The World's Intoxication with Money

In the New York World an enterprising lady reporter is giving from Sunday to Sunday, pen-and-pencil sketches of her interviews with some of the leading financiers and business men of to-day. One of the most impressive things in her articles is the description of the rush and drive that these men put into their intense pursuit of money. The world is intoxicated with the craze for money. People seem to think that if they could only get enough money, they would be at the top round of enjoyment, and in the rush to get gain they forget everything else. How awful will be the awakening in a short time, when their career will be cut short by the trumpet notes of the Archangel as He comes to earth in person to sound the knell of all these follies and begin His reign of righteousness!
