In introducing James NJ. Buckley, d.
D., of New York. Chief Justice Lore said
he was going to tell a story. He said once
there was a bad boy in New Jersey. He
was considered so bad that If he did not

and developed into an eminent an elo-
quent divine. He then introduced DR..
Buckley The latter said be had been
a bad boy The speaker then told of
having preached his fourth sermon in
Wilmington and that Chief Justice Lore,
as a lawyer. and another gentleman, a
preacher, sat in the pulpit 81 was So
chilled by their presence he said, "that
/ have never remembered a single word
that / said in that sermon. About 80
years after that l asked Chief Justice
Lore what kind of a sermon / preached.
He is a kind-hearted man and told me
| it was a good sermon. but he could not
remember the text or anything / said ="
The speaker told of his experience with
the power of money. He told of a visit
TO Europe during 1868. A letter of credit
made all the difference in the world
especially if your clothes are poor. He
| told also of being so poor on one occasion
that he had to pawn an umbrella for 81
/ cents to get out Of town in which he was
| penniless and unknown. He said a man
who is worth million dollars, because
| he either has made the money or has had
| it left to him and has had the cleverness
to keep it, is fortunate. He said money
was a great power, but It could be abused
using it for the practice of bribery and
for other illegitimate things. People who
| live beyond their means, he said, were
abusing their money and that Of their
| friends.
He advised his hearers against putting
on airs that they cannot carry out, and
gave illustrations in support Of his con-
tention. He did not believe in tainted
money and said if he had money he was
legally entitled TO he feared no taint it
might have. He said it was possible TO
marry money, but he would rather be a
pack peddlar than be the steward of a
rich woman, getting hisIboard and clothes
with other perquisites. He also said il
was possible to get money in a rotten
business, which the getter would not be
proud Of He advised his hearers TO avoid
making money in this way. Usually the
rich man who could not be fattered is a
miser.
He told of a bankers daughter who
refused to marry minister because she
said she was not good enough. The
preacher changed bis business and be-
came a banker The girl then refused
him because he quit the ministry to be-
come a banker. He advised the graduates
to make a fair aim and then 60 ahead and
make money.
