industrious. You spoke about man’s ambition to have money helping to make him a good man. Sir, I have come to tell you the Holy Bible says that ‘money is the root of all evil.’” I told him I had never seen it in the Bible, and advised him to go out into the chapel and get the Bible, and show me the place. So out he went for the Bible, and soon he stalked into my office with the Bible open, with all the bigoted pride of the narrow sectarian, or of one who founds his Christianity on some misinterpretation of Scripture. He flung the Bible down on my desk, and fairly squealed into my ear: “There it is, Mr. President; you can read it for yourself.” I said to him: “Well, young man, you will learn when you get a little older that you cannot trust another denomination to read the Bible for you. You belong to another denomination. You are taught in the theological school, however, that emphasis is exegesis. Now, will you take that Bible and read it yourself, and give the proper emphasis to it?”  NAME AND MADE HIM INDUSTRIOUS YOU SPOKE ABOUT MAN'S AMBITION TO HAVE MONEY HELPING TO MAKE HIM A GOOD MAN SIR I HAVE COME TO YOU TO TELL YOU THE HOLY BIBLE SAYS THAT MONEY IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL I TOLD HIM I HAD NEVER SEEN IT IN THE BIBLE AND ADVISED HIM TO GO OUT TO THE CHAPEL AND GET THE BIBLE AND SHOW ME THE PLACE SO OUT HE WENT FOR A BIBLE AND AS SOON AS HE STALKED INTO MY OFFICE WITH THE BIBLE OPEN WITH ALL THE BIGOTED PRIDE OF A NARROW SECTARIAN OR OF ONE WHO FOUNDS HIS CHRISTIANITY ON SOME MISINTERPRETATION OF SCRIPTURE HE FLUNG THE BIBLE DOWN ON MY DESK AND FAIRLY SQUEALED INTO MY EAR THERE IT IS MISTER PRESIDENT YOU CAN READ IT FOR YOURSELF I SAID TO HIM WELL YOUNG MAN YOU WILL LEARN WHEN YOU GET A LITTLE OLDER THAT YOU CANNOT TRUST ANOTHER DENOMINATION TO READ THE BIBLE FOR YOU YOU BELONG TO ANOTHER DENOMINATION YOU ARE TAUGHT IN A THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL HOWEVER THAT EMPHASIZES THE EXOGENIUS NOW YOU WILL TAKE THAT BIBLE AND READ IT YOURSELF AND GIVE IT THE PROPER EMPHASIS TO IT
