Franklin differed in many ways, but had a similar quality: the both worked hard. Edwards preached even when people were drifting away from his ideas, and Franklin worked his way from poverty to prestige. Edwards work was based on religion, unlike Franklin, and Franklin worked until he was in his eighties. Both men are a role model for the working man.
