You see, my dear sir, this is not an ordinary worldly speculation. We are promoting this company--myself and a few Christian friends--not merely to earn an income for our shareholders--though that we shall do, Mr. Cherry, that we shall do--but also to benefit humanity at large. Think, Mr. Cherry, what a grand thing it will be to be helping the good cause--to be doing good among one's fellow-creatures--and at a profit, Mr. Cherry--at a very handsome profit--that's the beauty of the scheme. Mr. Cherry, as a man not altogether inexperienced in these matters, I say that never--never before has such an opportunity been presented to the investing public of combining the earthly comfort of a certain 15 per cent, dividend with the ennobling--I say the ennobling--satisfaction of furthering the cause of Heaven.
