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. 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
ses himself either as being an imbecile in business, or on the road to bankruptcy, or a thief, one of the three, sure. He will fail within a very few years. He certainly will if he doesn’t carry his religion into business. If I had been carrying on my father’s store on a Christian plan, godly plan, I would have had a jack-knife for the third man when he called for it. Then I would have actually done him a kindness, and I would have received a reward myself, which it would have been my duty to take. There are some over-pious 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. Y RELIGION INTO BUSINESS HE ADVERTISES HIMSELF EITHER AS BEING AN IMBECILE IN BUSINESS OR ON THE ROAD TO BANKRUPTCY OR A THIEF ONE OF THE THREE SURE HE WILL FAIL WITHIN A VERY FEW YEARS HE CERTAINLY WILL IF HE DOESN'T CARRY HIS RELIGION INTO BUSINESS IF I HAD BEEN CARRYING ON MY FATHER'S STORE ON A CHRISTIAN PLAN GODLY PLAN I WOULD HAVE HAD A JACKKNIFE FOR THE THIRD MAN WHEN HE CALLED FOR IT THEN I WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY DONE HIM A KINDNESS AND I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED REWARD MYSELF WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DUTY TO TAKE THERE ARE 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
