NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, Er—m-uw 1010 MEN WELCOME REV. JOHN L. DAVIS Big Attendance at Everyman's Blble (lass One thousand and ten gttended the session of the Everyman's Bible class yesterday morning and welcomed Rev, John J. Davis back to the class after his two week's trip to Bermuda Memorized Poems of Guest During his trip Rev. Mr, Davis re celved as o gift, a hound volume of the poems of Edgar Guest. The min- ister memorized a list of those poems and adapted them in their order to the geries of talk on psychology he has been giving. The topic of his ad dress yesterday was, "“The Psychology of Success, as shown by the Poems of Edgar A. Guest." Self Confidence “One of the first elements of suc- cesg 18 self confidence,” he said in be. ginning his falk. He advised his hear- ers not to be afraid of attempting something new. “How do you meet vour work €ach day? Are you fright- ened by it?" Here he quoted a poem by Guest, showing that failure comes from within and not from outside, ““Each man is responsible for his own future. A man can accomplish any- thing,” he said. “if he only will he- lieve he can do it Here followed the poem about the man who was told a thing couldn’t be done, but who went ahead regardiess and did it. “It Couldn’'t Be Done" “When we started this bible class,” he said, “there were many people who said we couldn't do it. When we said we would have 500 members in five months they said it couldn't be done, but we accomplished it." Human Parasites ““To be successful a man must learn to fight opposition. No matter how many times he drops he is never down until he lies in the dust and re- fuses to get up again,” the speaker said. Speaking of charity work, he said it was better to do charity work among the kind of people who are willing to do what they can to help themselves, rather than to help those who simpty live by charity alone, without ambition, hope or self re- spect. About Al Jennings Showing how a man can make him- self what he wants to become, the minister told the story of Al Jen- nings, a lawyer of Oklahoma. Jen- nings first fled from his home state for murder, having killed a man in a fight. He shot several others while getting away and was himself shot four times. He joined a band of rough cowboys and became an outlaw. Years went by. He was pardoned by the state, became popular and ran for governor, later becoming a Baptist minister in the same state. The World Against Him minister told of the type of the world is against them, holding them down. That a poor man hasn't a chance, etc. He classified in this list bolshevists and anarchists. To show that it is a wrong theory he quoted a poem, ask- ing what chance Abraham Lincoln had when he started. He showed how Renjamin Franklin went to bed hun- gry many times. “If these people want everything on the same level,” he said, “Let's make it a higher level Tt isn't the world that's wrong, its that class of people.” Not All Poor Ave Good “1 do not think that all the poor are good, neither do I think that all riches are the uniform of shame. The hegger might have conquered if he would, the world is not to blame. All failure is not undeserved. Many men have themselves shaped the things they are. The people who ray Abnut Promotion “‘Why am I not promoted?’ some men' ask. If I were to name the one thing that stands foremost in making for promotion, I should say, ‘intelli- gence.’ One of the saddest things that has come to this country is the ferling among men that they have come to the point where they shonld do as little as possible and shirk as much as possible for the wages they get. One labor leader said he costs this country $3,000,000 a year b traveling around telling men to shirk on the job." Rev. A. B. Taylor, of the Pcople's church led the ginging. Rev. Dr. W. Quay Roselle, of Malden, Massachu- setts, occupied the platform. A &pe- cial orchestra furnished some instru- mental music.
