The Unwise Use of Money and the Spirit of Speculation

Introductory Note

The spirit of speculation is ever increasing. The desire to acquire riches quickly by speculative methods is growing even among Seventh-day Adventists. SpTB17a 2.1

There is reason to believe that during the last thirty years, more than one hundred thousand dollars has been lost by our brethren through their investments in mines and mining stock, and in various manufacturing enterprises, which have been recommended by their friends as providential opportunities to acquire means rapidly for the furtherance of the gospel. SpTB17a 2.2

A warning is needed, and recent occurrences have called it forth, as presented in the following pages. SpTB17a 2.3
