408 APPENDIX D. 



neither increase nor diminish, only occupy and enjoy, or waste 

 and misemploy, belong entirely to the first group. 



Riches and Labor, wholly the result of effort, as evidently 

 belong wholly to the second group. 



Educated Mind and Exercised Body belong to both groups. 

 Mind and Body undeveloped belong to the first group, for they 

 are bestowed ; developed by Education and Exercise, they be- 

 long to the second group, for they are then the result of effort. 

 In a tabular view the groups of elements are thus presented :

[ Riches. 



Attainable Wealth Unequal. 



As Mind and Body are bestowed unequally, it follows that 

 the measure of Wealth attainable by different persons will be 

 unequal. 



The practical fact, however, is, that most of the inequality 

 is owing not to the inequality of bestowments, but to the non 

 or improper use of them. 



No one thing makes a greater difference in the Wealth of 

 men than the manner in which time is used. To one man, from 

 morning till night, each moment drags its flow length along ; 

 while to another the dawn never comes too early, and twilight 

 fails to close his busy enjoyments. Nearly the same may be 

 said of Nature. To one man it is lessonless ; while to another, 

 the first blush of morning, the crimson glories of evening, the 

 brightness of noonday, and the majestic darkness of midnight, 

 are alike full of meaning. He finds " sermons in stones, books 

 in brooks, and good in everything." 



Let no one be discouraged because genius has not been be- 

 stowed upon him ; let him use that he has, and his wealth shall 

 be abundant. 



Educated Mind, Exercised Body, Essential to Wealth. 



Since, for a proper occupation of Time, and a practical ac- 

 quaintance with Nature, an Educated Mind and Exercised Body 

 are necessary, and also for the application of Skilful Labor, 

 the acquisition and enjoyment of Riches, and especially to coun- 

 terbalance any inequality in the bestowment of mind and body, 

 it is evident that Educated Mind and Exercised Body are the 

 two most important of all the elements of Wealth, those two 

 being, in fatt, the means by which the other four are obtained 

 and enjoyed, and they might therefore be considered as the pri- 

 mary and essential basis of Wealth. 



How shall this proper Education and Exercise be accom- 

 plished ? is therefore a momentous question. 



A partial answer is obtained from a very interesting fact in 

 regard to the three material elements.
