Richard Roseney with contributions from McKenzie

After all, why should commerce be excluded from the domain of Christianity? Why not trade in a Christian spirit? Why not put religion first in commerce as in all else? Imagine what a great commercial nation might be, if service and not gain were made the end of trade, if people manufactured and sold for the good of man and the honor of his Maker, if every trade put self last and the public good first. But self will leave everything before it leaves trade. It is leaving,—not exactly politics,—but polity. Self must leave every art before it can approach success: it must leave every great profession too. Art followed for gain is impossible,—it carries its own death-warrant in its heart. Some day gain will cease to be the first aim even of trade.—Richard Roseney.

No one has ever heard the Bible except it has been read to him by the Holy Spirit.—Dr. McKenzie.
