This is my commandment, that ye love one another as I have loved you. Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
JOHN XV. 12-14.
It is common-sense that successful business-men use in the commercial world. They only take a rational view of cause and effect in their sphere of operations. They must risk much, as all things in mortal mind are so subject to change and revolution.
There is a class of men in the financial world, however, who have come into possession of money not earned by experience, who have very broad and high notions of the way business should be done; and they generally end their career by acquiring experience and practice, while the business-men acquire the money. Of course neither class is richer or wiser in reality; but, for the time, one is happy and the other is sad.
