The question Of doing right or wrong
should never enter the composition of
man. There should be no doubt as to
wheather be should do right or whether
he should do wrong.
A strange query to ask you what is
right.
Some people do wrong Intentionally
and yet they believe they have done
right. They do wrong by omitting to
take advantages Of the many opportuni-
ties strewn in their path. If we have an
ambition to invaribly do right and
have adhered to our behalf in having
done the proper thing, should we then
fail in that undertaking. We are with
out doubt blameless. The query there
fore answers itself if we believe we are
doing right, that alone is sufficient. 1t
is essential to do right in order to sue
ceed in life. An intelligent and shrewd
retired business man whose ancestors
we are sorry to say, were burglars and
whose veins were therefore full of bad
blood once said!-I have tried both
ways! although do not adhere to the
right from q religious standpoint | dis
covered the secret of success in life by
making up my mind to practice the
right way for six months. Before the
expiration of that time says he, came
into possession of material matter in
consequence of the attitude have taken
that was the foundation of my successful
future. Of course, he continued, it was
necessary for me to have faith in the
course which had mapped out for my
self but | worked hard just the same
with my right hand on the outside and
the left one in my pocket. At the end
of those SIX months l found that |
literally arose above the level of my
dead self and like DR.. Jekyll the wrong
side of me had vanished. Is it right for
the workingman of to-day to live with
out any ambition? Is it right for him
to avoid making home for himself or
providing his family with a place of
abode in the event of his death? Or
would it be better for him to spend his
weekly earning as quick as he receives
them.
If he is ambitious to succeed beyond
his routine daily work which cannot
last when he grows old the first thing
he will do is to secure a piece of land
that, is the starting point. You will of
course ask the question-but how will a
man do SO without the ready cash? The
plans OF the immense are always open to
those who are willing to help them
selves. Where ever the will power exists
to accumulate home there is always a
way. The greatest brains in the world
will tell you that the first step in life
towards success is to earn your own
home! after that the rest comes easy.
When you have succeeded in this you
have achieved the first step towards
wealth. The noted millionaire A. T.
Stewart tells US that he encountered
more obstacles in accommodating his first
thousand dollars than all the balance of
his millions, the latter came easy. The
history of the ages tell us that the prin-
cipal factor of the uniYerse is land.
Land herel land therel land every where,
that's the reason there are so many land
grabbers in the world. 1t is not diff
ficult for man to own farm to COM
mence with-he can buy farm in
Southern New Jersey containing 5 acres
for 500. If he knows anything about
farming he could raise small fruits or
vegetables or if he prefers be could raise
poultry of every description. If he
diden't care about farming or poultry
raising he could build himself a nice
summer residence where he could spend |
his leisure hours, as the land is con-
veniently located to the South Jersey
Rail Road and is within easy access to
Philadelphia. Probably by the time he
was ready to build, city or small |
town would have surrounded his land |
and increased the value of it. If he cares |
anything about owning farm he can
write to D. L. Risley 211 South Tenth |
Street, Philadelphia. He can procure
one Of those farms by paying 81 week.
You'll probably find it step in the
right direction.
