[ wish I could take every minute of¢ time, going into detail; why certain men have succeeded and others failed. I would start’ at the’ Pillsbury Mills, and the great lumber camps of the horth; to the cotton and sugar plants of the south; then from the mines and ranches of the west, to the man- ufocturing centers of industry in the east; from the Carnegie mills and steel plants of Pennsyivania, to the Charley Paige five-miliién dollar farm of Tulsa, Oklahoma. There we would look at his orphanage, supporting and educating 300 fath- erless children, and he sa before he dies, he hopes to be caring for a thousand home: then leave -his sreat estate to care for them after he {s gone. Then we would go back to the greatest mercantile institu: tion on this continent, the center of the Woolworth stores, in the great Woolworth putlding in New ‘York. There I would introduce you to the head of that great mercantile busi- hess, who fs himself a ciean-cut Christian business man. With al- most every head of departments a christian. One of these subordl- nates of his is teaching a gigantic B'ble class in New York of 800 men. My friend, more men fail because they broke their God-given gait, than for any other reason. You are sit- ting here this afternoon, knowing God is speak'ng to you, and explain- ing why much of your trouble has come, and chafing under the accu- sation, You say, “I guess I know how to run my business; don't need the Lord's advice." You put me in mind of a big fool I heard of down at the manufacturers’ convention a few years ago. We had a man from York, an expert on factory ef- ney. His business was to visit a factory that was losing money. and after investigation, point- out the rat-hole where the profits were going. He sald he visited a factory where the principal work was saw; ing fron bars, a third of an Inch in diameter. Other factories in this same line, were prospering; this one was lostig money. The expert went through the plant. and found them using © old machinesy~such as were used a quarter of a century ago. They were; slow-geared machines, taking a long 86-inch stroke to saw a piece of iron a third of an inch in diameter. When he saw the 25 2.3 inches lost motion, and the slow’ snail's pace at which they moved he called the proprietor in, and brought it to his attention, explain- ing to him that his competitors were using high-geared, up-to-date machines that run like greased lightning, In a short quick stroke. He said that proprietor swelled up like a dried prune, and said: “I've been {n this business for 25 years, bnd you was never in my plant be- Wooden ships built by the service, still are being destroyed. off Tidewater, Va and was sold out at auction, “Part- wer, if you've come to the place where you are too thick-skulled to tearn, it's time to knockou in the head. © Russe!] Sage, that great fi- nancier, sald: ‘It's well enough to tend your own business, but if you want to get ahead, you must learn something from the other fellow.” God says to you: “It Is not In man that watketh to direct hig steps.” Without wasting time on the man with sawdust in his head, let us take a look at some of the great men of the nation, In our trip around America, some of us visited most of the great men and businesses, and many acquaintances were thrown in our wey almost by accident. For example, at Washington, D. C., Will Ridgeway, of the tron works, drop: péd in a downtown Sunday school. He was taken to a large class of m@i, and introduced to. the teacher, who was old Chief Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, the second most distinguished man in the nation After he had taught the Word of. God to that tremend- ous class of men, he said: “Boys, I want to Introduce you to my friend Justice Maclaren, of the Qupreme Court of Canad, and that disting- ujshed men. with a head on him ‘ike an ".-°)°epedia Brittaniea, fin- ished th+- = ». There were teach- ing the ! * hat day, in that class, two of the most distinguished men outside of the President and the King, of two nationg Two others of us had an equal surprise, in meet- ing with President Wilson, at an old dilapidated church at ‘the outskirts ot town, We had called on some during the week, in the capital city, and were taking a day of rest, think- ing we wou'd go to the nearest church, but when we entered we saw it was a colored church, and my partnee said: “We better go/to one of our own color anyway," so we crossed the street. and entered an equally dilapidated brick build- ing. There were no fine autos, or elegant carriages in. evidence. It was a church, of the poor peop'e. At the close of the service; imagine our surprise when we staid until after the service. to the tnyivtation given. The request was for the men to remain who were most interested 'n God's work. There on+the front seats, with the handful of men that stayed, most interested in God's work, was President Woodrow Wil- son, and instead of having a few senators and private friends, there fore.
