...falling man here with material aid, and to cure a sick child there. Fourth, and most important of all, there is no interference with speculative thought. The speculative thought, the philosophy, is for the few, but religion is for all. Let each one speculate as he likes. The kingdom of heaven has twelve gates, and every gate is a pearl. It matters not through which gate you pass. Your Sunday school teacher may enter through one, your friend through another.

...usual audience gathered last evening in Appleton Chapel to hear Rev. George A. Gordon. He spoke from the text, I Samuel, ix, 3; and x, 1; Saul sought an ass, said the preacher, and found a kingdom. There is many a man who seeks a kingdom and finds an ass.

Men say, indeed, that self-interest is king in this domain of business and the Christian law does not apply to the factory and the counting-room. Business is business. This common sentiment of the street takes its rise from Adam Smith and his school, whose false a priori assumption that self-interest is supreme over benevolence dominated economic theories for 100 years and whose bitter fruits we are still reaping, since such doctrine finds congenial soil in the natural heart. Smith and his contemporaries...
