It is vanity, it is avarice, it is luxury, it is the god of this world, that urges to demand more. And it is vain to think of finding any thing very valuable in the mind of a covetous man. Avarice is generally the vice of abject spirits. Men who have a great talent for making money, commonly have no other; for the man who began with nothing, and has accumulated wealth, has been too busy to think of improving his mind, or indeed, to think of anything else but property."

"There is no greater sign of a mean and sordid spirit," says Cicero, "than to doat upon riches, nor is any thing more magnificent, than to lay them out freely in acts of bounty and liberality."

Avarice, covetousness, is eating out the heart of the nation. These worshippers at the shrine of Mammon seem in as hot pursuit after money as a pack of hungry wolves after the lost and fleeing traveller. Avarice drives the rich. Necessity drives the poor, and neither are happy. O, for some Heavenly Evangel to lead the nations into a higher and nobler life! Descend! descend. Spirit of Peace and Love, upon this unrighteous world. Sway thy sceptre from the sea to the mountains, and from the rivers to the ends of the earth!
