If we put one in a position to amass a fortune at the expense of health and morals, we become the authors of injuries instead of benefits, which will effect not only the person we endeavor to favor, but his descendants as well. On the other hand, if we put one in a position where he will succeed in promoting health and morals, although earning but a bare subsistence, we confer benefits upon him. Upon the community in which he lives and upon all who are to come after him.
