A Poor Prospect.
New Orleans chrixtian Advocate

New Orleans Christian ADVOCATE.
The following little story. which we
came across not long ago, has lesson
that is worth learning by all those who
have any dealings whatsoever with
their fellow-men-and that means
everybody: "Once upon time
young man of twenty three, then
studying for admission to the bar, had
a windfall of $500 from an uncle.
This young fellow had been a farm
hand. carpenter, mule driver and,
finally. teacher in a small rural
school. His education had been hard
earned, under adverse conditions. But
his unexpected fortune enabled him to
revive his earliest ambition-to go to
college. He wrote to three Eastern uni
yersities. He received three replies.
One was formal and cool: one was
cut-and-dried. The other was friendly,
cordial and courteous. 1t was from the
president of Williams College. So
James A. Garfield went to Williams
and the courtesy and warmth of sin
gle answer to an obscure prospect won
for that institution a customer who
later entered the White House"
