.1. .1. Newberry, head of the national retailing
chain system that hears his natne. recently sent a mes-
sage to store managers throughout the country which
contains, in simple, forceful language, fundamental
truth;* that apply to all of us.*—*
He wrote: "The per-on who makes his job the
most important thing in his life, other than taking
care of his family, and who has common sense and in-
telligence to apply to his job, should be entitled to
greater success and rewards than the orte who only
wants to work eight hours a day. five days a week...
“Everything, in the way of fahning, mining, man-
ufacturing and distribution must keep on expanding
to give work to the increased population and to pro
duce and distribute the larger requirements of more
people. This will call for more and more leaders of
industry,
"Those leaders will be the people who have such
enthusiasm for their work they would rather stay on
the job and see that w hich they are interested in pro-
gress and grow than to spend their leisure time at less
important pursuits. ...
'When you hear bright young people talking about
working only forty hours a week who expect equal
compensation with the man who loves his work en-
ough to put the. necessary time in to make his com-
pany grow', then you owe it to such a person to tell
him how wrong his ideas are.”
This is an old-fashioned doctrine. It is in opposi-
tion to the new and engaging theories of the more ad-
vanced social and economic planners. But, whether
we like it or not, it Is a theory which is solidly sup-
—ported by centuries of human experience—and hu-
man experiment. There is no substitute for produc-
tion—which simply means there is no substitute for
w ork. A genius may find an easy short cut to success,
hut the number of geniuses at large at any time can
almost he counted on one man’s fingers. Mr. New-
born has restated truths w hich if abandoned and for-
gotten. will lead to individual tragedy'and failure—
and to the deterioration of the strength and pride of
the country.

CLENCHED FISTS ANI) OPEN HANDS
Clench your fists. Now you have in your hands a
two-fisted symbol of force. You are ready to fight!
^ our mind has become tense. Thoughts of anger and
fear surge into your consciousness. Approach another
man with your fists clenched and watch him clench
his own. He. too. is ready to do battle. Of course, you
may not come to actual physical blows, but you are
meeting in an atmosphere charged with antagonism
and mistrust. Your minds are closed as tightly as your
fists.
Now. open your hands. As you open them you will
find >our tension leaving. Your body will begin to re-
lax. Your mind will open iip. The open hand can hold
no weapon; it can conceal no knife of treachery- It is
a symbol of peace, understanding, good will. It takes
an open hand to pat man on the back, to help pull a
man up to higher ground, to join hands with others id
a common cause, to type a letter, to paint a picture, to
perform an operation, to design a skyscraper, to plant
a garden, tq turn the pages of a book.
Closed fists make clubs of hands. They are only
good for fighting or pounding tables. Open hands can
fro to work in thousands of constructive ways.
Take a look at those two open hands of yours. They
are tooLs with which to sen e, make friends, and reach
out for the best in life. Open hands open the way to
achievement. Put them to work today.

A lad told me this atory. Be had
a neighbor who had never been to
Sunday school, and he wanted to
enlist this friend. He thought
about It seriously. But he was not
guile sure of himself. And then he
prayed, asking GotNe-direct him.
The next day the boy asked him,
“Whal are you doing Sunday
morning?" With this opening the
lad invited his neighbor to come
along with him. and the resalt
was that the little neighbor, of an-
other race, accepted Christ as his
Saviour and Is today a regular
