Didn't 1t sound as though the father
were speaking through the son? To
an eager Sunday school class In Cleve-
land John ID. Rockefeller, Jr., said !:
You should thank God that you have
to struggle along for your daily bread
and thus avoid the temptations nnd re-
sponslbilities that the possession Of
wealth creates or produces" If the
young and wise Mr.. Rockefeller thinks
poverty is such blessing why, in the
name Of all the saints at once, doesn't
he try to get rid Of the more than just
proportion Of the worlds money which
he possesses? If wealth is such curse
why is he training himself to add to
the inordinately large holdings of his
family? The trouble with young Mr..
Rockefeller Is that he is trying to ape
his father and with long drawn face
and sanctimonious depreciation deride
the possession Of wealth while bend
Ing all his energies to add to his gold
en- store. How does the young Mr..
Rockefeller know it Is more blessed
to be poor than rich? If he imagnes
the squalor Of the garret is preferable
to the luxury Of mansion why doesn't
he try 1t for while? If he can find
more joy in gnawing tough flank steak
than porterhOuse smothered with mush-
rooms, why doesn't he order flank steak
from his butcher? OF all the mushy
talk about the sorrows of riches and
the joys Of poverty the Rockefellcrs
deal out the mushiest. Poverty is not a
crime and it's long ways from being
blessing. We are all-that is, if we
are worth the powder to blow lis up
with-striving to escape from it's gaunt
clutches and lay up a competence for
old age and for our children. We are
striving to earn a little more and save
little more to-day than we did yes
terday. We want our children TO be
better dressed than we were in our
boyhood days. And up and down this
sad old earth there isn't normal man
or woman who would not gladly for
