A Ship at anchor, fast to its
moorings, makes no prog
ress. The waves may lap at
her sides, but she remains inert.
A Ship, with a seasoned mari
ner in its bridge, but with
its mighty engines silenced,
becomes a pawn of the seas_
a helpless thing.
A Ship, with a full head of
steam, and ship’s officers
carefully steering her to a
charted course, can encircle
the globe, and arrive safely in
port again.
The same ship.
The same engines.
The same crew.
A Man will make no progress
until he starts. He will lit
erally be a pawn o ffate, if
fails to put his whole driving
power into his work. He will,
even then, not arrive at his goal,
if he fails to set a goal and keep
it constantly in mind.
Set a definite sum to your sav
ings credit as your first goal.

PA1I) PUBLICITY HELD
USEFUL TO CHURCH
Kinston, N. F.—Addressing the
Eastern district of the Internation
al Lutheran Walther league con
vention here, J. F. E. Nicklesburg,
of New York, business manager
of the American Lutheran Maga
zine, advocated more general use
by churches of dignified public
ity and advertising.
“The things we wear and eat,
at home and at the office, the
things we use, are the articles
most familiar to our mind by per
sistent advertising,” he said. “No
matter how good a product may
be, unless advertised, its sale is
limited. The business world knows
it pays to advertise. The church
that hides its light under the
bushel basket commits a sin of
commision.”
