the profits on each dollar's trade as that given to the stockholder, 

 employee or laborer." 



Other features of the system are a uniform system of book- 

 keeping, frequent visits and close inspection by the general 

 manager of the county, and regular monthly reports of the busi- 

 ness done in each store. Copies of these reports are also sent 

 to the central office of the Right Relationship League at Minne- 

 apolis. The best experience and business talent is employed 

 in perfecting the organization in such a manner as to reduce the 

 possibility of failure to a minimum and to cultivate the spirit 

 of mental helpfulness among the members. 



We may imagine the spirit and enthusiasm infused into it by 

 a man like Mr. Nelson, who has freely distributed to others for 

 over twenty years the large profits from his business, which 

 last year amounted to the vast sum of $200,000. 



"Three years ago," said Mr. Nelson, "I decided that I had 

 accumulated more of this world's goods than I could spend in 

 the natural course of life. Since then I have not accepted a 

 salary, nor do I receive any dividends on the capital invested in 

 my own business." 



Now, let me ask. what does all this mean? It means the 

 coming "Brotherhood of Man." It means the approach of a 

 new era when man shall extend his right hand to his neighbor 

 and say : "Come, brother. Come, let us work together for the 

 good of both, for the welfare of all." It means the dawn of 

 a new day when the sun of righteousness shall rise higher in the 

 heavens, the light shall shine brighter and the shadows be 

 shorter. 



The question for us is: Shall we help bring on this day? 

 Every great thing has had a small beginning. Finally after 

 many failures, the right methods, the fundamental principles 

 have been discovered and recognized by thinking men, and then 

 the development has gone with a rush. What a few years ago 

 met ridicule and contempt, today gets our approval and admira- 

 tion. Look at the history of the railways and the ocean steam- 

 ships, the "floating cities of the vast deep." 



A hundred years is not a very long time, but it seems like an 

 eternity when measured by the distance between Franklin's kite 

 and the ocean cable or the wireless message encircling the earth.
