THE PENNIES OF
EDWARD ANSELE

Maybe you never heard of Edward |
Ansele, and yet he is one of the truly |
g eat men of our age. No, he is not
soldier, statesman, or a billion
aire. Ansele is just a common, ordin-
airy weaver. although to-day he is the
head of TIE biggest business institution
in Belgium. Let me tell you the story
Of Ansete, and the kind of business he
started.
Some thirty years ago the weavers
Of the City Of Client had lost strike.
Bread was dear and harder to get than
ever So Ansele induced some of his
fellow strikers to scrape up enough
pennies to start bake shop of their
own. The bake shop they started was
not even a one-horse concern, because
the lonely baker had only dog to
help him pull the delivery cart. How
ever, there was a wonderful idea con-
nected with that cellar bake shop and
it was this: The poor weavers agreed
that for every loaf of bread sold to
themselves one penny of the savings
should go into a common fund with
whichto build up new order in which
there should be neither strikes nor
hungry children crying for bread.
I Don't you think that dream of these
weavers was about the most ridiculous
idea ever originated in the heads of
men? But don't laugh yet.
The one-dog bake shop grew and
grew, and the more loaves it baked,
the more pennies it saved. To-day
that bake shop bakes two hundred
: thousand loaves per week and every
: week it saves two hundred thousand
pennies.
: There is a magnificent department
store in the City of Client, the biggest
store of all. There are play rooms, Ii
> braries and restaurants. A concert
: hall and theater where weavers and
" other working folks can enjoy the best
" from eats to art.
: There are rooms in the House Of
: the People of Client" where great ar
lists paint and mold to tell the story of
T toll on canvass and in bronze.
= There are farms of many thousands
= of acres not far from one city Of
= Client where the milk and butter and
+ cheese and meat is made and raised
+ for the Weavers of Client.
There are Fairgrounds on the shore
of the English Channel where the chill
5 dren gambol in sand and water, drink
IS ing in health and joy. They are no
> the children of the pampered rich
l. They are the babies of the Weavers o
r Client.
And it all came from the penny
= saved on each loaf baked by the bak
ers of Grent. Ansele saw the powe
of little things united in a common
cause. He based his dream on tn
o smallest coin and made the dream
come true
Yes, the common people can d.
: wonderful things if they stick togeth
3 er, stick together and work together
But first of all they must learn tc
think together and then the othe
things will follow. The mission of tht
Leader is to unite the minds of us lit
tie folks into one great mind SO tha
some day we may be able to lift on
class, by our own strength, from brut
existence to higher plane of life.
So spread this Leader missionar
