RULES OF CONDUCT.


Modern methods should be employed
even at the expense of the few.
The chief thing in life is to do
something-to work.
Thirty cents is all ever spend for
luncheon. It's enough for any man
on salary.
The growth of a big business is
merely the survival of the fittest.
Do the little everyday duties of life
without a murmur Do them well.
That Is SUCCESS. -~-' -- --' ------' '---
The most successful business men
can be, should be and are the most
successful Christian men.
A war may cost many lives, but it
lis for the good of the country at
large.
Success comes by doing the COM
mon everyday things of life uncom-
monty we'll There are three chief re-
quisites for a successful business man.
The first is honesty-absolute homes
ty; the second is industry, and the
third is perseverance.
There is only one way that the hid
den treasure can be found, and that
is by building up character in order
to possess all that is really worth
Having in the world.
1t is no crime to accumulate wealth,
provided it was attained by honest
and proper means, but it is a crime
to devote it to an improper use.
The moral order of the universe will
be maintained regardless of the indi-
vidual power of any man.
You can bank on it that it pays to
do right: that God is just and will
right all evils.
Wealth and position are not every
thing; they are good so far as the
good you can do with them.
l am convinced from my own ex-
perience that the greatest joy in life
comes from christian service and as
ISOLATION.
Be honest in business, even if it
does not Ry from financial stand
point.
The man who talks one thing on
Sunday and lives another on week
days, does untold injury. The man
or corporation who has not dete. min
ed at the outset to do good to others
while doing good to himself will fail
in the end.
] thinl; nothing can be more helpful
to us than to stand by our convic-
lions. Let us have the spirit and de-
termine to do that which is right and
we shall be, made strong.
A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE.
On Success-Don't sit back and wait
for the door to open.
On Bcrrowng-Don't spoil friend
ship by trying to borrow money fiom
a friend.
On Work-Dont be ashamed to do
any work that falls to your hands.
Don't be afraid to make a lowly be-
ginning.
On Matrimony-DOnt marry a wo-
man simply because she is pretty.
Don't marry woman who is not in
sympathy with your ideas.
On Temperapce-Don't drink. The
man who never drinks is not asked.
Don't go around TO see the sights
merely to gather strength to resist
evil. Don't drink. Don't imagine
that you will have the strength Of will
to know when to turn back.
On Bravery-Don't shrink from criti
cism. Don't be gutter. Don't be
afraid to assert yourself. You must
let men know that you are not afraid
to do things.
On Riches-Don't be discontinued |
with life because you are not rich.
Don't worship the almighty dollar.
Don't envy those who are rich. Don't |
strive for wealth. 1t is character,
not money, influence or power, which
makes a man.
On Habits-Dont go around wear
ing a sour face Don't be hypocrit.
Hypocrisy is the meanest of charac-
teristics. Don't be a human sponge.
Don't live above your income. The
man who lives within his means Will
have little to be afraid of. Don't
question the motives of those who.
having sinned, are trying to show by
