"The sun shines Just the same, the birds sing just the same, the flowers bloom lust the same, all nature is Just the same. We hare this fair world Just tho same with tts blue skies and Its green grass, and Us privileges .pf ; Jiving, loving, helping and working. . "Thia adare ' ls mostly about the CStortage ot surplus dollars ia our pockets, lt is wonderful how little money we really use and how much we board. With a dol?ar lb our hand we own the earth and the fullness thereof, and this earth today is a greater paradise than Adam's. "Why, with a dollar in ipy hand, with God on his throne, with Uncle 8am on his Job, I am a millionaire stockholder in everything. I don't own what I hoard, but what I enjoy, r own the Piedmont hotel for a dollar or two a day. Yon can't eat the hotel or stick lt in your pocket, you Just own the living tn lt "I own The Atlanta Constitution tor a nickel. I own the 'Atlanta Street railway for a nickel. I own every train that cornea into Atlanta for two or three cents a mile! - "Adam owned tho earth and the full ness thereof, without a dollar ia his pocket. He didn't have a pocket But when lie got greedy and tried to cor ner even the forbidden fruit, ho got into the Drat finan?ai panic, lost his paradise and began tc wear a pocket, and after ho got .a pocket he got the 'idea he only owned what he put in his pocket Thai's the'why or this pres ent hard times-the pockety What We Have.
