III. Christian Beatitude
All bow down before wealth.
Wealth is that to which the multitude of men pay an instinctive homage. They
measure happiness by wealth; and by wealth they measure respectability…. It
is a homage resulting from a profound faith … that with wealth he may do all
things. Wealth is one idol of the day and notoriety is a second…. Notoriety,
or the making of a noise in the world – it may be called “newspaper
fame” – has come to be considered a great good in itself, and a ground of
veneration.24
