thize with the poor peopleZ" Of course l do. Don't you think there are some greater things in this world2 I have been asked. Money is power, money is force. money will do good as well as harm.
 Taking a quotation from the Bible. The love of money Is the root of all evil. the lecturer said it is true we should not take money and idolize iC as the miser who 6QueeZes the almighty dollar until the eagle screams. have lived through 50 years of the mighties-
 battle that old Book has ever fought. and I have lived to see its banners fly ing free, for never in the history of the
 world did the great minds of the earth
 so universally agree that the Bible is
 true, all true, as they do at this hour. To live and let live is the principle of
 the gospel and the principle of every common day sense Young man, hear
 me; live as you go alone. Do not wait until you have reached my years before
 you begin to enjoy anything of this | life You hear people say if I only had | capital but I say unto you there isl | no necessity of it. Dr. Conwsl by c | series of illustrations brought out his i point clearly It is no help to a young | man or woman to Inherit money. The
 moment a young man or woman gets more money than he or she has grown | to by practical experience. that mo- ment he or she has received a curse. One thing that is a secret of success in business life, or any other walk of what the people need, and then invest yourself where you are most needed Apply yourselves as manufacturers or merchants or workmen to supply the human need. It is a great principle as
 broad as humanity and as deep as the scripture itself. The richest men in
 America made their money in small cities and go to the big cities to spend | it. You look right over your chin fin your own vision and make a fortune.
 You say woman can't get rich, but it
 is they who have added great inven-
 tions. Who are the great inventors of
 the world? The great inventor may
 sit next to you. or you are the person
 yourself. Who can tell?
 | There are as great men in Norwich
 now as ever there were, and why is it that Norwich has not grown to be a city of 5OO,00O people? It is because the people of Norwich have talked
 down their town instead of boosting it. , The people of Norwich and the news papers of Norwich want to get together . and boost and then you will have g population of 100000 of the brightest in the land.
 pr. ConweI told of his two visits tc } the White House. the first time on ofh- , cial duty and the second at the funeral ? of our great martyr president As
 gazed down into the coffin on to the 7 face of Abraham Lincoln felt the mar , saw so short a time before, so sim
 pie man, so plain a man, was one ol the greatest men that God ever raised up to lead a nation to ultimate liberty And from the life of Lincoln we ge'
 one great rule. which is: Whatsoevel [ he had to do at all. he put his whol, s mind into. and held 1t until that was al 2 done, and, following that principle g great men will be made anywhere. Dr. Conwell related an experience o I his when a young man. A certain mar ] | thought he was great because he heiS J an office. and consequently Dr. Conwel I drew lesson. which is great ness con l slsts not In holding offices but reali, e consists in doing great deeds, with lit i tie means, and the accomplishments O ,. vast purposes from the private rank | of life
