THE CHURCH CORNER
Chariot. Not Crosse.

''The chariots of God are twenty thousand, even thousands ef angela The Lord Is among them"
 There is no living being in this world, in the garden of whose heart there does not grow a most obnoxious weed. It's roots are deeply embedded, its branches wide and dense. No one escapes it and only very valiant souls .aa tHis monster, whose function is to distort and diseolor everything with which it comes in contact.
 So binding, distortine and untruth- ful Is Che miasma thrown out by this unelean growth. that hardly any of Us ever see the dangerous thing we house. few recognize its true form, and as l said before, only strong vaii- ant souls see the monster parasite. re- coenize it's deadly opposition to all spiritual advancement, and kill.
 Self Pity: That is the plain un- yarnished name of the base from which large majority of our thoughts and actions spring; that Is the morbid growth within us. which makes Us % among our friends talk ing of crosses which have been laid upon us. trials We have been forced to bear. Think honestly for a moment and l think we shall be forced to ad. init that there are very few of us who do not positively enjoy telling our friends of the martvrdoms. the mlssss- ies. which are being constantly heap ed upon us.
 IL Is not so friends; there Is not one particle of truth in such a thought or statement. The real truth is. that the dense growth of self pity within your heart Is hiding all light of reality from your vision.
 No human being has any crosses, any misery. any troubles thrust upon him. but. we are required-and very justly 1t seems to me-~to bear and carry the exact effects of those causes which we ourselves have set in mo- tion.
 So let us pick up our own burden willingly. fasten it upon our own shoulders with the straps of clear un- derstanding, cheerfulness, love and obedience for. and to the law, then opening wide our eyes with undistort- ed vision, we shall see, instead of crosses, all about us Gods chariot golden chariots-waiting to carry us easily and swiftly on our way.

 that this wastes time and it is the business of a salesman to sell his ar ticle and give satisfaction in the shortest possible time and not enter into a long debate or discussion with the purchaser.
 The salesman or clerk is repaid to the extent that he serves according to the speaker and therefore if he wishes to have large returns. he should give good service. Content ment comes with success and that is what everyone throughout the world is seeking. Nowadays everyone is locking for a good man and if a man is a worker and shows that he has ability he will have good position. h closing Mr. Barrus said: Tn the lend, when the great scorer writes your name in his book, he writes not wheeler you have won or lost, but how you played the game"

INSPIRING ADDRESS
 ON SALESMANSHIP
William BarruSS Tells Clerks How to Improve Effectiveness

Speaking to large assembly of
 clerks and salesmen in Grotto hall last evening under the auspices of the
 Mercantile Bureau of the Chamber Of Commerce, William Barruss "inspira-
 tional sales councillor" of Kansas City, Mo, urged them to go with the tide and not to try 'and fight their way against it. Mir. Barruss said that every man should first learn in what
 way the tide was running, then make
 the jump and try to improve himself as best he could.
 l The experience that teaches us is our own experience and not the eX- 1 perience of someone who has gone
 before us," he said. Many times, i however, we could profit by the eN- fperiences of great men if we would 1 only allow ourselves but it is human nature that every man thinks he has & better way and can do thing bet i ter than any one else"
 1 The speaker in contrasting the wisher and the wanter said that a wisher is one who dreams of greater l things to come but lets his efforts cease with the ending of the dream. A wanter is one who dreams, and has l the ability and the ambition to make his dream a reality, The difference between a wisher and a wanter is the difference between success and fail ure, according to the speaker.
 Mr.gBarruss said that when q GUS toner was encountered by salesman the salesman should ask himself why the purchaser should buy from him, rather than from someone else. The next move in making a sale is 10 show the purchaser why he should transfer
New Britain herald., 1924-02-28

his hard earned money from his pocket to the salesman. Every sales man should be original and should not allow himself to become petrified and have a one channel mind. He should point out the main features of his article and stress these features to the would-be purchaser.
 Speaking on worry and fear as the destroyers of qualities in salesman the speaker said that the danger in worry is what it will do to you and not what it will do to something else. He said it is the duty of everyone to do away with worry and fear by work ing to the best of their ability and achieving something worth while which will more than make up for whatever incident has caused the worry in the past.
 A'r Barrus said that anyone can have anything lie wants if he, is willing 10 pay the price and that 10 one knows the extent of his resources or ability until he calls on them. He said that the salesman of today have chances that have not been excelled for number of years and spoke of sa,esmapship as being in it's infancy.
 The speaker said that every sales man should have self-confidence and a n,an may acquire his quality by be- con ing thoroughly. acquainted with his goods. The difference between and conceit is a marked one. A man who is self confident knows his own abilities and keeps the knowledge that he has to himself until he gets a chance to show it. A conceited man is a man who keeps impressing on other people how very capable he is until his at titude makes him unbearable to the common run of people.
 The speaker stressed the point of treating the opinion of customer with some consideration and said that even if the clerk or salesman realizes that the purchaser is wrong he should not endeayor to impress it on him simply for the object of showing the customer that he. the salesman, is right and that the customer is wrong. Barrus told of going into stores and seeing clerks engaged in debates with customers over minor things. He said

we'll see why an American fireman must be not

While our firemen deserve all praise, American
