He accounted for it by his attributes, and the blessing that waits on industry and integrity. He did not see that luck and selfishness had anything to do with it. No man ever failed but through his own fault none ever succeeded but by his deservings. The attorney was in a position to lecture the Rev. Mr. Wylder.
