Rabbi Abram Simon of the Washing

ctpal speaker at today's meeting.
He called upon the workers to emu
late Joshua, who commanded the moon
TO stand still
Joshua won the battle" he said,
mot because the sun or moon stood
still, but because in those two or three
hours were packed six or seven hours OF
energy. The day appeared longer. l
am sure that you will so act that in the
few hours that are left you Will put
twice the amount of enthusiasm and
twice the amount of energy ana II Will
appear as if you have done dozen
hours of work when in reality you VIII
only have worked six.
"fI urge that you allow no type OF
disappointment to discourage you. Do
not indicate by word or expression that
You are discouraged. Success is its own
contagion., Enthusiasm is its own IN
fection."
