Afraid of Riches

I find that our people are too afraid that
they are going to get rich. We read in the
Bible that it is as impossible for a rich man to
enter Heaven as it is for a camel to pass
through the eye of a needle; but don't get
afraid, accumulate all you can, save all you
can. Talks to Tuskegee Townspeople.
