A SATURDAY. SERMON.


He becometh poor that dealeth with a
slack hand; but the hand of the diligent
maketh rich. Proverbs x l.
In this era of life. particularly in
these United States. the habit has been
developed all too generally of rushing
on with affairs of every kind in the
easiest and quickest way. Men make
up their minds to reach goal. They
start on the road to it with a hustle
and a hustle that makes for anything
but perfection. They often achieve
what they are apt to look upon as
success, a whole or partial realization
of their dreams. But most of the
things that are accomplished in this
fashion lack perma nency. A slack
hand has been used in the building of
them in one or more of their essential
details. These mistakes are not no.
ticed in the process of their making.
But when the structure is completed,
it is soon discovered that there are
many weak members in it. 1t totters
and wobbles. And frequently it falls
to a complete destruction. Then, it is
often too late for the beginning of
another structure to take its place.
And so, the man who has worked with
brilliant and successful though they
seemed for time, have resulted in a
failure.
There are many almost self evident
proofs that this is true in the history
Tins of their own carelessness and
slackness does the realization come
stronger that their efforts might have
terial success if they had used the
utmost of diligence in laying the
foundations for it; if they had worked
out every particular of the superstruc-
ture, which they desired to build, in a
thoroughly substantial manner.
Observation will show that the men
who have achieved successes of the
right and permanent sort, successes
which need not necessarily be meas
ured by a great amount of money or
property-but even such successes are
within the bounds of this discussion
are those whose achievements have
not come suddenly. They have ar
rived slowly but surely, and chiefly be-
cause of the unfailing practice of great
diligence in all details of their prog
ress. The diligent man, no matter
what his work may be, is the one who
will always make, success of the last
ing sort, a, success worth while. A fell
low worker may occasionally pass him
by for the time being by Stacking
things which are not Immediately OBJ
servable. but, in the long run, the
plodder, the careful, the diligent man
will win the ultimate victory, pretty
much after the style in which the
tortoise defeated the hare in their
famous race.
