A Special Collection
MAKE THIS YOUR MOTTO
The children of a certain Sunday school were called upon for a special collection on ohe
W occasion and each child was required to repeat a verse of scripture as they*came forward I
$£ and dropped their contribution in the box. Things went along nicely and the “The Lord
§ loveth a cheerful giver” and similar texts were repeated as they filed past, but the exercises i
H wTere almost disrupted by one youngster who exclaimed in a loud voice as he dropped in his l
9 nickel, “A fool and his money are soon parted.” That “text” no doubt expressed his sen*
m timent as well as the gentleman with certificates to sell, each one bearing a large gold seal
^ the latter being the only thing the color of gold the purchaser will ever get. This bank is
B still doing business at the same old stand, caring for all deposits intrusted to it, returning

“For each dollar earned, HI save a dime.
V If you will take this motto, you will not find
it hard to live up to. Of course you may make
this proposition larger or smaller as you feel able,
but the main point is to save a certain part of your
income, regularly.
, Don’t let anything or anybody persuade you
out of your intentions. You will soon find that
you have formed a very good habit—will have
ready money for emergencies—can plan ahead,
and will have less worries.
