#283 Andrew Carnegie

Nothing stranger ever came out of the story of this poor Scotch boy who came to America And step by step Through many trials and triumphs. Became the great steel master. Built up a colossal industry.

Amass an enormous fortune. And then deliberately and systematically gave away the whole of it. For the enlightenment and betterment of mankind. Not only that. He established a gospel of wealth.

That can be neither ignored nor forgotten. And set a pace in distribution That succeeding millionaires. Have followed as a precedent. That is an excerpt from the book that I'm going to talk to you about today, which is written over a hundred years ago, which is the autobiography of Andrew Carnegie.
