Dear Children: This issue I am
going to dedicate to Our boys, be
cause l have a little sermon on the
Golden Rule, that [ want them to
read, and clip, and remember.
OF course | want the girls to dc
that too. but more OF our boys 80
into the work day world than our
girls, so L feel that this sermon be
longs more to them.
After you have read this, I wish
you would write me just what you
think of the Rev. James Gordon s
ideas on applying the GOLDEN
RULE 10 Business?
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA
From an address by the Ruv
James l.. Gordon. before the San
Francisco Printers Board of Trade
His subject Can the Golden Rule
Be Successfully Applied to Busi-
ness?"
The Golden Rule is the world S
standard of fairness, of honesty, OF
impartiality, OF honor, squarness anC
rectitude. Can it be applied in bust
ness! And | answer that question
by asking this question: Can any
other rule except the Golden Rule
be applied in business! is there any
other rule by which anything worthy
of the title of business can be
achieved.
Is there any business in rascality
Is there any business in meanness'
Is there any business in low cum
ming? Is there any business in low
quality? Is there any business ir
poor work? Is there any business
in short measure? When a mar
throws his conscience over board, is
that a business transaction? Is {
syster q business man? Is Il faker {
business man? Is CRATER a bust
ness man? Is double dealing to b(
classed as business?
What is business? If we are tt
apply the Golden Rule to business
what is busin ess? L will give you &
definition of business to which the
Golden Rule is the only rule that
can be applied. BUSINESS IS 4
SERVICE RENDERED, THE
QUALITY AND WORTH OF
WHICH EQUALS THE PRICE
CHARGED AND ADMITS OF" A
FAIR PROFIT. That is business
1t seems to me that if we are to have
anything worthy Of the name, title
and appellation of business, there
is only one thing that will meet Il
and match it, there is only one Trims
