It likewise produced armies of grand citizens who have helped make America great. For instance, there was a Scot named Andrew Carnegie. During the Panic of 1893, this Scot approached a group of bankers in an Eastern city and asked for a loan of a million dollars-quick.

They stared at him in disbelief. They said, "Such a loan is unprecedented." And Andrew replied, "I aln a man who does unprecedented things." He was. And he got the loan.

This brave Scot was .ln"a*rrr,Sa be called a product of the "sweat shops." The first year he worked he got $1.20 a week, but he gave such service that for the second year they raised him to $2 a week.

But the long hours and low pay failed to embitter him, and he lived to be able to borrow a million dollars during a terrible panic, and to finally give away more money to mankind than any other who had ever lived.

Which reminds us of another great American who started small but grew big. His name was Thomas Edison. He got no education but sold papers on the streets of his home town, Detroit. He worked long hours and rested short ones. And he became one of the great men of all history, the greatest inventor of all time since the days of John Stonehatchet. Has any man done more for mankind and for civilization than this man of such severe beginnings?

This fellow lorrr, Stol"n"l"n l, just mentioned above, lived in the Stone Age, a time when everyone who grew crops broke the ground with a crooked stick. One day some neighbors dropped by and found John working a new invention of his own. He had made a plow out of a hardwood log, and had a wild bull pulling it. And he was breaking an acre a day, a miracle in those times. And those good neighbors just shook their heads and declared: "Them dadblamed new inventions will be the death of us: there's too many men unemployed new."

Then there was a man named Lincoln. who was "illhoused, ill-clothed and ill-fed" but who also did mighty well for himself, and for the world. Just another of the army of men who started small and built themselves the hard way. All of which simply means that, in our history, many men who have blessed the world with their works, started young, worked hard for little pay, and built themselves the hard way. Would it be possible, do you suppose, to build men such as Lincoln, Edison, Carnegie, and others of their kind, the easy way?

Strange, isn't it-or is it?-that almost all of the world's titans, the truly great, are from humble origins and beginnings; most of them were "ill-fed, ill-housed, and ill-clad" in the beginning. For some reason known only to Omnipotence, this is true. Great men are a hundred times more likely to come from cabins than from mansions.

Ponce de Leon roamed the world seeking the Fountain of Youth and never found it. because he failed to realize that it was right in front of his nose all the time.
