The Harvard study describes th3 in academic terms but what it all boils down to is that three out of four of these people came to grief because they couldn't get along with their business associate! They just rubbed people the wrorl way Inability to get along with peop'e is the chief cause of as many personal failures in business as in other relationships A man may have definite abilities and the best of training but if there's something in hint that erects barriers and prevents mutual understanding he can't et and hold the aVection and loyalty of his associates And so unable to exercise leadership he becomes a failure PLAYING A SUNDAY SCI1001 TEACHER Colleen Toonsend teaches the parable of the Good Samaritan In line with its moral she opposes efforts of citizens len rid the town of migrants Girl School Has Religion would learn to do by doing" As time went on he made tip his mind to organize a new coin' lege That school would not be handixapped by orthodox methods of 'education But he needed a miln lion dollars to put the idea across Where could he get such a large sum at money? That was the qiesrt that he pondered daily Slow- ly he began to see the light One Saturday afternoon Dr Gunsaulus was sitting in his room thinking of ways and means of raising the money For two years he had been thinking about his project but he had done nothing but think Now he decided to ACT He made up his mind that he would get the necessary million dollars within a week How? He was not sure of that He was only sure he would have success He called the newspapers and announced that he would preach a sermon the following morning on the subject "What I would do if I had a Million Dollars" Before he had finished writing the sermon he had the feeling he would get the million dollars In his excitement on Sunday he left home without his notes for the sermon This was indeed fortunate In the absence of notes he spoke with all his heart and soul about the dream of his life In great enthusiasm he described the plan he had in mind 'for organizing a great educational institution where young people would 'learn to do the practical things and at the same time develop their minds Listen now to his report on that sermon: "When I had finished and sat down a man slowly arose from his seat about three rows from the rear and made his way toward 1 the pulpit I wondered what he was going to do He came into the pulpit extended his hand and said 'Reverend I like your sermon I I believe you can do everything rou said you would if you had a million dollars To prove that I be- lieve in you and your sermon if you will come to my office tomorrow morning I will give you the million dollars My name is 11 Philip Armour'" When Dr GLITISAUILIS went to Mr Armour's office the million dollars was presented to him With that money he founded Armour In- or stitute of Technology These two inspirational stories have been taken from the splen- did book "Think And Grow a Rich" by Napoleon Hill i 11 De is te )f Es I 7 at lk )' 1 it fl 4t 4 1" zi By REV GARTH LittD 1J Hudson Taylor Adoniram Jut' This column is to be a review!

Neither the drug clerk nor the old doctor knew the fabulous fortunes which were I destined to flow from that kettle I The old doctor was glad to sell 1 the outfit for the much needed I five hundred dollars The money paid off his debts and gave him 1 freedom of mind The clerk was taking a big chance but he was 5 willing to do it Gold flowed from that kettle from that day to this 1 The wealth from that purchase has surpassed the miraculous perfor- mance of Aladdin's lamp What the clerk really purchased that day was an idea The old kettle the paddle and the secret 1D massage were merely incidental Napoleon Hill writes: "Whoever 1 you are wherever you may live 1 whatever occupation you may be engaged in just remember in the future every time you see 11 words 'Coca-Cola' that it vast empire of wealth and influence grew out of a single IDEA and A that the mysterious ingredient the 1 drug II with the secret formula was st MAGINATION!"

There were divisions of opininn regularly a right freely exercised in the Baptist church For instance when the first organ was considered a lady member labeled it art "instrument of Satan" The matter of fire insurance was subject of debate "Too many older men felt that the Lord would not let his own burn" the author say but the members found out difg ferently in 1939 when the frame church burned

the church in the forefront as early as 1918 I when national magazines were featuring the church and I a pastor The name Olive runs consis tently through the book First there was Johnson Olive pioneer

Seminary he was exceptionally well prepared lie 11 eeived his practical training the hard out as a sexton In the church There were other pastors but these two along with Hendricks figured' most prominently in the church's growth The first fourteen chapters tell the graphic story of how a rural church can be the strongest in- fluence in a communily "At Olive Chanel the people have always kept the church in first 1 place and religion has directly influenced the affairs of educe-Unit" Mr Hendricks proudly points out Its not that way in MI communities lie tells of one community where a modern con- solidated school plant is valued $210000 while the seven church- es in the communities from i which the children come are valued at only $50000 "Life for children in that community ten- tent mainly in the school They look upon churches as shoddy second-rate institutions half sup- a ported by their elders who con- trot money wealth" The last chapter entitled "Per- I apective" should be required reading for every rural pastor Valuable suggestions are offered whereby the church can strength- tl en its position in the rural corn- I( munity The author bemoans the ir loss that rural communities auf- I fer when the young people move to urban sections taking their ti church membership with them He also challenges rural churches to provide more recreation This is a touchy subject in most churches he admits but offers convincing reasons why it should and cart work without "turning ni It over to Satan" 1111 as SUNSET If you love beauty you know what it is to sit alone on a high elevation and witness the soft brilliance of an evening sunset In such moment you leave behind you the anxieties of life You want nothing to crowd out the beauty of that scene As you sit thus in sweet forgetfulness you are conscious of the hushed silence that precedes the final moments before the opening of a great drama A soft stillness penetrates the soul The tired whistle of a distant locomotive or the solitary call of a bird brings into physical consciousness the silence which the soul has already perceived And now the Isolated clouds In the western horiton seem to bel drawing together as
