sum total of most accidents, most
failures in business and most cal
amities which befall us are not due
in aj large measure to carelessness.
In the hurry and rush of our busy
lives the essential details are often
overlooked, thereby bringing the
tragedies we would so gladly avoid.

At the sunbeam meeting Sun

the sunbeams go in a body and
give him a dime shower. Aftei

John’s home and after the sun
beam secretary made a few fitting
remarks of how we hoped to bring
a ray of sunshine in the form of a
dime shower, the dimes began to
fall all about the cot where the
sick boy sat, and there were quite
a few who took part that have out
grown the sunbeam age, but neve:

An interesting story, with a fine
thrift application, is told about
one of America’s wealthiest men
and most able financiers. When
he was a boy he visited his grand
parents. In the household was an
uncle who never appeared to be
very busy. The boy’s curiosity was
aroused, so he asked his grandfa
ther why it was that this uncle
was able to lead such an easy life.
“He used to work hard but he sav
ed his money and now he is living
comfortably on the interest,” the
grandfather replied.
This made a great impression on
the boy. He had never heard of
interest before but he thought that
if it was such a powerful thing
that it could relieve an elderly man
from all financial worries, it must
be very fine. He resolved that he,
too, would work hard and save all

numerous. His report goes on:
