AS A MAN THINKETH

If man thinks everyone is
against him, he will soon begin to
treat them so they will be. If he
thinks everyone is his friend, he will
treat them right, unconsciously, and
they soon will be his friends. The
man who lives his daily life accord
ing to this formula has in his make
UP spark of sound and true philos-
ophy that will make his life brighter.
If we put into all the relations with
our fellows a full measure of friend
illness and good will, we are pretty
sure to get it back, full and over
flowing. On the other hand, if man
is suspicious Of everybody, everyone
will be suspicious of him.
The world needs friendliness, and
kindness, and good will. Not Sun
days only, but every day of the week,
and every hour of the day. Think
friendly thoughts, If you've got q
soul, don't be ashamed of it. Bring
it into the office and shop with you
For the soul is the source and the
fountainhead of every good and wor.
/ thy impulse. Put your faith in men
Believe they are your friends, anC

The Union Mans Duties

AS union men, we should take stock
of ourselves and remember our meet
ing nights and the duty a union man
owes to the union in which he has
taken solemn obligation. All we
have to do is to ask ourselves lew
questions, and our conscience will give
us the direction in answering them.
Did you ever ask yourself some OF
these questions?
"What kind of a union would my
union be if all its members were ike
me? Do | observe, even to small
extent, my obligation by attending a
meeting at least once a month
What do | do toward making my
union richer in good fellowship and
in service to myself and others? Do
| act toward my union as union
man should and as people believe |
do when my union button catches
their eve? Have | helped to uplift
others less fortunate than | am, and
am | ready to do so now and to work
on committees to that end? Have
| paid my dues, or am | one who
leans on others, letting the members
who have paid carry the burden which
should be mine?"
How would your past conduct en-
able YOU to answer these questions
Also, what could you say if you We're
asked if you know, or even care
whether or not your union can pay its
just bills which you helped to create
And do you, at times, attend meet
ings where you enjoy free lunch
and a good show while your dues are
not paid? Do you know what your
union is doing in the way of sick
death and disability benefits, and Of
its great work in upbuilding the con
ditions of humanity, thereby assist
ing in community welfare among The
unfortunates living about you, and dc
you help so that more can be don,
along this line? Did you ever brint
new member to your union?? Di,
you ever talk to a fellow worker
pointing out to him the benefits 0

union? Have you helped to promot
