Well, now, how simple a thing it is to see where it is, and the instant you see where it is it is yours. Some old gentleman gets up back there and says, "Mr. Conwell, have you lived in Philadelphia for thirty one years and don't know that the time has gone by when you can make anything in this city?" "No, I don't think it is." "Yes, it is; I have tried it." "What business are you in?" "I kept a store here for twenty years, and never made over a thousand dollars in the whole twenty years." WELL NOW HOW SIMPLE A THING IT IS TO SEE WHERE IT IS THE INSTANT YOU SEE WHERE IT IS IT IS YOURS SOME OLD GENTLEMAN GETS UP THERE IN BACK AND SAYS MISTER CONWELL HAVE YOU LIVED IN PHILADELPHIA FOR FORTY ONE YEARS AND YOU DON'T KNOW THAT THE TIME HAS GONE WHEN YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING IN THIS CITY NO I DON'T THINK IT IS YES IT IS I HAVE TRIED IT WHAT BUSINESS ARE YOU IN I KEPT A STORE HERE FOR TWENTY YEARS AND NEVER MADE OVER A THOUSAND DOLLARS IN THE WHOLE TWENTY YEARS
ds of earth so universally agree that the Bible is true--all true--as they do at this very hour. So I say that when he quoted right, of course he quoted the absolute truth. “The love of money is the root of all evil.” He who tries to attain unto it too quickly, or dishonestly, will fall into many snares, no doubt about that. The love of money. What is that? It is making an idol of money, and idolatry pure and simple everywhere is condemned by the Holy Scriptures and by man’s common sense. The man that worships the dollar instead of thinking of the purposes for which it ought to be used, the man who idolizes simply money, the miser that hordes his money in the cellar, or hides it in his stocking, or refuses to invest it where it will do the world good, that man who hugs the dollar until the eagle squeals has in him the root of all evil. I think I will leave that behind me now and answer the question of nearly all of you who are asking, “Is there opportunity to get rich in Philadelphia?” RY OF THIS WORLD DID THE GREAT MINDS OF EARTH SO UNIVERSALLY AGREE THAT THE BIBLE IS TRUE ALL TRUE AS THEY DO AT THIS VERY HOUR SO I SAY THAT WHEN HE QUOTED RIGHT OF COURSE HE QUOTED THE ABSOLUTE TRUTH THE LOVE OF MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL HE WHO TRIES TO ATTAIN UNTO IT TOO QUICKLY OR DISHONESTLY WILL FAIL INTO THE MANY SNARES NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT THE LOVE OF MONEY WHAT IS THAT IT IS MAKING AN IDOL OF MONEY AN IDOLRY PURE AND SIMPLE EVERYWHERE HAS CONDEMNED BY THE HOLY SCRIPTURES AND BY MAN'S COMMON SENSE THE MAN THAT WORSHIPS THE DOLLAR INSTEAD OF THINKING OF ITS PURPOSES FOR WHICH IT OUGHT TO BE USED THE MAN WHO IDOLIZES SIMPLY MONEY THE MISER THAT HORSES MONEY IN THE CELLAR OR HIDES IT IN A STOCKING OR REFUSES TO INVEST IT WHERE IT WILL DO THE WORLD GOOD THAT MAN WHO HUGS THE DOLLAR UNTIL THE EAGLE SQUEALS IN HIM THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL I THINK I WILL LEAVE THAT BEHIND NOW AND ANSWER THE QUESTION OF NEARLY ALL OF YOU WHO ARE ASKING IS THERE AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET RICH IN PHILADELPHIA
