T h at piece of work which is but half done will re ceive hut half price in the m arket. I t was not well done and com m ands a price in keeping with its production Instead of doing a half way job it is wiser to expend ju st a little more tim e and execute a splendid bit of work. As a little more tim e on top of a half-w av job with its half price will tu rn out a fin ished product at full price, it should be easy to see th at the la tte r p art of a job — the finished p a rt—is the part which pays th e best. Almost anybody can sta rt a bit of work, but few there are who can properly finish it T hink, too, of the p rid e one has, or should have, in the know ledge th a t he has tu rn ed out a fine piece of work. No m a tte r if you are hired to work for others you are, nevertheless, working for your self. If while em ployed by others you p u t your h ea rt in to your work you are daily im proving yourself, in addition to A M E it IC A N the salary you receive. At all tim es cherish a desire to excel, to be consider ed a fine w orkm an and to feel th a t you can live up to a rep u tation tor the sam e. Feel th a t w hat you have selected for your life work and yourself are equally hon o rab le— be a credit to each other, you and your work. W ith this sort of sp irit there is alw ays success— never failure. IN DUST RIA L ME ETI NG.

Our doctor’s discourse was e n tertain in g and pleasing as well as bewildering. His efforts were accorded much applause. 1 he ch airm an , Mr. M. W. C.-oper, called the m eeting to order and explain ed the aim s and objects of th e s e g ath er ings and after some discussion the rivet ing became very helpful and interesting, and no doubt will prove benefic.al in the future.
