LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BySw sTRAIE Presiden. Anseriean Society tor Thrift

wards brought them their high sue
cess. The greatest benefits were
doubtless due to the fact that their:
practices Of thrift gave them rugged
characters, indomitable wills and
wholesome standards of life. They
were able to make any fight that cir
cumStancc decrced. They were able
to withstand all temptations, to work
hard, think clearly, rise above small
personal considerations, and make Of
themselves tremendous powers of ac-
complishment
How often have we witnessed the
unhappy spectacle of some man fail
ing to rise to the complete possibili-
ties of opportunity as result of
thriftlessness This often Is true
in the case of rich mems sons
who fail utterly through weakness Of
character and the inefficient manage
ment of their affairs. Although the
standard of thrift necessarily varies
with each individual, the practices Of
this cirtue arc just as essential for
the wealthy as for the poor. Thrift
less habits will undermine any charac-
ter and eventually lead to ruin.
There is an old saying that oppor-
tunity comes but once to every man.
This is not true. Life is full Of golden
opportunities America to-day is the
land of opportunity. There are more
opportunities than there arc men to
take advantage of them. Every man
or woman who practices thrift will
find these opportunities and will he
able to take complete advantage Of
them.
Practice thrift, and view the future
with calm assurance.
Opportunity is bound TO come to
you. BE prepared TO take complete
advantage of it when it comes.
