I am only asking you, is it worth it?
Mind you, I am not speaking now as a Christian, but as a businessman.

Is it worth it ?" "I thought that perhaps, in view of the fact of our large surplus in other directions--" "Exactly," said his father, "a heavy surplus.

It is precisely on that point that I wished to speak to you this morning.

You have at present a large annual surplus, and there is every prospect under Providence--in fact, I think in any case--of it continuing for years to come.

If I may speak very frankly I should say that as long as our reverend friend, Dr.McTeague, continues in his charge of St.Osoph's--and I trust that he may be spared for many years to come--you are likely to enjoy the present prosperity of your church.
