Christian church, collapsed in his pull

Garvin, who was in the audience, and
was sent to his home in carriage,
where he speedily recovered and late
last night was reported in an i'm
proved condition.
The address was to have been one of
advice to young men and the church
was thronged by men of all ages and
callings, ANXIOUS to learn the princi-
Piles by which Rev. Mr.. Coulter had at
tanned great success in business and
yet remained in church work.
Prior to beginning his address Rev.
Mr. Coulter asked that all the win
oows in the church be closed. He
talked for about fifteen minutes, when
he stopped suddenly and said MY

Result of Chill
Dr. Garvin gave immediate attend
ance and a carriage was called Rev.
Mr.. Coulter did not lose consciousness
throughout and assured his audience
that it was merely the result of a
chill caused by a recently contracted
cold.
Rev. Mr. Coulter's lecture as deliv-
cred, was in brief as follows:
"You have heard all your lives that
man is never too old to learn. This
proverb is true in the business world.
as we'll as in any other realm. This
is a new experience for me tonight,
as have not spoken on this subject
before and it is not my custom to ad-
dress public gatherings.
my subject will be business prin-
ciuples that will lead you to success.
The Christian religion is a religion of
principles and not of rules. A princi-
pie is d fundamental source of cause
that II applied will produce effects.
end there are certain business princi-
pies Underlying the business world
that never change.
"Ybu have heard that knowledge is
powfr,' and that saying is particularly
applicable to the business world. Many
fail5in business for lack of knowledge
of the fundamental principles. One of
these fundamental principles is indus
try. A lazy man, without energy or in
dustry, will never succeed. The Indian
pfoverb at this particular place is most
applicable in that the Indians have
followed their proverb of standing
still and have never advanced as a
result The proverb is as follows and
should be avoided if success is de-
sired: Tt is better to walk than to
run, better to stand than to walk
better to sit than to stand and better
to lie down than to sit
"One thing is needful for even an
Industrious person; that is order ar
rangement, system and method. In
many offices you see great lack of
this. I have tried to impress upon
those with whom have come in con-
tact the great need of system and
order in business. Every man can be-
come methodical if he wishes, and in
this lies the first step to success"
