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?" 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
u. I have come to tell you what in God’s sight I believe to be the truth, and if the years of life have been of any value to me in the attainment of common sense, I know I am right; that the men and women sitting here, who found it difficult perhaps to buy a ticket to this lecture or gathering to-night, have within their reach “acres of diamonds,” opportunities to get largely wealthy. There never was a place on earth more adapted than the city of Philadelphia to-day, and never in the history of the world did a poor man without capital have such an opportunity to get rich quickly and honestly as he has now in our city. I say it is the truth, and I want you to accept it as such; for if you think I have come to simply recite something, then I would better not be here. I have no time to waste in any such talk, but to say the things I believe, and unless some of you get richer for what I am saying to-night my time is wasted. I say that you ought to get rich, and it is your duty to get rich. NCES TO RECITE SOMETHING TO YOU I HAVE COME TO TELL YOU WHAT IN GOD'S SIGHTS I BELIEVE TO BE THE TRUTH AND IF THE YEARS OF LIFE HAVE BEEN OF ANY VALUE TO ME IN THE ATTAINMENT OF COMMON SENSE I KNOW I AM RIGHT THAT THE MEN AND WOMEN SITTING HERE WHO FOUND IT DIFFICULT PERHAPS TO BUY A TICKET TO THIS LECTURE OR GATHERING TO NIGHT HAVE WITHIN REACH ACRES OF DIAMONDS OPPORTUNITIES TO GET LARGELY WEALTHY THERE NEVER WAS A PLACE ON EARTH MORE ADAPTED THAN THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA TO DAY AND NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD DID THE POOR MAN WITHOUT CAPITAL HAVE SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY TO GET RICH QUICKLY AND HONESTLY AS HE HAS NOW IN OUR CITY I SAY THIS IS THE TRUTH AND I WANT YOU TO ACCEPT IT AS SUCH FOR IF YOU THINK I HAVE COME TO SIMPLY RECITE SOMETHING THEN I WOULD BETTER NOT BE HERE I HAVE NO TIME TO WASTE WITH ANY SUCH TALK BUT TO SAY THINGS I BELIEVE UNLESS SOME OF YOU GET RICHER FOR WHAT I AM SAYING TO NIGHT MY TIME IS WASTED I SAY TO YOU YOU OUGHT TO GET RICH IT IS YOUR DUTY TO GET RICH
