Why Is First Loss Smallest =?

The first loss is the smallest. the bus
mess woman says, and you may Won
der why 1t is the smallest, and what APP
plication that principle has in your life.
Your husband will tell you that success
full business concerns do not try to post
pone the taking of loss Instead they
take the loss whatever form 1t may be
in, and try to make up for 1t as quickly
as possible
There is tendency in all things that
lose value to lose 1t constantly and in
creasingly
For example your roof leaks You
find that the entire roof is defective in
some places. You put off repairing the
roof. Gradually the whole roof requires
replacement. If you had repaired 1t at
once your loss would have been smaller.
Another example is in the matter of
securities. If you have speculated and
a stock has declined in value. there Is a
tendency to wait for return to the old
price or a higher price. Perhaps the
new level of the stock is its true one.
PoStponing the taking of ones loss
may mean heavier one eventually. II
the loss Is taken quickly 1t may be rela-
lively slight.
You may own real estate which you
bought during a boom. The boom may
be over and your property may be worth
less today. with every indication of
being worth less soon. Optimism. faith,
or stubbornnoss may incline you to hold
On, and wait for your price" Practical
business judgment urges that you sell
now and recoup your loss in another in
veStment
Your loss" may be in motor car
which has not lived up to expectations.

A Sermon for Today
Where Liberty Is Found.
BIZ REV. John r. GUEN.

Text: 80 shall I keep Thy Law con-
Hnualiy for ever and ever. And / VIII
walk al liberty: for seek Thy pre-
cepts "-Ps., cZix.44-45
The planets find their liberty by fol-
loving their sun
The river finds its liberty by keeping
within It's banks and following its
course
so man finds his liberty by seeking
the Divine preceptS and keeping within
the boundary line Of the Divine law.
The world is not an open common
0n which We may wander at will There
are fences on all sides and we have
20 stay within these fences. We cam
net 60 beyond them except az our own
peril Ali along on these fences there
are signs posted, No Trespassing
Allowed" II we fail TO observe this
warning, If al any point along the way
of life we get on the wrong side Of
the fence before We have gone many
steps an ayenging keeper Of some sort
meets US and says 10 US, "TrespasSers,
rack 70 the road"
We talk about liberty. We wish 10
be free from The restraint and restrsc-
tion imposed by law. II Is only by
keeping within the Law that We cen
walk al liberty and b. free from It's
restraint and restriction,
This is the principle DAVID enun-
eiates In the text; 80 shall ! keep
Thy law continually for ever and ever.
And I will walk at liberty for ] seek
Thy precepts."
Liberty does not imply license 10 dc

In training children it is better to
use positive suggestions than negative
ones. For instance: If Billie and are
walking down the street and he dis
plays tendency to run into the street,
say: Billie let's see how close you can
walk to the edge of the sidewalk with
out getting off," or, See how straight
line you can walk down the center
of the walk" Billie straightway begins
to walk in a proper fashion. not only
this one time but every time we go out.
A child resents a negative criticism but
delights in one which suggests doing
something new.
