Clinton News-Record, 1946-10-03, Page 3THURSDAY, qGTODIDR 3, 1946 CLINTON NEWS-IIECORD PAGE THREE 111••••••• "Am I a Success or a Failure in Life" ft "PEG" To every thinking person there, at times, comes the question "Arm I a emi emcees or failure n life?" We mut aIl realize that in ,some aointe we are es failure. We sometimes wonder to what we can attribute our success or on the other hand our failure. The follow- ing story may help to zolve our prob- lem. An office by who had served a company for some three months received the following letter from the head of the firm. "You are advised that from this date your salary has been increased two dollars a week." The hoer, had the courtesy to go to his employer and thank him. Ile, in the course of converastion, was told that he might wonder why he had receiv- ed a raise so soon, but that it was net because he had been on time, had acted courteously or had performed his regular duties well, but it was because when he had finished his work he had gone to see if he could help anyone who was hard pushed to get out necessary work. Be was also informed that it was his duty not only to do his own work well, . but to co-operate with the organiza- tion as a whole. 'Mat," said the employer, "is the type of man we are looking for and you are almost a man," Would you call that success or failure?. Am sure we would be quite in order to say it was auccess. etit any rate we can be assured that our future as far as earthly matters are concerned is ,pretty much in our own hands. Those who have been in the busi- ness worldcan visualize the opposite to the office boy. We have seen young men, and women too, accept a position, and then .set in a very dis- honest way. They will ,come in five or ten minutes late, and will spend considerable time during the day, at- tending to anything but what they are being paid for. Then that class of clerk will wonder why they are not advanced. They are continually losing opportunities for reeking prog- ress iather than seizing every pos. sible chance to make good in the line of work in which they are interested. Opportunity is represented as say- ing: "I shall pass through this world but once," and again "They do me wrong who ray 1 come no more, When once I knock and fail to find lyou in For every day I stand outside your door And knack and bid you wake and else and fight and win." We knew that the same opportun- ity will not return, eat if we miss it let us not be discouraged, God is good. He is merciful, He lmows how we have failed, but He also knows hew we have tried and if we ask Him He will give us another chance, which with His help will prove successful. In the cemetery of one of our country towns is the last resting place of a young man. He was of good English birth but had spent his life in riotous living. In order that the disgrace of hie deeds might not be always before his family he was sent to Chneda. In spite of the prayers which followed him, he here too, got into bad company. When the newe of his untimely death reached his family in their far-off home, his sister spoke Of him as "God's Defeat." There is no sueli thing as God's de- feat. We may think of the case of the young man as each. We reason that God may be defeated when some one goes astraa and passes to the Great Beyond out of the fold when God intended that His free gift of Salvation should be accepted by all. It is not God's Defeat but the defeat brought on by man himself. So it is with success or failure in our lives. To attain success we must have an objective before as and strive day by day to, reach that point to whieh we are aiming. Take for in- stance the two office boys. It is not hard to forsee which of these boys is going to climb the ladder of success, even probably to the President's chair. One never gets any place in this world without hard work. There are, of course, times when we will become discouraged and feel it is not Worth the struggle, very often it is a real etnuggle, but if we finish the dayin that frame of mid and keep praying to God for help He will not fail us and next morning we will start, out afresh and with renewed energy to face the battle and overcome any obstacles winch may come in the way. In the study of e minister was a motto which it would do well for us all to follow "Industry leads, to suc- cess." Nothing but that and prayer will ever give us that objective. Any good thing we want at worth looking for. ' We are at times, inclined to say: "Oh, I cannot do thee" Yes we can with God's help and our perseverance. We must add a little each clay to our objective for if we go back defeat will be ours. Let us keep on hoping and keep that hope sustained by hard 'work. There are times when we are in- clined to be discouraged about what we are doing. We may look forward to the work of the day or of an evening and feel that we cannot ac- complish what we have set out for eurselves to do. Do we every try asking God to help UC? So often the difficulties will just fade away, the shadow will depart and by hard work we can .see the end of