ly distributed. Civilization rests upon a
foundation OF property. Abundance buys
leisure. supports schools, college church,
reform, philanthropy. but In his own wis
dem God bcstows the gifts. The faculty
OF creating property means intellect, fore
eight, knowledge OF iron. or wood or
stone, skill In organizing men; II means
economy, prudence, great common sense.
II means also power to work the brain at
high pressure for years, until the golden
leaven begins 10 grow. But all these
gifts nre birth gifts. God gives to the one
man good ancestors, and his money Is
not to be used ior himself Financial
strength Is like physical strength. The
strong man entering the room does not
elbow the weak aslde-hc serves those
weaker than himself The financial giant
does not receive his divine gifts to spoil
weaker men. His great office Is not TO
be spiders web with which to catch
souls And when n man receives this
S.ft and uses IL, how glorious his name
becomes. Witness the plans OF Henry
Phlpps In the interests of the poor in the
tenement house region. Think of what
one million dollars invested so as TO bring
In per cent Will do In the way of INT
ms up an ideal for the model tenement
WHAT the world wants Is example, and
enc name and deed can leaven a genera
tion- How glorious In the name OF Pea
body through his passion for the poor OF
London How wise the man who makes
God and events ard the great city TO be
his partnersi Mathcmaticians talk about
raising q sum to the nth power. but
there are teachers OF the poor. there are
NoIhcIs IN lne social settlements, there
are mon ana women In our schools on
sunday afternoons who have put their
wisdom and money and souls into boys
and girls and realized one thousand per
cent OF usefulness and happiness Blessed
are they that have wisdom to associate
their names with the Gauge Of the poor.
These can never die Time will plough
The cities In dust. but time has no power
TO ln1uro their names. And 1 trust that
this noOlo man who has dedicated one
million to housing the poor has clothed
his name with Immortal remembrance
and lighted a fire to which the genera
tons shall come to replenish their torches.
Secret of Happiness.
We have here the secret OF unhappiness
among those who seem the children OF
fortune. They have abundance. but they
as with the rich soil-thc richer the gift
the greater the peril when mlsused. For
hundred years the Campagna has been
the source of sickness and lnnumcreble
feverS. The Tlber overfows and dis
tributes the rich SILT upon the soil. The
the hills; the land Is stepped also In vel
canlc deposits, and when the sun shines
the poison arises death sdeS In a chariot
of mist. his ambush is In drop OF
water. From these plains the peasants
flee II was called the home OF death.
But recently the scientists conceived the
Idea that the disease sprang out Of the
very richness of the soil The landowners
therefore, lent strength to the plough,
seeded the plain, turned the gases into
sheaves, turned the rich soil into clusters
or grapes and the richness or the orange
and lemon. and the moment the wheat
was reaped sowed the second crop Of
grass or paSturaGe-and to the astonlsh-
mont of the people the air was cleansed,
the riches OF the soil were transmitted
