On Business

““Business is business,” says somebody. Yes, I know it is, and it has no business to be such business as it very often is. It ought to be christianized, and the Christian that does not christianize business is a dead Christian—a savourless salt, wherewith shall such salt be savoured when the salt itself has lost its savour?” (1290.230)

“God forbid that you neglect your businesses, but those who do most business with God are generally those who do their business with man best, and there is a great saving of time in having time with God in prayer.” (3322.477)
