ference in Toronto says :—"I have
taken God into business with nee, as
any man can do who carries an

have gone into have I made a failure.
I have insisted that companies I was
helping to form should have incor-
porated in their By-laws, a rule, that
ten per cent, of the profits should be
used in the amuse of Christ. I have
had to fight pretty hard sometimes.

kept paying 1300 a year to the

out and in four years that concern
went bankrupt. Can you tell me that
