Keeping Bust
ness Normal"

We are asked by our Govern
ment, as a vital prerequisite to
the manmouth undertaking in
which we are engaged, that we
do our utmost TO Keep business
normal. The request is Il broad
one and comprehends the whole
scope of human character, in
the coucrctc as well as in tho
abstract; Individually ms well
as collectively.
1t is incumbent that we use
energy and industry. This,
though, the cxigencies Of the
times insure, The demands for
the products of our industry
are so great that none but the
hopclcssly slothful can consent
TO remain inactive. The pres
sure OF human needs can gen.
orally be relied upon to gunran.
tee corresponding outlay of
energy and industry.
But there are other equally
as important human chara ctcr.
istics that must be considered,
and among these we must give
ilrst place to unselfialincss ms
opposed To self interest. We
must learn to think in the mass
rather than as individuals. We
must learn to shape our actions
in the light of the public veal,
rather than in that of the indi.
vidnal. The temptation is great
Tor a spirit of selfishness and
greed to dominate our lives.
The opportunity was never
greater for men in all lines of
endeavor to make Killings"
and Feather their nests" hut
we must bear in mind that this
will always be done ut the ex-
pensc of the industrial health
of the masses. In plain words,
what we get out of the present
commercial conditions will be
a true gauge of our character.
The man who energies with
unduly swollen bank balance
may know in his heart of hearts
that his countryhas been second
in his thoughts and actions. 1t
IL the man whose entire thought
and actions have been devoted
to sustaining the commercial
life and strength Of his country

"By their fruits ye shall

applicable than in the present
emergency.
