"The great secret of subcess is laying by a nest egg and adding to your little store?never spending more thfth you make." 1 "A young man should com band what he is worth, always keeping his eyes opeu to better himself." "Many young men make a mistake 1 in going to oollege and losing the most important part of their lives in filling themselves with knowledge of othei' men's deeds, of no pratical use to the commercial world." "I do not think the life of one who has accumulated a hundred millions, more or less, although interesting, is inspiring." "No one can follow in the footsteps of auother. He must work out his own destiny." "If you observe the rules of honesty, integrity and economy' and fear Goa, you have just as good a chance as any man that may be cited " "Never allow any social obligation to interfere with a business^ engagement." "I have never cared a cent what any , human being said or thought about my actions, so long as I was satis- ' fied." llT /\fo Af DAffAnr VtQQ noiiQorl hi? uuwuinm.i/n u-o v~~Uv-v. men meddling at a game regarding which they knew nothing with fellows who did." "False pride is an enormous obstacle." "Never worry about to-morrow. To-day is the all important issue." "I believe in a young man marrying early in life, if he can marry a sensible girl, who is willing to do her own housework " "Don't watch the clock, the man who does probably would never be missed by his employer." In Ooud Standing. The ice-cold Christian may be a member of the church "in good and regular standing." Yes, and a contributing member, too. He attends Church quite regularly and sing9 in theohoir. When he gets bis "Sunday best" on he looks quite like a Christian, but how does he live? No daily Bible reading. No blessing asked at the table. No family prayers. No Bible instruction for the children. No religious conversation in the home. No private prayer. No attendance at the week-day services. No attendance to the Sundayschool. No Christ in his choice of reading matter. No Christ in his favorite amusement. And only a little of Christ in his bead. Well, what has he, then, which the commonest sinners has not? 1. He has his name on the Church roll. 2. He has his name on the list of contributing members. 3. He lias a pew or au occasional sitting in church. These three things and nothing more to entitle him to the glorious name of Christian. ' If he should suddenly die, he would be given a Christian burial, and these three tbiugs about him would be sure to be mentiooed in the funeral sermon. and held out to the bereaved family as reasons for a blessed OBeurance that be has gone straight to glory, with an abundant entrance. + Look upon the success and sweetness of thy duties as very much deupon the keeping of the iPPBRbsely with all diligence. Acquire the habit of making the best of everything. If disappointments come, bear them with fortitude, aud hope for a better result next time. The constant duty of every man to : his fellows is to ascertain bis own : powers, and special gifts, and to strengthen them for the help of others. t Preaching the gospel in reality and truth is a very great thing, but living . the gospel every day is a far grater, [ The world needs the preaching, but il needs the living far more. / W anted 1 a Ragged ?
