Some young man here to night will say, "Well they could make those fortunes over in New York but they could not do it in Philadelphia!" SOME YOUNG MEN HERE TO NIGHT WILL SAY WELL THEY COULD MAKE THAT FORTUNE IN NEW YORK BUT THEY COULD NOT DO IT IN PHILADELPHIA
ere you are most needed. A. T. Stewart went on that principle until he was worth what amounted afterward to forty millions of dollars, owning the very store in which Mr. Wanamaker carries on his great work in New York. His fortune was made by his losing something, which taught him the great lesson that he must only invest himself or his money in something that people need. When will you salesmen learn it? When will you manufacturers learn that you must know the changing needs of humanity if you would succeed in life? Apply yourselves, all you Christian people, as manufacturers or merchants or workmen to supply that human need. It is a great principle as broad as humanity and as deep as the Scripture itself. The best illustration I ever heard was of John Jacob Astor. You know that he made the money of the Astor family when he lived in New York. He came across the sea in debt for his fare. But that poor boy with nothing in his pocket made the fortune of the Astor family on one principle. WHERE IT IS MOST NEEDED A T STUART WENT ON THAT PRINCIPLE UNTIL HE WAS WORTH WHAT AMOUNTED AFTERWARD TO FORTY MILLIONS OF DOLLARS OWNING THE VERY STORE IN WHICH MISTER WANA MAKER CARRIES ON HIS GREAT WORK IN NEW YORK THIS FORTUNE WAS MADE BY HIS LOSING SOMETHING WHICH TAUGHT HIM THE GREAT LESSON THAT HE MUST ONLY INVEST HIMSELF OR HIS MONEY IN SOMETHING THAT PEOPLE NEED WHEN WILL YOU SALESMEN LEARN THAT WHEN WILL YOU MANUFACTURERS LEARN THAT YOU MUST KNOW THE CHANGING NEEDS OF HUMANITY IF YOU WOULD SUCCEED IN LIFE APPLY YOURSELVES ALL YOU CHRISTIAN PEOPLE AS MANUFACTURERS OR MERCHANTS OR WORKMEN TO SUPPLY THAT HUMAN NEED THAT IS A GREAT PRINCIPLE AS BROAD AS HUMANITY AND AS DEEP AS THE SCRIPTURE ITSELF THE BEST ILLUSTRATION I HAVE EVER HEARD WAS OF JOHN JACOB ASTOR YOU KNOW THAT HE MADE HIS MONEY OF THE ASTOR FAMILY AND WHEN HE LIVED IN NEW YORK HE CAME ACROSS THE SEA IN DEBT FOR HIS FARE BUT THAT POOR BOY WITH NOTHING IN HIS POCKET MADE THE FORTUNE OF THE ASTOR FAMILY ON ONE PRINCIPLE
