ILL.,. 0llDI UeEtlI Will III Iluti~
Chenr's in:ar.ablc query when an
American dignitary a introduced to
him on his tour Of tho United States
back in tho Dos. The idea Of personal
worth was the same in China and the
United States Mt that time. and 1t was
statablc in terms OF dollars and cents
only. Since then. he showed, tho
value of n man i'll his relationships
has become tho measure OF what he
is worth.
Wealth is not to be d~isparagcd. he
said. for to Go that would be to take
away the great incentive to ambition,
to thrift. to economy and the develop
mcnt or the world. However. when Il
man has ITO other worth than money
itself. he is to be pitied beyond the
man with no money. provided the lat
ter has an intellectual idealism and a
soulful desire for the higher things Of
life.
In this sense poverty is going to
be 9 disgrace and eve a crime in the
near future. said DR.. Short. This is an
age Of too many opportunities for a
man to remain poor.
Short ON Salary. Long ON Use
The men Of the ministry afforded
him an example to elucidate this idea.
Though they Get small salaries 1t is
seldom that they fail to educate their
children out Of their stipends and he
recalled one minister who on a salary
of $1,000 put ten sons through col
lcRe.
The doctor tried to apply the idea
to his audience. but he could not raise
anyone with ten ons to supply his IL
l~ustration. =
Real use of money in part was dis
tribution. he said. That Is distribu-
ton where many individuals. as en-.
ploycs. have assisted In the accumu-
lation of business wealth. He cited
Moses hamburger Of Newark. who
the other day. after selling hts bust.
ness for sos .O00. 1000, called in his mail
assistants and divided 1000. 00t
among them. This. he said. vas thu
new principle: Those who assist II
building up big business and indus.
trial fortunes should some day share
In the wealth so accumulated by
life Of service and loyalty.
Or there is another way. Why Il
John D. Rockefeller no longer re.
viled? The sentiment Of the world
has yeered. due to the example ol
rich men making benevolent uses Of
their millions.
Or. Short found fault with what he
