There comes, at tho same time.
a breath Of practical philosophy
concerning success from another
American, business leader, Mr..
Eastman Of Kodak fame, who
also has been giving many Of his
millions to education and other.

Mr.. Eastman makes q state

personally has lost its Importance
to me-"
But he retains his devotion to
his business, and his great ambi-

ness, and in that love his bust
ness grew.
In these cases, as In SO many
that have preceded them, we see
shining out the true glory Of
American business-its idealism;
an idealism that does not inhabit
the clouds, but deals with solid
affairs and so becomes the inspir-
ing soul of the most stupendous
business successes that the world
has known. In these cases, too,
we see that sympathetic relation
between great business In Amer

ress, which is stared at with so
much bewildered admiration in
Europe, where, in such affairs.

KR. DUKE. the tobacco nul.
NV timillionaire, who has Just
AVA given many millions for
education and charity, Is credited
. with two remarks about himself,
which throw a bright light on the
psychological secret Of success.
The first is
az have succeeded in business,
not because / have more natural
ability than many people who
have net succeeded, but because
I have applied myself harder and
stuck to 1t longer"
Similar avowals have often been
made in confidential moments by
other greatly successful men Of
business, but Mr.. Duke has put
the matter with uncommon brew.
1ty. force and clearness.
Standing by itself, however,
this statement leaves something
to be desired since it does not re-
veal the psychological source Of
the intense application that brought
such overwhelming success. But
the lack is supplied by Mr.. Dukes
second remark:
II loved business better than
anything else. l was sorry to
leave off at night and glad when
morning came, so that could get
at 1t again"
When put together these two
statements have the logical force
of elementary demonstrations In
mathematics, whose very SIM
plicity, nevertheless, sometimes
causes them to glide over the sur.
face Of the learners mind without
penetrs ting-too crystal-clear to
be effectively seen.
Do Not Worship Success
Unsuccessful persons are con-
tinuaNy wondering and complain
ing because others get along bet
ter than themselves. They scar
their energies with envy, while
shutting their eyes to the only
secret that could help them. That
secret is love OF your work.
secret which lies so open that
millions look right through 1t
without seeing 1t. Do not worship
success, for success lie only an

Oh, hush thee little Dear-my Soul,
The evening shades are falling
Hush thee, my dear, dost thou not hear
The voice of the Master callingi
Deep lies the snow upon the earth,
But all the sky is ringing
With joyous song, and all night long
The stars shall dance, with singing.
Oh, hush thee, little Dear-my-Soul,
And close thine eyes in. dreaming,
And angels fair shall lead thee where
The singing stars are beaming.
A Shepherd calls His little lambs,
And He longeth to caress them;
He bids them rest upon His breast
That His tender love may bless them
So, hush thee, little Dear-my Soul,
Whilst evening shades are falling,
And above the song Of the heavenly throng
Thou shalt hear the Master calling.
