Of course I do, but I am talking about money now. Of course there are some things higher than money. Oh yes, I know by the grave that has left me standing alone that there are some things in this world that are higher and sweeter and purer than money. Well do I know there are some things higher and grander than gold. OF COURSE I DO BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT MONEY NOW OF COURSE THERE ARE SOME THINGS HIGHER THAN MONEY OH YES I KNOW BY THE GRAVE THAT HAS LEFT ME STANDING ABOVE THAT THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE HIGHER AND SWEETER AND PURER THAN MONEY WELL I DO KNOW THERE ARE SOME THINGS HIGHER AND GRANDER THAN GOLD
ese pious people to think you must be awfully poor in order to be pious. Some men say, “Don’t you sympathize with the poor people?” Of course I do, or else I would not have been lecturing these years. I won’t give in but what I sympathize with the poor, but the number of poor who are to be sympathized with is very small. To sympathize with a man whom God has punished for his sins, thus to help him when God would still continue a just punishment, is to do wrong, no doubt about it, and we do that more than we help those who are deserving. While we should sympathize with God’s poor--that is, those who cannot help themselves--let us remember there is not a poor person in the United States who was not made poor by his own shortcomings, or by the shortcomings of some one else. It is all wrong to be poor, anyhow. Let us give in to that argument and pass that to one side. A gentleman gets up back there, and says, “Don’t you think there are some things in this world that are better than money?” ODLY DUTY TO DO SO IT IS AN AWFUL MISTAKE OF THOSE PIOUS PEOPLE WHO THINK YOU MUST BE AWFULLY POOR IN ORDER TO BE PIOUS SOME MEN SAY DON'T YOU SYMPATHIZE WITH THE POOR PEOPLE OF COURSE I DO OR ELSE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LECTURING THESE YEARS I WON'T GIVE IN BUT WHAT I SYMPATHIZE WITH THE POOR BUT THE NUMBER OF POOR ARE TO BE SYMPATHIZED WITH ARE VERY SMALL TO SYMPATHIZE WITH A MAN WHOM GOD HAS PUNISHED FOR HIS SINS THUS TO HELP HIM WHEN GOD WOULD STILL CONTINUE A JUST PUNISHMENT IS TO DO WRONG NO DOUBT ABOUT IT AND WE DO MORE THAN WE HELP THOSE WHO ARE DESERVING WHILE WE SHOULD SYMPATHIZE WITH GOD'S POOR THAT IS THOSE WHO CANNOT HELP THEMSELVES LET US REMEMBER THERE IS NOT A POOR PERSON IN THE UNITED STATES WHO WAS NOT MADE POOR BY HIS OWN SHORTCOMINGS OR THE SHORTCOMINGS OF SOME ONE ELSE IT IS ALL WRONG TO BE POOR LET US GIVE INTO THE ARGUMENT AND PASS THAT TO ONE SIDE A GENTLEMAN GETS UP BACK HERE AND SAYS DON'T YOU THINK THERE ARE SOME THINGS IN THIS WORLD THAT ARE BETTER THAN MONEY
