l. OF ONES WORD.

The value of a mans word depends up
on the mans respect for himself. Wesome-
ii mes hear of men whose words are their
bonds. This means simply that the maj
in question honors his own coed name suf-
fc:ently to desire to preserve it. We hear
of another man that he would not be cred
ible under oath, and touch the extreme of
reimbursement in him.
Never fail to keep a promise if you can
help it, but having made it, adhere to it.
Let your word ever be your bond, and your
credit will be the gamer. Train yourself
to calculate consequences when you make
pledges, and when you commit yourself
stand ready to bear the consequences, no
matter at what cost to yourself.
That is the secret of credit, of fair fame
in aud in society. 1t is the man
who does not betray himself who is the
most successful in the end, because all who
know him thus are confident that he will
be Just to them as he is to himself.
