you will see all the rulers of the
people standing in amazement al

Likewise, let every workingman

to set aside some of his earnings a

The Successful Man
Is One Who Does Things.

If you are fond of trout, it will
give you only a second hand form
of satisfaction to sit on the bank
of the stream and see another
man catch them. If you want
them in your own frying pan you
know what to do.
Prosperity is the same. If you
want it. go out and get it. The
fact that another man across the
street is making good will not
cheer up your family.
There is very direct connect
ion between Prosperity and Gov
eminent, but the connection is
first with self government. Most
men are prone to wish that all
things be done for them. But
the man who wins out sees the
joke in that platform and begins
to do all things for himself.
