y, 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?” 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?” Y 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 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
