When vou have borrowed five dollars ' of an acquaintance, which you intend never to pay back, vou account! yourself live dollars ahead, but you are not. You have knocked another prop out from under your own underpinning. Ar.d when a nun. limit of any sort has trusted you, and you do not pay tho debt or try to, you are not the gainer by the transaction. You have caused your discredit to be recorded in another man's black list. This man will tell others that you are not good and tlK.se others will not trust you, and, before you know it, every -man's hand will eem to ba against you. You will not have a friend whose friendship will be worth anything to you. In other words, you have squandered your patrimony at I he threshold of your adult lifej for tho best capital a young man csn have to enter business with is an unblemished credit, a reputation for paying his bills. Tho business world is not overly exacting in its standards. You can do a great many wicked things' if you want to and still preserve your standing if you onlv pay your bills. Paying bills covers a multitude of sins in the business world, but though vou were as exemplary in your conduct as a holiness disciple, you will be as devoid of real friouds as a pole-' cat uyou owe everybody and pay nobody.
