Hargreaves, the weaver, invented the spinning-jenny, and his
invention clothes and employs hundreds of millions.
Galileo perfected the telescope, spread out before man's
intellect the grandeur of the universe. Wilberforce helped to
awaken man's conscience. He freed millions of slaves. Columbus
gave a home to great nations. We thrive to-day because of his
noble courage. Michael Angelo and Shakespeare stirred human
genius to new efforts, and fed the human mind--a task more worthy
than the feeding of the human stomach. We ride in Fulton's
steamboats, and Watt's engine pulls us along.
Men who are truly great have DONE GOOD to their fellow-man. And
the greatest Soul ever born on earth came to urge but one thing
upon humanity, "Love one another." ----
Get money if you can. Get power if you can. Then, if you want
to be more than the ten thousand million unknown mingled in the
dust beneath you, see what good you can do with your money and
your power.
If you are one of the many millions who have not and can't get
money or power, see what good you can do without either.
You can help carry a load for an old man. You can encourage and
help a poor devil trying to reform. You can set a good example
to children. You can stick to the men with whom you work,
fighting honestly for their welfare.
