Show The Will and Work That Win. When Bishop Berkeley was maturing his plans to leave England and in the wilderness to plant the gospel among American savages, the members of the Scribblers' Club, being met at his house at dinner, they agr to rally Berkeley on his scheme. Berkeley, after listening to their jollying, begged to be heard, whereupon he outlined what he meant to do with such force, eloquence and earnestness that they were struck dumb, and after a pause, rose up all together, exclaiming, "Let us go with him." , There is a great deal in that story. Berkeley believed in what he was going to do. He told his belief in a way which caused his enthusiasm to be contagious. It is the same way every day in life. A man must believe in what he does to do it well, and when his work is a confirmation of his belief men gravitate to him. The business men of Salt Lake are striking for a greater Salt Lake. They will succeed just in proportion to their zeal and their own belief in the greatness which is to be for the city. A society of ladies has been organized organ-ized to make of Salt Lake "a city beautiful." They can succeed if they only believe that they can and work accordingly. When they communicate their enthusiasm to their sister women and to men, there will be quick results. Many a house-front will be painted; flowers Will be growing in many a window. More flowers will be planted than ever before. Alleys and back yards will be cleaned; ugly features in every direction will be eliminated, elimin-ated, until people will become ashamed to have any unsightly or unclean thing in evidence near their homes. The more beauties that can be brought out the more pride will be in the work, and with more enthusiasm the work will proceed. A morning paper gives out that already architects archi-tects are working on the plans of fifty new residences resi-dences to be erected at once. Some of them will be more beautiful than they would have been had not the ladles made this" move for a more attractive attract-ive Salt Lake. With, this going on, men and women wo-men will be more particular about their apparel. A right idea pressed with earnestness and enthusiasm enthu-siasm always counts. Many a horse wins a race simply because his ri t is determined to win. Many a sick person recovers because his physician says to himself, "I will not let that patient die," and watches every pulse-beat. There is nothing like a will that cannot be broken, an energy that never knows fatigue. |
