_The Path to Wealth._ By A BLACKSMITH, B.F. Johnson & Co., Richmond, Va.

This is a unique book. It purports to give the addresses of a practical
blacksmith, some of them delivered in his shop to a few neighbors, but
the audience becoming larger, the rest were given in an adjacent church
building. To most persons, the title affords a slight clue to the drift

tithe of a man's income to the Lord. The author's bottom thought is
based on this statement in the preface: "God pledges himself for the
success of that individual who renders obedience to the divine
money-claim." In other words, the path to wealth is the path of
benevolence. The obligation to give the tithe is earnestly enforced by
the ordinary Scripture quotations, and by arguments drawn from other
sources. Whatever the reader may think of the theory of the book, he
will find in it a good deal of valuable and practical truth.
