That means only that the spiritual is dominant in a material w^orld. The man who is ever looking for the main chance is the final loser of the game. Greed pois- ons itself and dies. The pluto- crat is pulling against the cur- rent. Great wealth in cind of it- self today often is regarded by [32] society as a handicap to a man or an institution. The good that money will do is limited. The good that a man may do is lim- ited only by his talents. Per- haps Mr. Roosevelt is wrong in some of his ten...ets. But right or wrong, he has inspired more men to righteousness in public life than a millionaire could call forth with the millions of Wall street. And all the king's horses and all the king's men cannot put America back to the lower ideals of the past cen- tury. The gain is permanent because our sensibilities have in- [33] creased in matters political. And Mr. Roosevelt, who has promoted the progress of his country, manifestly is exult- ant and happy, while those who have devoted their lives to games of greed before all the w^orld are seeking happiness in mere pleasure and "dig for it more than for hid treasures." Wherever we look in this world with clear eyes, w^hether w^e see great movements or great men, we find the cycle of the spirit- ual enfolding the cycle of the material.
