[Pamphlet excerpts:]
It is a dark and an evil lie that the Good gods wish us to be poor! Does Erastil, Who brings us the harvest each year, wish us to be poor? No! Does Sarenrae, Who brings us healing, wish us to be poor? No! Does Cayden Cailean, Who gave us wine for the gladdening of our hearts, for making merry in good times and easing grief in bad, wish us to be poor? No! Does Desna, Who guides the voyager from the far seas, to fill our ports with silks and spices and porcelain, wish us to be poor? No! Does Shelyn, to Whom all art and beauty is sacred and Who wills that all should have splendour, wish us to be poor? No! Iomedae-- even Iomedae!-- whom many slander in the name of praise, thinking that she wishes all to live as paladins and to give all they have to Lastwall-- was herself the paladin of Aroden, god of wealth.
Brothers, all men will agree that the greatest blessings of all are HEALTH and WEALTH. Are we to suppose that the gods, Who give us healing, would be so cruel, so negligent, so ungenerous as to make no provision for us to grow in prosperity as well? No! And this pamphlet explains the SIMPLE and INCONTROVERTIBLE laws of nature, as inevitable as the sun's rise and set, that lead Good people to wealth-- the laws known to all in Lastwall, which lead to that fair country's well-known prosperity.

Prayers have wings when they come with gifts! Simply hold the money close and whisper to it what the gift is for, and as the money clinks into the jar the blessed words themselves rise to Heaven and to Elysium.
--
With every gift you plant a seed. You must be patient. Each plant ripens in its own time. Soon the seedling will begin to poke above the ground and flower into the most beautiful, spreading tree you have ever seen.
--
I do not wish to speculate beyond knowledge, but there are those who want the Good to be trapped in poverty-- who want you to believe that only with their foul tricks and dark contracts will you find wealth-- who would only benefit from hiding from you the promises of Cayden Cailean and of Iomedae! If you hear a criticism of this pamphlet, pay close attention, for you may very well be hearing the words of a diabolist...
--
As the firstfruits of each vine belongs to Cayden Cailean, and as the first growth of each field belongs to Erastil, so the firstfruits of our hearts must too belong to Goodness! When you have been blessed-- when you have received an inheritance, a raise, a new customer, an increase in your lands-- the first portion must go to the Gods, whether it is your firth month's increase in salary or the first rent payment from your lands.

The Placards of Wisdom teach that all the good we do shall be returned one hundred fold! If you give one dollar you will get a hundred! If you give one ship you will get a fleet! If you give a manor you will have a county! You can't get returns this good from Abadar!
--
I say to you, Goodness WILL be put to the test! Prove Cayden Cailean! Prove Iomedae! Give to the Caydenite Society and see the CLEAR and UNDENIABLE benefits working out IN YOUR OWN LIFE. You do not need to take my word for it! Test this as a woman would test a new recipe or a wizard a new spell. You shall see the power of Iomedae's teachings.

Some have questioned the promises of Iomedae and Cayden Cailean, saying that they have given but with no reward. In ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of cases that I have examined it turned out that the person "failed" by the Good gods had been practicing the evil of slavery. No reward will come to you if your hands are tarnished by such an evil! Free your slaves! Forgive your debtors! Hold no man in bondage! Only then will you see the blessings that the Good gods have prepared for you.
--
Some have taught that a Good person gives money to beggars or the poor around them. A lie! Another of Geryon's tricks, as I have so thoroughly laid out throughout this pamphlet! The poor are sometimes innocent, but many became poor through their neglect of Goodness. When you see a child clothed in rags, then you see a father who didn't pay his workers, a mother who was cruel to her servant, an entire family that neglects their giving! The gods do not reward gifts to those who are not deserving of them!
No, your gift must go to the servants of a Good god-- and what better place to give them than the Caydenite Society, producers of this very pamphlet, which uses 100% of all gifts to spread the GOOD NEWS of Cayden Cailean's and Iomedae's simple laws of wealth. And our plans are greater still. With a mere ten thousand gold, we plan to build the greatest temple to Cayden Cailean in the entire world, that will comfort the Good and bring grief and teeth-gnashing to the Evil, a school at which all children will learn of Cayden Cailean's promises.

NOW and NOW ONLY, the Caydenite Society is selling special BLESSED dollars, each one prayed over and soaked in holy water, GUARANTEED to bring wealth to even the hardest of cases.
