No.

25a-Co-operation is desired between all Departments. This does not mean mere toleration to prevent friction, but a sincere, heartfelt interest in the welfare of the business as a whole, expressed in thoughtful suggestions, courteous fellowship, concerted action and an eagerness to give all Departments the benefit of the best methods attained by any of them. Only by serving the best interests of the whole house, can any Department serve its own best interests, and this is also equally true of individuals.

26-CREDO: I Believe in the Motherhood of
God. I believe in the blessed Trinity of
Father, Mother and Child.

I believe that God is here, and that we are
as near Him now as ever we shall be. I do not
believe He started this world a-going and
went away and left it to run itself.

I believe in the sacredness of the human body,
this transient dwelling-place of a living soul,
and so I deem it the duty of every man and
woman to keep his or her body beautiful
through right thinking and right living.
I believe that the love of man for woman, and
the love of woman for man, is holy; and that
this love in all of its promptings is as much
an emanation of the Divine Spirit as man's
love for God, or the most daring hazards of
the human mind.

I believe in salvation through economic,
social and spiritual freedom.

I believe John Ruskin, William Morris,
Henry Thoreau, Walt Whitman and Leo
Tolstoy to be Prophets of God, who should
rank in mental reach and spiritual insight
with Elijah, Hosea, Ezekiel and Isaiah.

I believe that men are inspired today as much

as ever men were.

I believe we are now living in eternity as much
as ever we shall.

I believe that the best way to prepare for a
Future Life is to be kind, live one day at a

time, and do the work you can do the best, doing it as well as you can.

I believe there is no devil but fear.

I believe that no one can harm you but yourself.

I believe that we are all sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be.

I believe the only way we can reach the King-
dom of Heaven is to have the Kingdom of
Heaven in our hearts.

I believe in freedom-social, economic,
domestic, political, mental, spiritual.

I believe in every man minding his own busi

ness.

I believe in sunshine, fresh air, friendship,
calm sleep, beautiful thoughts.

I believe in the paradox of success through
failure.

I believe in the purifying process of sorrow,
and I believe that death is a manifestation of
life.

I believe the Universe is planned for good.
I believe it is possible that I shall make other
creeds, and change this one, or add to it, from
time to time, as new light may come to me.
-Fra Elbertus.

27-CREDO. I Know: That I am here, in a world
where nothing is permanent but change.
And that, in degree, I myself can change the
form of things.

And influence a few people;

That I am influenced by these and other
people, by the example and by the work of
men who are no longer alive.

And that the work I now do will, in degree,
influence people who will live after my life has
changed into other forms.

That a certain attitude of mind and habit of
action on my part will add to the peace, hap-
piness and well-being of other people.

And that different thoughts and actions on
my part will bring pain and discord to others.
That if I would secure reasonable happiness

illum. plain

No.

for myself, I must give out good-will to others.
That to better my own condition I must
practise mutuality.

That health is necessary to continued and
effective work.

That I am largely ruled by habit.

That habit is a form of exercise, and that, up
to a certain point, exercise means increased
strength or ease in effort.

That all life is the expression of spirit.
That my spirit influences my body.
And my body influences my spirit.

That the universe to me is very beautiful.
And everything and everybody in it is good
and beautiful when my body and my spirit
are in harmonious mood.

That my thoughts are hopeful and helpful,
unless I am filled with fear.

And that to eliminate fear my life must be
dedicated to useful work-work in which I
forget myself.

That fresh air in abundance, and moderate,
systematic exercise in the open, are the part
of wisdom.

That I can not afford, for my own sake, to be
resentful or quick to take offense.

That happiness is a great power for good.
And that happiness is not possible without
moderation and equanimity.

That time turns all discord into harmony
if men will but be kind and patient.
And that the reward which life holds out for
work is not idleness nor rest nor immunity
from work, but increased capacity, greater
difficulties, more work.-Elbert Hubbard.

27a-CROSSING THE BAR

Sunset and evening star,

And one clear call for me!

And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.

.50 .25

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

Too full for sound and foam,

When that which drew from out the bound

less deep

Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,

And after that the dark!

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and

Place

The flood may bear me far,

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

When I have crost the bar.-Tennyson.

27b-Character is the result of two things: Mental attitude and the way we spend our time. -Fra Elbertus.

28-DECLARATION: I hold these truths to be

self-evident:

That man was made to be happy;

That happiness is only attainable through
useful effort;

That the best way to help ourselves is to help
others;

That useful effort means the proper exercise
of all our faculties;

That we grow only through this exercise;
That education should continue through life,
and the joys of mental endeavor should be,
especially, the solace of the old;

That where men alternate work, study and
play in right proportion, the brain is the last
organ of the body to fail. Death for such has
no terrors;

That the possession of wealth can never make
a man exempt from useful manual labor;

That if all would work a little, none would be
overworked;

That if no one wasted, all would have enough;
That if none were overfed, none would be
underfed;

.50 .25

.50 .25

That the rich and "educated " need educa-
tion quite as much as the poor and illiterate;
That the presence of a serving class is an
indictment and a disgrace to our civilization;
That the disadvantage of having a serving
class falls most upon those who are served,
and not upon those who serve just as the
real curse of slavery falls upon the slave-

owner.

That the presence of a serving class tends
towards dissolution instead of co-operation;
That the people who are waited on by a
serving class can not have a just consideration
for the rights of others, and they waste time
and substance, both of which are lost forever,
and can only partially be made good by addi-
tional human effort;

That the person who lives on the labor of
others, not giving himself in return to the best
of his ability, is really a consumer of human
life;

That the best way to abolish a serving class
is for all to join it;

That in useful service there is no high or low;
That all duties, offices and things which are
useful and necessary are sacred, and that
nothing else is or can be.-Elbert Hubbard.

30-Do not keep your kindness in water-tight compartments-if it runs over a bit 't will do no harm.

31-DON'T BE A KNOCKER: If you work for a man, in heaven's name, work for him. If he pays wages that supply you your bread and butter, work for him, speak well of him, think well of him, stand by him, and stand by the institution he represents. I think if I worked for a man, I would work for him. I would not work for him a part of his time, but all of his time. I would give an undivided service or none. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness. If you must vilify, condemn and eternally disparage, why, resign your position, and when you are out
