Work! Work!
Oh, Cave Scout, you pose as abnormally wise,
With a hat full of knowledge and free with advice,
Now I'm a young fellow, just entering life,
With all of its pleasures and all of its strife.
An average fellow', with average brain,
And I'd like very much to have you explain
Some of the fine points, and rules of the game:
Not that I'm eager for fortune or fame,
But I'd like to hold up my share of the load,
And have my share, too, of the fun on the road.
To get down to cases, what's wanted, I guess,
Is someone to slip me the key to Success.
Well, here is the key, boys, a free gift to all,
The fat and the lean, and the short and the tall,
Whatever in life you are called on to do,
If you pilot a ship or preach from a pew
Whether banker or teamster or butcher or clerk,
Just tighten your muscles and dig in and WORK.
This world is so crow'ded with things to be done,
Our tasks loom before us, but scarcely begun.
There are thousands of things we would do, and we can
Accomplish so little in life's little span!
With earth's magic wonders exposed to his view
God pity the creature with "nothing to do"!
With work so much needed, the wasting of time,
Becomes an immoral, unpardonable crime!
Success? All-wise Providence so has it planned
That highest and humblest on sea or on land
May share the same measure, in equal degree,
Full, soul-refreshing, unstinted and free,
For the joy of success is the beat in your heart
That tells you you're taking your whole, willing part,
Tho' small it may seem as it comes day by day,
Still a world-building part you are trusted to play.
To fail is to dawdle, to idle, to shirk;
Success comes alone through a real love for WORK.
—The Cave Scout—Boys' Life for August.
ADVERTISING
CHRISTIANITY
What World Needs Most Must
be Brought to World's
Notice
This is the time for big things.
Men with big hearts and vision
are needed everywhere. Big events
that will have a tremendous effect
on the world are transpiring.
Christianity is bigger than them
all and needs the biggest men to
place it where it ought to be right
now.
square deal? Are Christians big
enough to place it before the
world so it will be recognized as
the great cure for the diseased
condition of humanity? Christian
ity is what the world needs most
today and to meet that need it
must be advertised.
Advertising in its early history
was announcement, but successful
modern advertising is a red-hot
message that drives the reader to
the goods. The message extols
the product, not the maker. Chris
tians need to advertise what they
have to offer, but as yet they have
gotten no further than announc
ing churches and preachers. They
need to advertise everywhere the
attractions, benefits and advant
ages of Christianity in burning
messages that will drive readers
to seek religious satisfaction.
Where
advertised?
They are the recognized means of
publicity everywhere. Buy space
in them and pay for it, not beg it.
Do the Lord's business right.
How shall Christianity be ad
vertised? Run advertisements
regularly, using as much space as
possible and change copy often.
Publish from the Bible, quota
tions that will lead the readers to
higher thoughts. Publish local
testimonials showing the power of
God to transform human lives.
Show how every community is
benefited by Christianity but has
many grafters who accept the
benefits and let others pay the
bills. Show how the teachings of
Christ can be constructively ap
plied to the social, industrial and
political questions of the twen
tieth century.
The newspaper is a medium that
is being read. It offers the-great
est opportunity to reach the peo
ple and show them the solution of
all their troubles.
Will Christianity get a
shall ' Christianity be
In the newspapers. I
How shall the expense be met?
Each Christian church of a city,
town or any community should
contribute regularly a certain
percentage of its income for the
local advertising of Christianity.
This fund should be pooled and I
should be in the hands of a perm-'
anent local organization, possibly ;
incorporated, composed of repre-j
sentatives from each church or 1
denomination. These représenta- !
tives should be progressive lay-,
men and ministers who know i
business and advertising. A com-;
mittee of at least one member j
from each demomination repres- ;
ented should write the copy for
the advertisements.
Is the plan practical? Yes, if
you are too big to allow denomi
national differences, jealousies
and selfishness to block the way.
Are you big enough to help ad
vertise Christianity and get the
wonderful results that are sure to
follow? If so, start something,
and do it now. It can be done.—
George W. Alexander, Baltimore,
Md.
THE MYSTERY
OF PERSONTLITY
"Why is it," asks a philosopher,
"that certain persons, for no rea
son that you can explain leave
upon you a distinct and unforget
able impression of some sort,
while others, seen for approxi
mately the same length of time
and under more or less the same
circumstances, leave little of no
impression and are extremely dif
ficult to remember at all?"
The mystery of personality—it
has been the subject of discussion
for a thousand years. When it is
solved then the above question
will have been answered, of
course. But it is such a mystery
that it is always interesting to
talk about it.
"Love at first sight" is a com
mon enough expression and is not
an infrequent fact. And hate at
first sight is just as common. At
least we meet persons who at first
glance repulse us and are never
able thereafter to ga4n our con
I fidence. Most of our likes and dis
likes are momentary flashes; they
are formed before we really have
time to study or reflect.
One of the strange freaks, or
mysteries, of personalities is
where three persons are involved.
Two of the three dislike each
other to the point of hatred. But
both of them are very fond of a
third person, and the third person
likes both the first and second,
although the two are the direct
antithesis the one of the other.
There are men who have to go
over the names of their friends
very carefully when making a list
of guests for dinner lest they in
vite two persons who would be
antagonistic to each other. Verily
there is no greater mystery of life
than the mystery of personality.
