As for me, I want no new theories about the Bible--no new versions--no new criticisms. No man has a right to weaken the faith of others. No man has a right to knock away the staff that supports the crippled wayfarer. And no man has a right to tell an aged mother that it does no good to give her boy a Bible unless he can suggest a better substitute. Destroy the old-fashioned idea concerning the Bible, and we shall have a nation of infidels defying God, defying the law, and repeating the licentiousness and horrors of the French Revolution. We should make the Bible first in all things. Make the Bible first in the family, in the Sunday-school and church, make it first in state and society, and we shall have a Republic that will grow brighter and brighter as the years come and go, and then we “shall go out with joy, and be lead forth with peace: and the mountains and the hills shall break forth before us into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.” [Illustration: CARNEGIE LIBRARY, WASHINGTON, D. C. COLORED PEOPLE ARE WELCOME HERE.] Andrew Carnegie, Greatest Philanthropist of the Age, who has climbed from the position of messenger boy and telegraph operator to become America’s richest steel manufacturer, a Multi-Millionaire, has given practically every large city that would accept it, a Library for the general public, averaging in value $500,000.00. His gifts have had enormous money value, but the value to humanity cannot be estimated. ANDREW CARNEGIE’S ADVICE TO YOUNG MEN. “Do not make riches, but usefulness, your first aim, and let your chief pride by that your daily occupation is in the line of progress and development; that your work, in whatever capacity it may be, is useful work, honestly conducted, and as such ennobles your life. “Whatever your salary be, save a little; live within your means. The man who saves a little from his income has given the surest indication of the very qualities that every employer is seeking for. “The great successes of life are made by concentration. Do not think you have done your full duty when you have performed the work assigned you. You will never rise if you only do this. “You hear a good deal about poverty nowadays, and the cry goes up to abolish poverty, but it will be the saddest day of civilization when poverty is no longer with us. It is from the soil of poverty that all the virtues spring. Without poverty, where will your inventor, your artist, your philanthropist, come from? “There are three classes of young men in the world. One starts out to be a millionaire. Another seeks reputation, perhaps at the cannon’s mouth. A third young man, who will be successful, is he who starts out in life with self-respect and who is true to himself and his fellow-men. He cannot fail to win.” DIRECTIONS FOR LITTLE GENTLEMEN.
