We preach against covetousness, and you know we do, in the pulpit, and oftentimes preach against it so long and use the terms about "filthy lucre" so extremely that Christians get the idea that when we stand in the pulpit we believe it is wicked for any man to have money  until the collection basket goes around, and then we almost swear at the people because they don't give more money. WE PREACH AGAINST COVETOUSNESS AND YOU KNOW WE DO IN THE PULPIT AND OFTENTIMES PREACH AGAINST IT SO LONG AND WE USE THE TERM ABOUT FILTHY LUCRE SO EXTREMELY THAT CHRISTIANS GET THE IDEA THAT WHEN WE STAND IN THE PULPIT WE BELIEVE IT IS WICKED FOR ANY MAN TO HAVE MONEY UNTIL THE COLLECTION BASKET GOES AROUND AND THEN WE ALMOST SWEAR AT THE PEOPLE BECAUSE THEY DON'T GIVE MORE MONEY
em. It is because they are honest men. Says another young man, “I hear sometimes of men that get millions of dollars dishonestly.” Yes, of course you do, and so do I. But they are so rare a thing in fact that the newspapers talk about them all the time as a matter of news until you get the idea that all the other rich men got rich dishonestly. My friend, you take and drive me--if you furnish the auto--out into the suburbs of Philadelphia, and introduce me to the people who own their homes around this great city, those beautiful homes with gardens and flowers, those magnificent homes so lovely in their art, and I will introduce you to the very best people in character as well as in enterprise in our city, and you know I will. A man is not really a true man until he owns his own home, and they that own their homes are made more honorable and honest and pure, and true and economical and careful, by owning the home. For a man to have money, even in large sums, is not an inconsistent thing. NTY 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 YES OF COURSE YOU DO AND SO DO I BUT THEY ARE THE RARE THING IN FACT THAT THE NEWSPAPERS TALK ABOUT THEM ALL THE TIME AS A MATTER OF NEWS UNTIL YOU GET THE IDEA THAT ALL OF THE OTHER RICH MEN GOT RICH DISHONESTLY MY FRIEND YOU TAKE AND DRIVE ME IF YOU FURNISH THE AUTO OUT TO THE SUBURBS OF PHILADELPHIA AND INTRODUCE ME TO THE PEOPLE WHO OWN THEIR HOMES AROUND THIS GREAT CITY THESE BEAUTIFUL HOMES WITH GARDENS AND FLOWERS THESE MAGNIFICENT HOMES SO LOVELY IN THEIR ART AND I WILL INTRODUCE YOU TO THE VERY BEST PEOPLE IN CHARACTER AS WELL AS IN ENTERPRISE IN OUR CITY AND YOU KNOW I WILL A MAN IS NOT REALLY A TRUE MAN UNTIL HE OWNS HIS OWN HOME AND THEY THAT OWN THEIR HOMES ARE MADE MORE HONOURABLE AND HONEST AND PURE AND TRUE AND ECONOMICAL AND CAREFUL BY OWNING THE HOME FOR A MAN TO HAVE MONEY EVEN IN LARGE SUMS IS AN INCONSISTENT THING
