

1t has been well said that not all
men fit to be kings are crowned and
that not all men who wear crowns are
fit to be kings. 1t is the general opin-
ion of those who best know his life
work that Mr. Carnegie is fit to be rich.
And this opinion contemplates both the
way in which he acquired his wealth
and the way in which he is using it.?
When one acquires wealth by reveal

forces, by afrording employment, cult

duction under which the good thing of

of all thoughtful and rightminded men
and women. And when one who has
thus acquired great wealth regards it as
a sacred trust to be administered in the
interest of his fellow man, using it to
open to millions the golden gate of OPP
portunity, his service is entitled to sim
cere and hearty commentator.
In less than half a century of bus
mess life Mr.. Carnegie had acquired a
fortune compared with which the ia
bled wealth of Croesus seems like pow

only little past middle life, strong of
body, clear of head, and youthful of

that all men who serve on public boards

President Patterson thanked those
