COLONEL DoTY's ADDRESS.
Your Grace, Your Lordship, Ladies
and Gentlemen:
BY reason of your invitation to
speak tonight | assume you are in
terested in a statement of business.
There is a relation between a great
cathedral and great business. A
cathedral as a building has firm
/ foundation, strength and beauty of
material of construction, appropriate
design and successful workmanship.
Complete it represents the harmony
of material, labor and design, frozen
music architecture has been called,
and stands as monument of gener-
osity and sacrifice to its builders.
/ The business men of ST. Paul no less
| than other citizens have distinct in
4 terest in the, construction of your
/ beautiful cathedral on st. Anthony
Hill, and are glad of the opportunity
/ to testify to their interest at this
meeting tonight.
i A business should have firm foun-
ldation, and a business mans great
asset is character, for credit is based
largely on character, and credit is the
life blood of business. "His word is
as good as his bond" is tribute to
the business man of character. Bust
mess to be successful must be the re-
suit of planning and work. Business
i success does not simply happen. It
is built brick by brick, block by block,
and the material and workmanship
must pass many an inspectors test.
And if the business is finally built it
J will stand as monument OF many
sacrifices and much work.
!, Statistics are carefully compiled and
: frequently published which serve as
a barometer of business conditions.
| The financial columns Of the daily pa
, pers are mines of information to the
J business man. The successful man
will watch the index Of commodity
prices, bank clearings, foreign trade,
exports and imports, the railroad bust
ness both in gross and net earnings,
iron and steel production, the gen.
eral condition of credit men shown by
the statement of the national banks
to the Comptroller. He will also keep
a watchful eye on building and real
estate operations, money in circula-
ton per capita, the volume of stock
exchange transactions, and the vol
ume of new securities issued
No business man afford to overlook
the barometer of political conditions.
What we need most at present is res
toration of confidence, renewed cred
it in enterprises of character. to set
the wheels of industry in motion. This
can come from the clearing of politi-
cal clouds. A short platform based on
language most familiar to a gathering
of churchmen-Lead us not into
temptation, deliver us from evil, give
us this day our daily breads rec
commended to the consideration of po-
litical parties.
While business men look upon crops,
money and politics as the three most
important topics, they would do well
to add social and religious tendencies
as material for use in determining the
trend of business.
One more thought | would leave
with you tonight. AS a people we
reverence the priest and pay honor to
the soldier. We know in their lives
they embody not only the spirit of
service, but the spirit of service with
sacrifice. There is great difference
Many of us do. all of us should in our
daily life, give service to our fellow
l men, but how much greater the worth
! of the man or woman who gives the
full measure of service with sacrifice.
: So in the building of this great ca
2 thedral, all should be of service, but
greater will be your reward in service
] and sacrifice.
4 BISHOP LAWYERS ADDRESS.

to our minds an idea of the wealth

great Cathedrals and churches OF the
world While admiring the diadem
OF ecclesiastical gems with which

> Cathedral is not dimmed We are
animated by the high resolve to make
our own Cathedral as grand as the
!. grandest before placing it on the brow
of our fair city.
