That is why they are rich. That is why they are trusted with money. That is why they carry on great enterprises and find plenty of people to work with them. It is because they are honest men. Says another young man, "I hear sometimes of men that get millions of dollars dishonestly." THAT IS WHY THEY ARE RICH THAT IS WHY THEY ARE TRUSTED WITH MONEY THAT IS WHY THEY CARRY ON GREAT ENTERPRISES AND FIND PLENTY OF PEOPLE TO WORK WITH THEM IT IS BECAUSE THEY ARE HONEST MEN SAYS ANOTHER YOUNG MAN I HEAR SOMETIMES OF MEN THAT GET MILLIONS OF DOLLARS DISHONESTLY
 say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich. How many of my pious brethren say to me, “Do you, a Christian minister, spend your time going up and down the country advising young people to get rich, to get money?” “Yes, of course I do.” They say, “Isn’t that awful! Why don’t you preach the gospel instead of preaching about man’s making money?” “Because to make money honestly is to preach the gospel.” That is the reason. The men who get rich may be the most honest men you find in the community. “Oh,” but says some young man here to-night, “I have been told all my life that if a person has money he is very dishonest and dishonorable and mean and contemptible.” My friend, that is the reason why you have none, because you have that idea of people. The foundation of your faith is altogether false. Let me say here clearly, and say it briefly, though subject to discussion which I have not time for here, ninety-eight out of one hundred of the rich men of America are honest. TO NIGHT MY TIME IS WASTED I SAY TO YOU YOU OUGHT TO GET RICH IT IS YOUR DUTY TO GET RICH HOW MANY OF MY PIOUS BRETHREN SAY TO ME DO YOU A CHRISTIAN MINISTER SPEND YOUR TIME GOING UP AND DOWN THE COUNTRY ADVISING YOUNG PEOPLE TO GET RICH TO GET MONEY YES OF COURSE I DO THEY SAY ISN'T THAT AWFUL WHY DON'T YOU PREACH THE GOSPEL INSTEAD OF PREACHING ABOUT MAN'S MAKING MONEY BECAUSE TO MAKE MONEY HONESTLY IS TO PREACH THE GOSPEL THAT IS THE REASON AND MEN WHO GET RICH MAY BE THE MOST HONEST MEN YOU WILL FIND IN THE COMMUNITY OH BUT SAYS SOME YOUNG MAN HERE TO NIGHT I HAVE BEEN TOLD ALL MY LIFE THAT IF A PERSON HAS MONEY HE IS VERY DISHONEST AND DISHONORABLE AND MEAN AND CONTEMPTIBLE MY FRIEND THAT IS THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE NONE BECAUSE YOU HAVE THAT IDEA OF PEOPLE THE FOUNDATION OF YOUR FAITH IS ALTOGETHER FALSE LET ME SAY HERE CLEARLY AND LET ME SAY IT BRIEFLY THOUGH SUBJECT TO DISCUSSION WHICH I HAVE NOT TIME FOR HERE NINETY EIGHT OUT OF ONE HUNDRED OF THE RICH MEN OF AMERICA ARE HONEST
