Do not wait until you have reached my years before you begin to enjoy anything of this life. If I had the millions back, or fifty cents of it, which I have tried to earn in these years, it would not do me anything like the good that it does me now in this almost sacred presence to night. Oh, yes, I am paid over and over a hundredfold to night for dividing as I have tried to do in some measure as I went along through the years. DO NOT WAIT UNTIL YOU HAVE REACHED MY YEARS BEFORE YOU BEGIN TO ENJOY ANYTHING IN THIS LIFE IF I HAD THE MILLIONS BACK OR FIFTY CENTS OF IT WHICH I HAVE TRIED TO EARN IN THESE YEARS IT WOULD NOT DO ME ANYTHING LIKE THE GOOD IT DOES ME NOW IN THIS ALMOST SACRED PRESENCE TO NIGHT OH YES I AM PAID OVER A HUNDREDFOLD TO NIGHT FOR DIVIDING AS I HAVE TRIED TO DO SO IN SOME MEASURE AS I WENT ALONG THROUGH THE YEARS
Christian people who think if you take any profit on anything you sell that you are an unrighteous man. On the contrary, you would be a criminal to sell goods for less than they cost. You have no right to do that. You cannot trust a man with your money who cannot take care of his own. You cannot trust a man in your family that is not true to his own wife. You cannot trust a man in the world that does not begin with his own heart, his own character, and his own life. It would have been my duty to have furnished a jack-knife to the third man, or the second, and to have sold it to him and actually profited myself. I have no more right to sell goods without making a profit on them than I have to overcharge him dishonestly beyond what they are worth. But I should so sell each bill of goods that the person to whom I sell shall make as much as I make. To live and let live is the principle of the gospel, and the principle of every-day common sense. Oh, young man, hear me; live as you go along. E SOME OVERPOWIOUS CHRISTIAN PEOPLE WHO THINK IF THEY TAKE A PROFIT ON ANYTHING YOU SELL YOU ARE AN UNRIGHTEOUS MAN ON THE CONTRARY YOU WOULD BE A CRIMINAL TO SELL GOODS FOR LESS THAN THEY COST YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO DO THAT YOU CANNOT TRUST A MAN WITH YOUR MONEY WHO CANNOT TAKE CARE OF HIS OWN YOU CANNOT TRUST A MAN IN YOUR FAMILY WHO IS NOT TRUE TO HIS OWN WIFE YOU CANNOT TRUST A MAN IN THE WORLD WHO DOES NOT BEGIN WITH HIS OWN HEART HIS OWN CHARACTER AND HIS OWN LIFE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DUTY TO HAVE FURNISHED A JACKKNIFE TO THE THIRD MAN OR THE SECOND AND TO HAVE SOLD AT HIM AND ACTUALLY PROFITED MYSELF I WOULD HAVE NO MORE RIGHT TO SELL GOODS WITHOUT MAKING A PROFIT ON THEM THAN I WOULD HAVE TO OVERCHARGE HIM DISHONESTLY BEYOND WHAT THEY ARE WORTH BUT I SHOULD SO SELL EACH BILL OF GOODS THAT THE PERSON TO WHOM I SELL SHALL MAKE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO LIVE AND LET LIVE IS THE PRINCIPLE OF THE GOSPEL AND THE PRINCIPLE OF EVERY DAY COMMON SENSE O YOUNG MAN HEAR ME LIVE AS YOU GO ALONG
