THE HINDRANCE OF IGNO-

fury was asked n short time pre-
vious to his death, what was the
greatest difficulty he ever over
came in his struggle for success.
His answer was, "my own ig-
nDraGce. He wrote volumes
that were replete with lofty
thoughts and learning. which will
be instructive to generations 70
come, yet his weak points were
known to MIN and recognized "a
hirdrances to progress. Most of
ia, however. blame circumstan-
ces, environments, and other
people, for what we fail to ac-
complish. but in ninety mine
cases in a hundred our own igno-
rance is the cause.
The farmer who remains poor,
blames his land or the weather,
when ignorance OF agriculture
and lack Of business methods are
his main handicaps. The poor
workman, as the old proverb
teaches, quarrels with his tools,
but never becomes sufficiently
exasperated with his ignorance to
part company with it.
When a merchant or business
man goes into bankruptcy, the
genuine, old-fashioned, empty
pocket variety, it is because OF
ignorance in management. The
professional man who goes
through life, eking out a bare
existence, has his ignorance to
blame as n preventative of sue.
cess, for the world is in need of
learned jurists, physicians and
ministers of the gospel, just as it
mas always been. The ignorant
editor stands no better chance
OF success than tho ignoramus in
other callings, no matter how few
tho delinquent subscribers, or
how literally he is patronized by
advertisers. He must keep,track
of current events, local happen
ings. be- able to please the public
and thoroughly up-to-date in all
that pertains to the mechanical
department of his profession, or
failure is as sure as death and
taxes.
The ignorant man is hampered,
fettered, at every tnrn, no matter
how worthy his intentions, or I'M
selfish his motives. He may be.
come a useful member. OF society,
but ignorance will hold him down
and limit his sphere. On the
other hand, knowledge is power,
and a sure stepping-stone to.suc-
cess, fame and fortune. Find
out your weak point, your main
hindrance, and remedy it by
strenuous effort to become an
expert in your chosen field of
labor.
