Show REV. HUGH BIRKHEAD PREACHES ON WEALTH New York, Jan. 17. "There should be no poor. My friends, when tho eye of God is upon you. you will be glad to throw your money av ay." This was the beginning of a sermon ser-mon on "Wealth," which the Rev. IIu:h Blrkhead, rector of St. George's Episcopal church In Stuyvosant 6quare, yesterday addressed to his congregation, which includes In Its membership J. Pierpont Morgan and more than sixty other men whose wealth Is rated above the million mark. "I have been examining figures containing the payrolls of two million employe3 In the great mills." continued contin-ued Dr. Birkhead. "and have found that their wages run from $2.50 to ?10 4C a week. Why Is this so? There Is enough In this world for every one, and It In not right that some should have more than they want, while others suffer. It may result harmfully In some way to those who possess wealth." |
