He might have. by dint OF control
ling transportation, cotton a monopoly
on whatever kind of oil they used in
those days.
But Saul of Tarsus. becoming Paul
the apostle, wanted none of those
things. He even supported himself
while preaching by working at hts
trade as a tent-maker.
He wanted miilions-but millions OF
souls, His was a nobler ambition than
dollar grabbing-and his name will be
coupled with that Of the Master he
served through time and eternity by
uncounted multitudes who trace their
spiritual genealogy back to the great
apostle TO the Gentiles.
What doth it profit a man If he
gain the whole world and lose his
own soul7 What doth 1t profit a man
If he become so immersed with the
increase OF his own goods that he
fail TO take heed Of world suffering
and dying around him?
That same Paul whose head fell
before Roman headsman, has left an
impress on the world no captain of
industry can ever approach. His
achievements for mankind show us
how little worthy Of comparison
thereto are the deeds of the so-called
heroes of history, whose ambitions
led men to death, or the deeds of the
great men of business, whose profits
constitute their principal, II not their
only title to place in the worlds hall
Of fame.
