short at the longest; let it all be filled
up with helpfulness for others work and
sympathy for each others misfortunes,
and our arms full Of white mantels to
cover up the mistakes and failures of

for you and for all of your rivals. God
has given you work to do. Go ahead
and do it. Mind your own business.
In all circles, in all kinds OF business,
and in all professions there is room for
straightforward successes.
