The big question before our people today is whether we are to more material in our thinking, judging administrative success by its economic results entirely and leaving out all other achievements. History shows that a nation interested primarily in material things invariably is on a downward path. Great wealth has ruined every nation since the day Cheops laid the cornerstone of the Great Pyramid, not because of any inherant wrong in wealth, but because it became the ideal and idol of the people.
Phoenicia, Carthage, Greece, Rome, Spain all bear witness to this truth.