our task. ist is the Master Try it. Jesus. Chr behind all success, but He has nothing to do with failure. We, ourselves are the cause of failure. There is not one of us who can tell what we can do until we try. Eeoh step leads on to the next one until success is attained, For many the Whole trend of their liveshas been changed by aecident or illness. The means of earning a livelihood has been swept away and we have faced the futurn bewildered and not know- ing what to do. God will open a new way for us by developing a talent which we little realized we had. Some- one has said "Defeat has never come to a person Who is always thinking .sucess.' Dining the past years life has not been easy for many people, but let us turn the dial of our lives from failure to success and struggle on until our objeetive is reached. We make the little world around us. How much happier we are if we leach our aim of success. We must realize that we osve the suecess of today to the hard working pioneers of years ago. They worked very hard from early morning till late at night. Very, often the father left his, family part way to the land which he had parehased and went on high in the hope that he would be euccesseul in soon having a home pre- pared for them, When this was ac- complished he went back and brought eomplished he went bile's and brought his family and how happy they were as they struggled on in their little log home They alwaye had some objective ahead of them rend in the raajority of cases were very happy just in their own lives, for it was seldom they sew their neighbors. It seems today that many of 'as find that we cannot be happy unless we are rushing around. We have failed very much in not equipping our minds so that we will be company for ourselves. On the day David Livingstone, the great missionary explorer of Africa was buried in Westminister Abbey in 1874, the streets of • London were thronged vvith thoasands of people anxious to pay respect to one of the greatest men of all times. Among them was a poor ad man, ill kept, ragged, and uncared for. He was weeping bitterly. Someone asked the cause of his unusual sorrow. His reply was a lesson to each one Of us: "I'll tell you why. Davie Livingstone and I were born in the same village, brought up in the day school and Sunday Sehool, worked together at the same loom, but Davie went that way end I went this Now he is honored by the Nation and I am neglected, unknown and dishonored." One was a success, and the other a failure, Which ma you and ? Let our daily prayer be: "Dear Master Builder grant that this day I may add to my life something which should make inc stronger, surer, finer and more abiding. Help me to live the kind of life that is Eternal," "To, every man there openeth A way, and ways and a way, And the High Soul climbs the High wale And the Low Soul gropes the Low. And in between on the misty flats, The rest drift to and fro, But to every man there openeth al High Way and a Low, And every ,man decideth The Way his Soul shall go." "PEG" The Minister of Finance announces A NEW BOND ISSUE FOR PEACETIME SAVINGS Canadians are thrifty people. Their record in war financing will stand for many years to come. Through six years, millions saved and in- vested in Victory Bonds and War Savings Certificates in a way no one thought possi- ble. Many thousands learned the con- venience of regular, systematic saving, whether in small monthly amounts or by larger cash investment. As a result they have accumulated substantial personal reserves with all that means in increased future security and satisfaction. Because suggestions and requests have come to me from all parts of the country that facilities for this kind of saving be continued in peacetime, the Canada Sav- ings Bond has been created. The issue of War Savings Certificates and Stamps to the general public will be dis- continued on September 30th, and final instalments on the last Victory Bond issue will have been completed in the near future. Canada Savings Bonds, therefore, will provide an opportune means for citizens to carry on their regular savings habits without interruption. The general public should note that this time there will be fewer salesmen than in the case of Victory Bonds. Although the new Canada Savings Bonds will be sold through banks, authorized investment dealers, stock brokers and trust or loan companies, these agencies. will not be able to approach every individual Canadian. This means that for the most part it will be left to Canadians to assume the respon- sibility for their own purchases of Canada Savings Bonds. If they wish to grasp this opportunity, they should act for themselves without delay. Canada Savings Bonds are designed to be the finest investment available to the public today. I recommend them to you as a safe, profitable and convenient in- vestment for personal savings. I now announce the terms of the new Canada Savings Bonds, which will be offered commencing October 15th, MINISTER OF FINANCE Features of the new Canada St714793. Bonds Interest 2%% by annual coupon.
