Searchlight Club of the " M. G. A.
at the association building Tuesday
night.
Beginning with an enumeration of
the many things he might have taxed
about, which would embrace some form
of railroad questions. Mr.. Schoyer de-
clared that he would leave the realm
of things he knew about, and enter the
realm of things of which he did not
know SO much. He then Announces ms
subject "a Days Work"
The many things that may happen
in a days work. the different kinds Of
days that are in the power of every one
to make. and in the same way, the
power every man has to overcome GER
tain laws" which seem fixed. or to
observe laws which will help, formed
the basis OF the discourse of Mr..
Schoyer.
After passing briefly over his pre-
liminary discussion, the speaker enum-
Grated his three main points, namely
three laws which by being observed
daily would help every one in any walk
of life. These laws were the laws OF
more than brotherly Kindness" the
law of uncommon honesty" ana the
law of never despairing."
The analyses of these laws. each one
illustrated by several stories that were
exactly to the point, and drawn from
the speakers own experience, formed
the nucleus of the address. In the law
of more than brotherly kindness. the
speaker urged the doing of things Tor
your friends, even to the going out OF
your way to do them, whether it be in
business, society or religion. trust
your friends, and believe in them, ana
be more than ordinarily kind and heip-
full. In connection with this law Mr.
Schoyer told a story of a young train
dispatcher, whose honesty and sense OF
duty were rewarded flttingly. even tho
he had made a grave mistake, and then
added that the young dispatcher mad
been himself.
by the law of uncommon honesty,
do not mean the simple laws OF every
day honesty, but the honesty meaning
the remembrance of the other mans
rights. especially your employers. said
Mr.. Schoyer. He stated that uncom-
mon honesty meant being loyal to your
employer, and always doing little
more than he expected rather than
little less. Remember that you owe II
to your employer to have all your rae
ulties in first class condition every
so that the organization FOR
which you work may always be sure
that your part of the work will be done.
In speaking of the third point. the
law Of never despairing, Mr.. Schoyer
said that as a rule energy. ampitlon
and perseverance will win out IN the
end. even tho all hope seems lost. his
main points in this last section con-
sisted of two stories, one oil man VINO
kept on in spite of the fact that other
men were constantly promoted aneao
of him. and in the end he himself was
given the best position OF All. Inc
other story was of the little piece OF
red flannel. which had made up ITS
mind that it was going to be worn D!
a King. or queen or general. Altho
a children's story, this illus
tration served to bring out the speak
er's point most forcefully. as the little
niece of flannel did not give up hope,
even on what seemed the last day OF
its life. and in the end was rewarded
lust as it had wanted to be all the
time.
La closing Mr.. Schoyer declared that.
these laws were not only helps to every
one in 1.-THE days work" but they were
duties of every one, in order that the
work might 60 on easily and in the best
way possible.
Supper was served to 1874 members OF
the club and guests. the latter. mostly
railroad men, having been invited to
hear Mr. Schoyeras E
