PREPAREDNESS.

You hear great orator discuss great
subject He fascinates you with his elo-
quence, thrills you with his earnestness,
amazes you with his wisdom and convinces
you with his logic and reasoning. You
say, "What a master!'' 1t is all explained
when you reflect that the address to which
you have just listened is the product of
perhaps years of patient study and inves-
tigation. The whole result is described in
the word, ''Preparation." You must know
your subject. You must know how. Mus
Gle is as cheap as horseflesh. What the
world wants is men of ideas and action :;
who can do hard things other men can't
do. The earth is being raked as with a
fine toothed comb for brains. The organ
ization of a great corporation is not ques-
ton of getting together millions of dollars
of capital In this age of large operations
that is easy. 1t is question of finding a
million dollar man to conduct the great
enterprise.
You must believe in yourself. You must
have within you a consciousness born of
positive knowledge and proven by per-
Torrance that you are capable and sue
cessful. This inward feeling must be a
fact, and not the result of blind, ire
sponsible and unreasoning egotism.
If you believe in yourself, if you are
worthy, positive and self-reliant, then peo-
pie will give heed to your statement, accept
your conclusions and be guided by your
recommendations.
Convincing argument is the informed
statement of a strong personally. A strong
personality has striking characteristics,
and striking characteristic commands
attention.
You must also be loyal to God and truth
country and friends. When disaster comes,
be right on the firing line, and not back in
the brush, and remember that you are ex :
pected to take care of part of the trouble
and not to make any. You must live up
t. the high standard of your calling if you
would succeed.
