Mr. Henderson also dwelt on the subject of constructive thinking and how success comes to pay the price. § In effect, he said that anyone can | have success if willing to work and pay the price for it.

The troubile with the majority of the working :people today, and one of the great reasons for the industrial depression {in the world, is that men are not intgrested in the things they are doing.” It is the case with thousands ol peoplg, they are living from day to day witl no thought of the morrow, hating to morning with the thought of working at the regular grind during the day, and in general are not satisfied with life. In order to get along a pemz: must have one element that mak life worth while. ‘“Get behind the thing or position you are holding ‘and do your utmost to please,”” was Mr. Hen- derson’s maxim. “I' admit that all of the wfl that we do is done with our five’faysical senses.
