Heal wealth consists In having plenty plen-ty of tho right kind of supplies. Poverty Is n curso, and tho poorest man Is tho paltry soul with a lot of money, CMHi-nllon means tho multiplication multiplica-tion of wants; Chrlrtlnnlty, tho Improvement Im-provement of thulr quality. Prank Crane, pastor of Union church, Worcostcr, Mass , in a recent talk on "Tho Poor I-'ool and tho Pool Ulch," said: From a good deal of religious teaching teach-ing wo gather that If you aro good jou'Il got rich, and If jou get rich I 'twill bo a great pity. Tho whole trouble lies In our definition defini-tion of riches. Riches consists not In money, but In two things, character and friendships. Dives wns n fool hocutso ho thought, when ho had beconui rich, that ho wns through, whereas to ho lich Is to bo Just begun. Thcro aro two kinds of fools nhout moiiej, tho father who burns up his llfo In getting It, nnd tho son who burns up his llfo In getting rid of It.
