M: NTA' FORCE

In these times of conquest ard competition, when the marts of trade ard the professions are filled with men whose abilities are drilled, and whose energies are schooled to the highest point, 1t is mental force that tells.
 The ability to explain conVinc- ingly, to demonstrate concisely, to make the other fellow see the point, convince him that our ar gument is sound and that he ought to follow our advice that is mental force. It is the ele- ments of energy. will power, con- fidence, resolutness. and !know- ledge of our duty, combined with a fixedaess of purpose and high minded enthusiasm. and its work wonders in the acheivments of the man who studies it's proper application.
 When we study men and what they do, we are struck with sur. prise at the great difference in tue results they produce. This is due to the difference in their power to concentrate their ability, their mental strength and skill, on the great duty before them.
 Tae man without force, who has pot drilled and trained to that e%'ent that in his whole personal identity he carries the embodi- ment of success born of conf dence and resolution, energy and force. fails in the great task he has set about to perform. and weakens himself for the aCcomp- iishment of every succeeding duty while his neighbor, his co worker, by the very force ~I,nln him made strong sHd effective by careful, thorough training, by confidence an4 enthusiasm and uncaasirg aner-. clears the ob- stacle5 before .N, and mounts to the hish T n of successful acheivemets.
 Success is in the man. in his energy, his determination, his mental force. And these are cul- tiyated and acquired more than most of us know.
 It is in the will po"cr, in the ability to work to a fixed purpose. and the 'I will" furnishes con dition of mental strength that accomplishes the impossible to the nerveleSS man. and credits itsowner with touch of genius.
 Powell Buxton the great Eng fish philanthropist said, " The longer 1 live the more am con- vinced that the great difference between one man and another, between the weak and the power ful, the great and the insigni- ficant is energy, force. invincible determination; a purpose once fixed, and then death or victory.
 1t is the man with these endow ments and these attainments, whC cheerfuliy takes hold and lifts who meets his work the smil, and confidence of a winner, tt whom the world bows in admir- ation and acknowledges to hin the success due as his inquest toned right.
 It is as natural for the ma with mental force to be in tn lead, to cut the way as it is fo the sun to shine. On a larg ranch in Nebraska are two coll ege graduates doing the work c common hands; one was fsvore with the best elements of boo

They are bo.h able to speak several languages, to handle scientific problems and to discourse on learned subjects, but they occupy the positions, and are doing tine work of ranch laborers because of their lack of force and energy to apply their learning.

 The great actor Garrick was asked by an unsuccessful prea- cher to tell hlm the secret of his power over his audience. Tt is plain enough" he said. you speak of eternal verities and what you know to be the greatest truths as though you hardly believe them yourself. while 1 utter what 1 know to be unreal as if 1 believe d them in my very soul"
 It is the being awake. the eager enthusiasm, the tingling of every fiber in our being with the desire tc do the one thing in our mind, that brings the power and the force to command success. We throw ourselves into the occasion, whatever it may be. with our whole heart, with the concen- tation of mind on the point to 5e reached, and if We know our duty well enough and believe fully enough that we will win, we cannot fail.
 It the force of mind directed by henest intentions, that accom- plish the results credited to sue ceSsful men. An incident recently occurred which fully illustrates this, and it has .,,5 counter part in almost every piace. One of our successful, business men re- crived a call n his office from a gentleman Nho solicited his aub- ScriptioH to an amount of stock in a new manufacturing in erprise. The proposition was one of mel it. and gave d good assurance of prof. investment. The i6entifi- cation of this gentleman with it's interests was desirable because of the prestage which would be given to it. But this caller pre- sented it's merits with a lack of force, that failed to interest him. His arguments were not to the point; they did not penetrate; they seemed to carry with them no persuasion; and the lukewarm energy behind them failed to int eaest him. He declined to invest, and when the interview ended, he felt that he had been bored and his time wasted on a scheme unworthy of his support.
 Later in the weak, the gentle was called upon by another rep resentative of the new enterprise

 Achievements ot this kind are the result of mental force. They

 It is the sharp point of the need Ie, the keen edge of the ax, that 3enetrated. It is the man of energy and strength, whose ar gument is sharp and keen, that makes it penetrate the armor of opposition and win success.
 In this world of commerce high type of mental force Tn pre- sented the alert and earnest sales man or solicitor who knows his business we'll and who attends to 1t with a concentration of pur- pose and a determination to win success. He has confidence with out egotism; he is persistent without being a bore, and he di- rects the judgement and decision If his customer without apparent effort to lead. He meets the Whims and the arguments and the objections advanced, with plain sensible explanations, and presents reasons that are conVin- ciNg With a power and energy that adds to their weight.

 He is enthusiastic over his business, and he not only shows it but he imparts that enthusiasm to his customer. He knows that 1t is constant pressure and hard persistent " )rk that counts. He makes his points one at a time, and urges them until they are ac- cepted.
