SUNSHINE IN BUSINESS
'1n a recent address to the students
OF a business college at Little Rock,
Ark. DR.. Homer t., Wilson, the emf
nent iecturer, spoke in the following
timely strain;
swhen young manisabouttomake
the turning point in life and is choos-
ing his path, let me caution you. young
ladies', that you do not, with jeweled
hand. offer him the wine glass; speak
q word Of noble inspiration that viii
mould his character.
There are some who succeed today
in the world and make a magnificent
success in the journey Of life and
each Of them possesses some peculiar
trait. some gift, some having the won
derful power of beauty, others have
the wonderful power Of song, others
have the power to use the voice, the
artist the power to produce marvel
GUS paintings which attract the atten-
flon of the world, still others have the
power Of the gift Of speech. we
should be very careful TO cultivate
them and always have the one object
before us. and that Is to make this
world better because of the gift that
God has given us.
sThere is one that possesses the
power OF building statute--God fur
nishes the marble, mau furnishes the
tools with which TO work. God gave
him tho bra'n but, young lal'es AMI
gentlemen. it requires many stroke
Of the mallet and ehlsel to give beauty
to the statue. It Is not by a single
stroke that any great thing in this
r. i accomplished, but it is a result
u .Ns, ion OF strokes, they per
sist tniscchav produce the wonderful
things OF the world In the study Of
th/se great masterpieces you must al
ways study the man behind the statue
the artist behind the picture, for 70
follow the elements Of success there
must be a great soul. He did not know
that with a few strokes of life II
would pass away, - not know that
after while the brain, the hand that
achieved and executed Il would be
cold In death. Why paint the beau
tiful picturest hat adorn the art gal
ierie- Of the world? 1t is to make this
old world better SO the artist paints
his picture and seaves the product OF
the world behind and the world is
better and there never has been
statue carved that come other artist
win not reach d loitier point; never a
voice but tnat some other voice will
not reach up into higher realms
what EFFORT & requiresl Yet it is es-
sential to success.
aIn the commercial interestg Of this
world remember that gentleness and
Kindness win be the potent factors
with which to attain success in this
world. Ia the great difficulties to
which we are subjected every Difficult
~ becomes an opportunity, and, boys,
the greatest men that ever lived are
men who have carved for themselves
beautiful characters. Now. young la
dies and gentlemen, the world offers
opportunities such as have never been
offered before for boys and girls. es-
peciallw 30 in the commercial world.
Gm always glad that , can talk to
boys and girls engaged in the kind
OF work that you are-preparing your
selves 10 engage in the commercial in
tercourse of the world-and you viii
see that Il Is conducted by young la
dies and gentlemen The reason why
so many young meE and girls are en-
gagged IN business today is because
their education today IS almost com
plete ct eighteen or twenty, and our
great institutions and banks and busi-
ness OF an kinds are today under the
management OF Young men principally.
The secret OF cris is the preparation
