.ACTER IN BUSINESS
Il. Fillmore Irwin

The subject of this article may not
be entirely comprehensive TO all who
read II or the importance of IL may
not readily be appreciated, but new
ertheless II y vitality important and
every business Is dependent on the
part II plays in advancement to the
goal of success.
The business world Is awakening
to the necessity OF employing men
OF definite character In Romans
1911 we read Not slothful in bus
mess; fervent in spirit; serving the
Lord We have reason TO believe
that II has become obvious TO every
employer and official that the sue
cess OF any organization is depend
mt on the character of the men work
ing In IL. The discriminating official
desires to employ men whom he can
trust; men wha work and bear re-
opohnipliiNs hhiiih'hihbiF h'h nv
are conscientious and considerate of
others; men who shun those things
that are dastardly and brutal; men
who are prone to see those higmer
nobler and elevating elements that
tend 10 spin for them successful
future.
Not all efficient and educated men
are Christian. These men, too, in
many cases. will not confine them
selves to legitimate laws and prin-
ciples in business. Not so with the
Christian man; he will serve his en-
ployer to the best OF HIS ability. will
make II the rule OF his life to strive
for success in concordance with
righteousprineiples. And this mani
festation OF Christian character tends
To help the less Cody man.
For an employer to realize these
benefits in his business, he first must
possess all the qualities that he con-
siders In the man he employs. No
man must treat his subordinates as
though they wee inferior to him in
knowledge or worthiness. To get the
best results be courteous without dis
stimulation. quick TO perceive and re-
ward the man who has been untir-
ing in his effort to secure promotion.
A kindly word will often revive fad
ing inspiration. Discretion should
be used in reminding an employee OF
some error or neglect OF duty. as II
is often not intentional. and II such
matters are not treated properly the
result might cause a spirit Of non
chalance in the entire Office.
At meeting OF labor unions in
Ohio IL was unanimously decided that
the only method OF satisfactorily
terminating strike controversies was
to conform strictly TO the principles
laid down by our Lord and Savior Je-
sus Christ. Thank God. the world is
coming to realize that part Chris
tianity is playing in every activity
OF human life. Now Is the time 10
bos.n. to ge' ready to commence.

CHAPMAN THOUGHT A
MASCOT WAS LEFT

The people on the streets Of
Chapman witnessed an unusual
spectacle when train No. 103 Of the
Union Pacific passed through We'd
nesday afternoon. A young mule
becoming frightened and confused,
raced along the side Of the train
through the town and for a mile into
the country. The mule kept pace
with about the middle Of the train
scarcely more than a foot from the
cars, lodging box cars, clearing two
switches and a cattle guard and
crossing a bridge. 1t is estimated
that a speed Of thirty-fi Ave miles per
hour had been approached before
the train began to distance the an
imal.
The suggestion has been ven.
tured that the presence Of party
on the train headed for the national
Democratic convention exercised a
subtle control over the animal and
caused 1t so successfully to hurdle
the otherwise insurmountable obsta-
Giles before It.
