Thousands of young mein who are receiving good isalaries, some. of them very large, never think, of laying up e dollar for a rainy dday. They ,never see anrytlung In their salaries but a "g+ood tune," and they never develop the habit of sayiege You ask them how they axe dotting, and they wiel'say, "Oh just getting alongi," 'Just mak- ing e living," "Just holding ,my own:' Just making a bare lilting es net get- ting on. The difference between, what you •earn and what; yam spend is power It ,often measures the distance between success` and failure, We .all admire the man who ;cart keep an appointment an time, the man whe, when he says he will ibe there at a certain time, will he there, rain or shine; the mane who, when he says he will deo something far a friend, can be 'thoroughly relied ore to do it. The thing we admire about, him: is ihlsj a+bii- ity to keep a promise. Unfortunately Inotvmany people treat their promises in aa easy-going sort of sways, keeping them when it is easy to . do Iso and neglecting them nvhem they pleases? There• is a double .loss. In this way lief dealing -.the loss of actual keeping of the promise itself ter the cine \tvho expected it, and -what is a geed deal mare serious -the loss of that sense of xel'iance in ,the one of whom the fulfillment was expected. 'The ideal for all to copy is the man t- whose words and deeds coincide, the man whose word is as' goad as his band.
