Character
When we speak of banking we
always tie up the thought of mon
ey -with it and -when a man says
that he has a bank account we al
ways think he is the one to ' trust.
However there are accounts and
banks that count for more than the
money in a bank as , we usually
emjiloy the term. .," Talking with, a
merchant once we were surprised to
havi him say that a man who had
little was a better risk than one
whqtn he knew had thousands in
the bank'and when we : questioned
him he said that the poor man al
ways paid the other was hard pay.
J, Pierpnnt Morgan once said that
of two men who cams, to him for
money, one with nothing and the
other woith millions that he would
finance the one with nothing but
refused the other and , asked why,
eplied, that one had character and
the ot her had not. In the world
character is the. thing that connts
and it is the basis of business and
social .life. Character presupossep
tht posession of several things.
aithfulness, honesty, knowledge,
truthfulness, purity, of life and mo
tive prcsistance, Courage stamina
are parts that arc called upon, to
bear the burden, .
In youth the accounts are begun
just like the advertisement read., A
it tie of thepe at one time'a little at
another and when ,thd time for
drawing one of. these comes, we
can do it. There is t boy of Madi,
son County who we have known
for many years an4 have followed
him thru college, in the army, teach
ing school "and going to the law
school. Speaking of him to one of
the lawyers in Ashevillo not long
ago and telling of what h had done
and how. he had been trying thru
the years to do Something, the law
yer said, t will 1 look him up and
help him in any way I can. Others
have done the same. It was not
family, nor money, nor infjuence
but the banking of the attributes of
character that made people trust
and help. It ia so with all the Wor
ld and one who has these Xhings
and lays them up will never lack
for anything. The way is prepared
and what seems to be patronage
and goodness in others was acquir
ed by the boy because he was bank
ing for character. - .
