God is looking for man OF high

strong It is a glorious thing to see
a man clean in his business ana

some one has said. There are.
three business rules today. First.
the golden rule: DO unto others az
you would have them do unto you
That is the Divine rue. 1t is the
rule that Will give man soft Pill
low when he les down TO sleep or
die. The rule, when kept, gives
man self-respect. and he can look
with confidence into his neighbor's
face. You may well watch the man
who has lost his honor so much that
he says he can not get on in business
on the basis or the golden rule The
second rule is the silver rule: 10
unto Others as they do unto you If
they do you. you do them. II they
treat you we'll. you treat them we'll
Eye fer an eye. tooth for a tooth
That. some people say, Is business
but il is monstrous The third rule Is
the brass rule: Get there It takes
a brassy man 10 use it. 1t makes no
difference how or where, just so you
get there. About the crookedest man

aman who will take advantage of 9TH
ers in trade. business, or who VIII
not paw his honest debts when he
can. The religion of Jesus Christ
makes a man honest through and
through. If man has been dishon-
est before his conversion. when he
is converted, he Will make right
what he has done that is wrong. \
conversion that does not make Us
&c down in our pockets and make US
ger right with our Fellows whom we
Fave wronsed, is false and spurious
conversion
"a man is no more right with God
than he.fs right with his fellow men.
