TO BE tfCCESSFrL.
The desire to be succetsful is a noble
ambition to be indifferent it despicable.
The essential elements of success are char
acter, energy, industrv.economj' .accuracy.
perseverance, promptness, courage, self
ontrol, self-dcntal,temperance. Charact
er is the corner stone of them all the
ground work of a happy, useful and sue
c:ssful life. A good name is rather tote
chosen than great riches is as true to-day
a vhen written ages ago. Cultivate all
these qualities. You cannot afford to spare
any of them. With them there will be
opening on every side ; with them you
will make your mark ; with them you
will be in demard ; with them you will
win ; with them you w ill be indispensable
to your employ er and to rise to a height of
which you little dream. The spending of
your time and money at this institution
indicates that you 'desire to better vour
condition and prepare yourselves for high'
er positions and influence than you could
otherwise obtain. The great need of the
day is good men and women. Even in the
dull season of the year there are positions
for them. Over every door may be seen
the sign, "good men wanted." Enter,
seek. And now may 1 venture a few
suggestions after you enter ?
Don't ask what are the hours tr how
many holidays you are to have and what
will be the length of your summer vaca
tion. Don't ask if your salary will be increas
ed at the end of the first six months or at
the end of the year. Do not even ask
what the salary will be rather let the
question be met bv the other side. While
some of these matters are to be considered
do not be in haste about them. Simply
tell what you can do and your earnest de
sire for a situation where you will have
opportunity for development and useful,
ness. Vany a person has lost opportuni
ties by asking some of these questions. I
have a case in point at my own works.
There was a vacancy at the head of one of
the departments. 1 sent for a man whom
I regarded as capable of filling it. It was
a place in which he could have made his
mark and been in line of promotion. His
very first quetion -"what will you pay ?"
so disgusted me that as soon as I could
I let him retire. Five years have passed
and he is still at work il the same bench
from which he came to confer with me
regarding a better position, and in all pro.
Damiity lost the opportunity of his .ife.
When a situation is obtained and you
are asked when you could commence.ans-
wer "immediately," (if It is possible.) even
though it be an ong the last hours of the
last day of the week.
Resolve to be faithful in everything.
ue on nand among the first and among the
last to leave. Be prompt to answer any
demand and to execute any task. Make
yourself guardian of your employer's
property. Avoid waste and discourage it
in others. Never speak lightly oi your
employers or your associates. Whatever
you do let It be well done. Good enough
will not answer. Let perfection be your
aim. Let the work of to-morrow excel
that of to-day. No one will succeed un
less he possess resolution and an earnest
desire to excel. Do r.ot rely upon chance
or the good words or aid of friends to ad
vance you but be the architect of vour
own fortune.
Establish a reputation for promptness
and fair dealing. Do not consent to do a
wrong act for your employ ers better lose
your situation. Let all of your transac
tions be based upon Integrity and make
your "word as good as your bond." It is
a fallacy that unfair advantage must be
resorted to or misrepresentation made to
succeed In business. Spend as many
spare hours consistent with duty and
health In sti-dy and reading, and especially
prepare yourself for the work in which you
are engaged.
And this means work. Patient, self-denying
work is the price of success. There
is no other road. Ease and Indolence noc
only squander capital but, what is worse,
one's nerve power. Many years ago it
was written that man should earn his
bread by the sweat of his brow. Some
have considered this a curse, and it is so
considered by many, when It should be re
g.iidcd as one of God's best g'fts. If there
was needed another beatitude I know of
none better than blessed is the man who
works, or, to make it hortcr, blessed be
work. Dismiss from your mindf the
thought that good days will come to you
through any other source than work.
The woild has as yet scarcely begun to
comprehend the varied uses to which
electrical force may be put. The pecu
liarity which distinguishes this force is its
easy and cheap transmissibility. Given a
wiie.and force generated ten, fifteen, twen
ty or more miles distant mav be transmit
ted wherever needed. This is causing un
used power in many places where it has
been supposed beyond the reach of man's
dominion, to come under his control.
Mountain streams in Switzerland, hereto
fore valued only as objects of curiosity to
sight-seers, now contribute to the prosper
ity of vi'lages five or ten miles beneath
them. From the dalles of the St Louis,
where a river falls five hundred feet, near
Duluth, power is to be furnished by elec
tricity, which wiU not only light the city, ',
but give an enormous amount of power
for ether uses. Near the seashore, ocean
tides, whose vast power exceeds that of all
the steam engines in the world, will very
probably be largely changed to electrical
force.and thus be made useful to mankind
beyond what cauid now be thought possi.
