Project Gutenberg 2008-01-23 Public domain in the USA. 75 Bryan, William Jennings 1860 1925 The Price of a Soul Produced by Andrew Sly "The Price of a Soul" by William Jennings Bryan is a philosophical address that reflects on the moral implications of one's choices, particularly in relation to wealth and the soul's value. Written in the early 20th century, the book was presented originally at various events, including law school banquets and commencement ceremonies. The central theme examines the eternal question posed by Christ, "What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" Bryan argues that the soul's worth supersedes material gain, prompting readers to evaluate their priorities and ethical choices. In this address, Bryan delves into various professions and aspects of life, exploring how temptations related to wealth can lead individuals to compromise their integrity and moral compass. He addresses the moral responsibilities of journalists, lawyers, business professionals, and educators, emphasizing that the pursuit of money should never supersede the commitment to service and ethical standards. By using historical examples and parables, Bryan illustrates the dangers of prioritizing material wealth over one's character and obligations to society. Ultimately, he challenges individuals and nations alike to aspire to higher ideals and to recognize the greater purpose behind their actions, making a compelling case for the intrinsic value of the soul in a materialistic world.
