Philosopher's Stone that turns all metal and even stones into gold, and<br />

allows no poverty to break into its dwellings. It is the Northwest<br />

Passage that brings the merchant's ships as soon to him as he can<br />

desire. In a word, industry conquers all enemies and makes fortune<br />

itself pay contribution."<br />

The world owes no man a living. The Creator has made it possible for<br />

every man, not only to earn a living, but make a contribution to the vast<br />

store of wealth needed by an expanding and oncoming civilization.<br />

Dr. Ray has said: "I persuade myself that the Author of man's being is<br />

well pleased with the industry of man in adorning the earth with<br />

beautiful cities, with pleasant villages and country houses, with gardens<br />

and orchards and plantations, with pastures clothed with flocks and<br />

meadows richly carpeted, and whatever else that makes a difference<br />

between a civilized and well-cultivated region--and a barren and<br />

desolate wilderness."<br />

What but labor, hard, persistent application to the task, could bring<br />

about a change so well described? Every stroke of the ax, every spade<br />

diligently used, all efforts vigorously prosecuted, have their reward.<br />

Not by a scheme,<br />

not by the visionary coming of Dame Fortune to your door,<br />

not by the death of some wealthy relative,<br />

nor the lucky discovery of some gold-field,<br />

nor the successful patenting and sale of some invention<br />

--does wealth bring its sweetest or largest gifts; but by the hand of the<br />

diligent, the well-directed, unremitting toil of the individual workman,<br />

"whose setting sun sees some task completed, whose early rising saw it<br />

first begun."<br />
