Money is power, and you ought to be reasonably ambitious to have it. You ought because you can do more good with it than you could without it. Money printed your Bible, money builds your churches, money sends your missionaries, and money pays your preachers, and you would not have many of them, either, if you did not pay them. MONEY IS POWER AND YOU OUGHT TO BE REASONABLY AMBITIOUS TO HAVE IT YOU OUGHT BECAUSE YOU CAN DO MORE GOOD WITH IT THAN YOU CAN WITHOUT IT MONEY PRINTED YOUR BIBLE MONEY BUILDS YOUR CHURCHES MONEY SENDS YOUR MISSIONARIES MONEY PAYS YOUR PREACHERS AND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THEM EITHER IF YOU DID NOT PAY THEM
hia, and introduce me to the people who own their homes around this great city, those beautiful homes with gardens and flowers, those magnificent homes so lovely in their art, and I will introduce you to the very best people in character as well as in enterprise in our city, and you know I will. A man is not really a true man until he owns his own home, and they that own their homes are made more honorable and honest and pure, and true and economical and careful, by owning the home. For a man to have money, even in large sums, is not an inconsistent thing. We preach against covetousness, and you know we do, in the pulpit, and oftentimes preach against it so long and use the terms about “filthy lucre” so extremely that Christians get the idea that when we stand in the pulpit we believe it is wicked for any man to have money--until the collection-basket goes around, and then we almost swear at the people because they don’t give more money. Oh, the inconsistency of such doctrines as that!  THE SUBURBS OF PHILADELPHIA AND INTRODUCE ME TO THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THEIR HOMES AROUND THIS GREAT CITY THESE BEAUTIFUL HOMES WITH GARDENS AND FLOWERS THESE MAGNIFICENT HOMES SO LOVELY IN THEIR ART AND I WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE VERY BEST PEOPLE IN CHARACTER AS WELL AS IN ENTERPRISE IN OUR CITY AND YOU KNOW I WILL A MAN IS NOT REALLY A TRUE MAN UNTIL HE OWNS HIS OWN HOME AND THEY THAT OWN THEIR HOMES ARE MADE MORE HONOURABLE AND HONEST AND PURE AND TRUE AND ECONOMICAL AND CAREFUL BY OWNING THE HOME FOR A MAN TO HAVE MONEY EVEN IN LARGE SUMS IS AN INCONSISTENT THING WE PREACH AGAINST COVETOUSNESS AND YOU KNOW WE DO IN THE PULPIT AND OFTENTIMES PREACH AGAINST IT SO LONG AND WE USE THE TERM ABOUT FILTHY LUCRE SO EXTREMELY THAT CHRISTIANS GET THE IDEA THAT WHEN WE STAND IN THE PULPIT WE BELIEVE IT IS WICKED FOR ANY MAN TO HAVE MONEY UNTIL THE COLLECTION BASKET GOES AROUND AND THEN WE ALMOST SWEAR AT THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE MORE MONEY OR THE INCONSISTENCY OF SUCH DOTRINES AS THAT
