HOT SHOT
BY THE REV. CHARLES STELZEL
You cannot always judge l:ow
well a man has aimed by what he
hits. There’s many a fellow who
has tho reputation cf a winner,
who really f.ita the bulls-eye by a
chance shot. It isn’t always the
gun which makes the lc-udest rcr
port that doss the most business.
The c‘ ap who shouts loudest usually
says the le-st. For effective work
a cannon must be one hundred times
heavier than tho shot tt fires. The
“light weight’’ on th'a job is apt
to suffer from the recoil—and its
sure to come. There are many
kinds of guns, but none of them are

self-firing—except the kind that do
mischief. It requires good ammuni
tion, steady aim, and a definite
mark, if a man. is to makei good.
Some men have wasted so much
time getting an aim in life, that they
have forgotten how to pull the
trigger—the game's gotten away
while they’ve been thinking about
the way they’ll begin to get ready.
There are times when it pays to fire
in battallions, but for ordinary pur
poses, its the single, well-aimed
shot that counts. A man may not
always hit the bulls-eye, but it is
safer to keep on trying than to
s’ake ones reputa'ion upon a good
chance s! o*.
