Patience Ie Essential

"I am convinced that of all qualities esoential to leaderohip, none ie more important than the capacity for patience. Many a man who has both imagination and courage fails to reach the top becauee he expects the crowd to follow his pace. The mob is always a laggard. People, in the main, have only limited vision. They are elow-witted, slow-moving. Original thinking ie, in fact, almoet completcly abeent from the mental proceEses of the average man. Our lives and mindn are moulded into Patterns, pursuc grooves. A new idea hurts at first. Humans have the same properties of inertia characteristic of matter: wc tend to keep on in thc same direction, when set in motion' While at rest, we tcnd eternally to remain so' Let not the leader rail at the sluggi,sh comprehension of the pack' For he will never be free from this compulsion to be patient."-Henry Earnshaw.

Brothers And Sons

By Douglas Malloch

On a dirty foor in a slimY bar

In the ante-room of hell, I have seen them stand with a devil's leer, I have heard the tales theY tell.

I have heard them brag of the brutish things

I have heard them boast of shame, Till I longed again for the Jewish God

For the God who 6mote with fame'

And I wondered much if there lingered still, Not a dream of boYhood's land, Not a tender thought of a mother's kiss, Or a touch of a sister's hand.

For we wander far, and the years go by' And the boyhood vision fades, Yet we are the sons of the mothers of men, And brother to all the maids.

For a woman's name and a woman's fame, They are sweet and frail as flowers, But the strength to wield and the arm to shield For the woman's name' are ours.

Let the God-made man keep his God-made trust

Till his life's last twilight fades,

For we are the sons of the mothers of men, And brothers to all the maids.

Vision

Vision plays an important part in bttsiness success' The man who looks not only ahead but all around him, will see opportunities that are entirely missed by men in the petty routine of immediate afrairs. Without viaion, ideds are impoesible. The spirit of service, the sincere intent to win one's way in the world, thc carnest cndeavor to deliver ju,st a little morc than is expected-these are the products Lf .ri"ion. It takes vision to 8ee that a busineEE is built' not of single orders, but of cuEtomefs. Customers can be carved only from the solid rock of service'

The Tie That Bindg

Give me a wild tie, brother, One with a cosmic urge, A tie that will wear And rip and tear

When it sees my old blue serge.

Oh some will say that a gent's cravat, Should only be seen, not heard, But I want a tie that wlll make men cry' And render their vision blurred. I yearn, I long for a tie so strong, It will take two men to tie it, If such there be, just show it to me, Whatever the Price-I'll buY it.

Give me a wild tie, brother, One with a lot of sins, A tie that will blaze In a hectic haze

Down where the vest begins.

Brevity

An English cub reporter had been soundly lectured by the city editor for relating too many details in hia news stories, and warned to be brief in future. The next day he handed in the following story: "shooting affair last night. Sir Dwight Hopeless, a guest at Lady Panmore's ball, complained of being depressed. He took a highball, his hat, his coat, his departure, no notice of his friends, a taxi, a pistol, and finally his life. Nice chap. Regrets, and all that."

The WhisPer

Up where the samite mountains rise, To greet the blue ethereal skies, And streamlets murmur midst the trees, To join the great eternal seas; The breezes whisper as theY stir The branches of the stately Fir"May fortune's sunlight o'er you play, Make life a gladsome holidaY !"
