One of the Most Interesting Addresses

Make Money Honestly and With
Whom Can Trust Wife and Babes.

New York, May 40, this is the
man that made not God his strength,
but trusted in his abundance and his
riches mi strengthened himself in his
~wickedness."
A Good Sermon.
Taking the SD Psalm as his text,
John D. Rockefeller, jr., addressed the
young's mems Bible class of the Fifth
Avenue Baptist church 70 rthe first
time in several months yesterday, and
his talk was remarked as one of the
most interesting he ever delivered be-
fore the class, particularly as he
spoke of the accumulation of wealth
and deplored the present-day tendency
to obtain power and riches by means
not always legitimate. There is no
sin" he said, in accommodating wealth
in an honest and legitimate manner
and using that wealth r%ightfully."
The Right Kind of Men.
Rockefeller drew the picture of a
need for men who make a little money.

always be trusted to do the right thing,
no matter what happens-men with
