THE GOLDEN RULE IN BUSINESS
lFrom Manufacturers Record

'HA iN'ttihJ
Some years ago Willis l.. King,
vice president of the Jones & Laugh
lin company, one of the greatest steel
concerns Of America, in an address
before the American Iron and Steel
Institute took as his subject The
Golden Rule in Business"
Mr.. King claimed that in every
business relation, whether dealing with
customers, competitors or employees.
it was possible TO follow the Golden
Rule as the surest guide in all bust
ness dealings. His address was en-
Enthusiastically received by the hundreds
of leaders of the iron and steel in
dustry who were present.
Since that meeting there has been
a widespread development of the
thought that in all human relations
men should strive to put into practice
the divine command to do unto others
as VIC would that they should do unto
US. But what a revolution in hu-
man affairs would be inaugurated if
all men practiced that doctrine!
If all employers would honestly put
themselves mentally in the place OF
their employees and then study the
meaning of that command. there would
be a mighty change for the better.
II all employees would put them
selvces in their employers place and
endeavor fully TO carry out that teach
ing, there would be no slackening,
. ra fn.Fffgf.nprF md NO .ffart Ia hrntg-
beat and bulldo2e other men who did
not belong TO their particular union.
If all buyers and sellers would faith
fully do unto each other as they
would wish others 10 do unto them un-
der similar circumstances, honesty
would everywhere prevail, and the
worlds business would nov forward
to a higher and nobler plane, with
larger prosperity for all.
No man is living a true life, no
man is doing his fun duty to him
self and his fellowmen as employer,
or employe, as buyer or seller, who
cannot conscientiously say that TO
the very best of his knowledge he is
seeking to carry out this supreme
rule of human conduct.
No man y thoroughly honest at
heart who Is not willing to examine
himself to see II his motives. square
with this divine command. which Is
Just as binding as those which say,
Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not
murder. thou shalt not commit adul'
terry. Men may follow these commands
ana still utterly fail If they do no,
follow that other command which says
Whatsoever We would that mel
should do to you. do We even 50 &c
them" II may be well-nigh impossible
70 attain unto that heavenly height
OF conduct, but II is possible tC
strive INCREASINGLY ana honestly t'
do 81.

prosperous towns and fewer business partner
ships and fewer enterprises throbbing with
the energy he knew how to impart.
The republic lost a valuable friend. Ii
Theodore Roosevelt had been allowed to go
across the seas it was Mr.. lannon's intention
to 90 with him. During the war he put Ard
more over the top in every drive that was
made for Liberty Bonds or for war relief.
Ardmore mourns the loss of a good friend.
He had planned to build his home here. He
made this city the Mecca of both politics and
business. He inspired many men to reach
beyond their usual capacities. No man could
be in his presence and not feel the inspiration
Of courage that led them to undertake big
things. Nature made of him a power that
reached out and inspired others. Despite the
fact that he accumulated millions he retained
that common touch of humanity that made
him easily approached by every person, from
newsboy to banker.
He made money and operated gigantic
enterprises, but he never lost the common
touch of life. He was sought after by men
of the highest rank, but he never forgot his
humblest friend. He has taken the gait in
politics and in business, but he was as good
a loser as he was a winner. He was as
proud IN DEFEAT as ne was generous III VIC
tory. He was too busy a man to cherish
vengeance. He would rather have lived in a
howell, surrounded by his friends, than in a
palace that did not hold out the warmth of
love. He was emotional and was easily
touched to tears. He retained all the vi
vacity of youth. He never consulted his own
strength and vitality. He drew upon them
without stint. He was a grownup boy, Sc
rious at times but always reserving time for
relaxation. May his mantel of business
genius fall upon the shoulders of some man
worthy to wear it.

TIRED MOTHERS


"A little elbow leans upon your knee
Your tired knee that has so much
to bear:
a child's dear eyes are looking low
ingly
From underneath a thatch of tam
gled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet
touch
OF warm, moist fingers holding
yours so tight;
You do not prize the blessing over
much
You almost are too tired to pray
tonight.
But ii is blessedness, A year ago
| did not see il as / dc today
We are all so dull and thankless, and
too slow
To catch the sunshine till it slips
away.
And now it seems surprising strange
to me
That while l wore the badge Of
motherhood
| did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The little child that brought me
only good.
And if, some night, when You sit
down to rest.
You miss the elbow from your tired
knee;
This restless curly head from off
your breast;
This lisping tongue hat chatters
constantly;
had slipped,
And ne'er would nestle in your
palm again;
II the white feet into the grave had
tripped-
! could not blame you for your
heartache then.
81 wonder so that mothers ever fret
At their little children ~clinging tc
their gowns:
Or that the footprints, when days are
/. wet,
Are ever black enough TO make
chem frown.
II | could find n little muddy boot
Or cap. or jacket. on my chamber
floor
If | could kiss a rosy restless foot.
And hear it patter In my house

bulletin follows:
One of the most important duties
of our organization within the neNt
few weeks is the selection Of live

select its officers as early as possible
in order to give them an opportunity
to become acquainted with the work
they are to do before being formally
inaugurated. The election is Of sui
ficient Importance to hold a special
meeting.
During the past year il has been u
common excuse of legionnaires when
asked why they were not active III

not like the officers or hat the post
officers were no good. This condition
can only be remedied by every mem

Scripture
Luke s:iI-ie; 1856


And behold. there came u man
named Jairus, and he was "A ruler OF

thronged him.
While he yet spake. there cometh
one from the ruler of the synagogue's
house, saying TO him. Thy daughter is
dead: trouble not the Master
But when Jesus heard IT,, he an
swcred him. saying, Fear not. believe
only. and she shall be made whole.
And when he came into the house,
he suffered no man to 20 in. save

And alt wept, and bcwailed her; but
he said Weep not; she is not dead

And they laughed him to scorn,
knowing that she was dead.
And no put them oil out. and took

to give her meat.
And her parents were astonished
