ONLY THE BEST
One of the country*3 most noted indus
trialists was asked$ recently'^ to what
he attributed his success# He replied:
nTo the fact that I have engaged only
the best workmen#n Although he did not
speak of his own characteristics, he
was a man who had given all of himself
to.every work he undertook#. He knew
the need of securing only the, best em
ployees# As a result, he had earned
not merely the material rewards which'
come to such.as he, but a reputation
as a foremost builder in his nation#
We know of certain costly govern
ment 'projects which have crumbled,
after a short time, although the con
tract awarded .for them called for the
best materials and workmanship. Both
proved to be inferior, . and so, even
tually, more funds had to be expended
to right the wrong, which was ^.consid
erable# ’• :
The patron of a neighborhood store
remarked to the clerk who served him:
nI come here, although it is a little,
out - of my way,' because I am’ always
satisfied .with wh$t I - .receive*” The--. .

Tilerk replied: nWe always try to give *
the best and most at as reasonable
price as possible.”
The best and most. Every truly
successful enterprise was founded on
this principle. In the home, in the
school, in public life, all should be
the best and the most, in effort,
determination, and workmanship, Many
a home has been broken up because the
homemaker did not take the pains to
make it a haven of security and con
tentment. Not the best and most, but
the least and worst was given to it.
And so, eventually, it was broken up
and ceased to exist as a home.
When we figure on the best and
most — What about God? Where does He
come in? Above all others, He deserves
the utmost any of His creatures can
render to Him. Does He receive it?
From faithful souls, yes. From the
rest, no. We are urged to pray for the
security and peace of our country, and
this is a grave need' of the times.
Should we not sometimes pray that God
may, come into His Own in hearts that
are far from Him? An old, saint remind
ed us of this when he said: "God is
satisfied with little, but that little
must be cjdr all!” * - • -
