GREAT MEN ONES
WHO KNOW WORK
No Place in Life for the lndo-
lent, Says Rev. James l..
Gardiner in Talks to the
Young Men.

At the evening service at St. Paurs
Memorial Episcopal church Rev.
James l. Gardiner preached the
fourth in "A series Of six evening ser
mons on the general theme, THE
Young Man and His Battles" the par
ticular subject being. The Young
Mans Battle for Place "
He said Every young man. wor-
thy of the name has an ambition to
be somebody and 10 do something.
know there are some who have little
or no ambition-sOme who are con-
tent to stay with the herd and be like
dumb driven cattle But l feel con-
fident that / am not speaking to any
such this evening. The very fact that
you are here TO listen to this sermon
on The Young Mans Battle for
Place is in itself proof that you are
interested in the great question as 10
how you may make your lives worth
while.
How then shall you win in your
struggle for place-fOr position in
life? Let me suggest in the first
place that if you would succeed you
must make up your mind to be indus
tTious There is no place in this
world for the indOlent. Work Is not
a curse but a blessing. / care not
what business or profession you may
choose to enter if you succeed you
must be industrious and energetic.
The Mr.. Micawbers who are always
waiting for something to turn up
never amount to anything in life.
They never do anything nor do they
ever get anywhere. The great men in
every walk Of life are the men who
know how TO work.
Honesty Is Necessary.
Honesty is another feature that
must characterize the successful
young man of today. This principle
is fundamental There can be no
real success without ii. We must learn
to speak. act and live honestly. In
social life, in business life, in relig-
ious life God requires that we be
honest-honest with ourselves, hon
est with our neighbors and honest
with our Divine Lord.
The young man who will be sue
cessful in his battle for place is the
one who learns the art of perseVer-
ance. IF at first you don't succeed
try again is a fine motto for young
manhood We should cultivate in our
professional and business career the
quality OF stick-to -itiveness. We
will have difficulties to overcome; we
will have steep hills TO climb we viii
( nave adVerSarieS 10 conquer put per
severance will always win.
THE truly successful young man Is
the one who, in his business honorS
God. He remembers the Sabbath day
to keep It holy He remembers that
part of his substance belongs to God
and he renders unto God the things
that are Gods No young man can
ever hope to be successful in the
highest and best sense of the word
who shuts the divine out of his life.
Therefore honor God in word and in
deed and in life"
