rights of those benefited and yet with
just regard for the rights of others.
But in the last analysis the factor
most influential in determining any
mans success must ever be the sum
of that mans own qualities, of his
knowledge, foresight. thrift and cOur-
age. Whatever tends to increase his
self-Tespect, whatever tends to help
him overcome the temptations with
which all of us are surrounded, is of
benefit, not only to him, but TO the
whole community.
All Bear Affections.
The hand of the Lord is sometimes
heavy upon the just as well as upon
the unjust, and in the life of labor and
effort which we must lead on this
earth it is not always possible either
by work, b. wisdom or by upright be
havior TO ward OF disaster. But it is
most emphatically true that the chance
for leading a happy and prosperous
life is immensely improved if only the
man is decent, sober, industrious. and
exercises foresight and judgment. Let
him remember above all that the per
fOrmance of duty is the first essential
TO right living, and that a good type Of
average family life is the corner stone
of national happiness and greatness.
No man can be a good citizen, can de
serve the respect OF his fellows. unless
first of all he is good man in his own
family, unless he does his duty faith
fully by his Tife and children.
UphOIds Unions.
Il strongly believe in trades unions
wisely and justly handled, in which
the rightful purpose TO benefit those
connected with them is not accompan
led by a desire 10 do injustice or wrong
to others. / believe it the duty Of cap
ital and wage-worker TO try TO seek
one another out. to understand each
the others point of view. and 10 en-
deavor to show broad and kindly hu-
man sympathy one with the other"
