Business man of to-day, are you thoroughly satisfied with yourself? Are you satisfied with the health and strength, and with the unseen mind power which you possess to conduct your business smoothly, harmoniously, and successfully, whether the business capacity be executive or subordinate? Why is this business capital (for it is nothing less, as we will presently prove) of yours so very weak, uncertain, and discouraging in many ways? Why does it fail you so often, upset all your calculations many times in a season, destroy your most cherished plans, cause the cancellation of orders many, and the transference to loss and gain account of many charges you had counted on realizing? And again, and most important, why is this weakness responsible for the "skeleton in your closet," the presence of which few business men can honestly deny, and which is the sole cause of the great majority of failures in the business world? You may not know that this lack of strength and power is responsible, but nevertheless this is a fact, and a scientific one, and, as such, can be proven and demonstrated.

That they may be ashamed of their iniquities. —Ezekiel xliii.

Any citizen who is tired of mundane concerns and wants to fix his mind on something higher is invited to consider the allegation of Sir Francis Galton, made in the London Fortnightly Review, that some one on Mars is signalling to earth. The information seems not as yet to be very generally confirmed by astronomical observers, but Sir Francis is quoted as authority for the report that in one of the European observatories an apparatus has been devised for recording the Martian flashes, and that the record shows that three signals and no more are made, and that they differ, as all flash-light signals do, in the length of the flashes and of the intervals between, so that if we had the key they might be read like telegraphic messages.

Day by day, if we are watchful, we can learn large lessons by looking into Nature and her ways. Jesus gave a severe rebuke to those who were over-anxious, by showing them that God would clothe them, even as the lilies of the field, if they only had faith.
