It i e not the possession of vast wealth, bu h the use we make of it that is of th e highest importance. Wealth is s trust, and the larger our means th greater our responsibilities. Ho1 e some of our national wealth is spec il may be gathered from thjese figures ;, compiled from recent statistics: I, Foreign missions $ 12,000,00 3. Chewing gums 13,000,0 e Patent medicines 80,000,00 o Millinery 90,000,00 Tea and coffee 100,000,00 : Confectionery 2.00,000,00 Religion (churches, etc.)250,000,00 ; Automobiles 500,000,00 r Jewelry and ornaments 800,000,00 v. Intoxicating liquors ....2,500,000,00 s These are mainly outside of ordir n ary expenditures in home or bus > ness, which, of course, cannot eve !S be approximated. There are couni i- less forms of pleasure, too?som a innocent and others the reversewhich cannot be computed in fi? i- ures. But the showing as it stand is one that may well give rise to th t- question whether, as a nation, w )- are making the best uses of our oi n portunities.
