HAS CONTRACT
WITH THE LORD
MINNEAPOLIS MAN TELLS OF HIS
BUSINESS.
He Gives the Lord So Much of His
Profits, the Amount Reaching Half
When $1,000 Is Made Over All Ex-
penses.

Minneapolis, Dec. 6.-H o. Roberts,
who conducts a hardware store at 1O3
Western avenue north, Minneapolis,
was distrustful of his fellow men as
business partners, so he drew up a
written agreement with the Lord.
This was on May IL, 1893 The IN
scription on the fly leaf of his ledger
OF each succeeding year is this
i promise that, as the Lord shall
prosper me, / will act as his steward
and give to him as follows:
IF make $1,000 annually, 800;
$1,5OO, $3.50; $4,000, $4O0; $4,000, 625;
$4,000, $1,000; $4,000, $2,500.
Roberts claims that he has prosper
ed by carrying out his agreement un-
til he has reached the last mentioned
figures.
He says he has no desire to go back
to his old method of doing business
begore he made the agreement, and in
fact would be afraid to do so. for he
is certain that his present business
would never have grown to its pro-
portions If he had continued along the
old lines
Mr.. Roberts holds that the Lord
needs not only preachers and mission
aries to help him carry on his work.
but that he needs practical business
men as well.

News, "and I balance accounts with
