| MANCHESTER BROTHERHOOD 
_ Davin Back, Secrerary or BEVERLY 
meek. M. C. A, Spoke oF VALUE 
iss OF SERVICE. : 
- There was a small attendance at 
~ the Monday evening meeting of the 
_ Manchester Brotherhood in the Bapt- 
ist vestry, 57 members being present. 
Those who attended listened with in- 
terest to an address by David Black, 
general secretary of the Beverly Y. 
M. C. A., who spoke on “Service.” 
‘Mr. Black defined service as the act 
He 
‘divided service into its various classes 
and declared that unselfish labor for 
others represented the highest degree 
of service, the service of being kind 
to one’s fellow men. He said tha‘ 
great corporations were instruments 
of service; the gas and electrical com- 
panies -which furnish light of day to 
us at night he declared were perform- 
ing an important service to mankind. 
Where we were once content with 
candle light they are giving us the 
brilliancy of day. The corporation 
which serves the largest number of 
people is always the most successful 
in the opinion of the speaker. 
“Business men tell me,” said the 
speaker, “that, nowadays, honesty 1s 
not the best policy—it is the only 
policy. The man or firm who cheats 
you loses your good will, the most 
valuable business asset. 
“We are all salesmen; we are en- 
aged in selling our service. Labor 
is the seller and wants the highest 
price for its commodity and the em- 
ployer wants to buy as cheaply as 
possible and still get the best value. 
It is just as dishonest not to give full 
value in labor as it is for the grocer 
ta ‘short weight’ his customer. The 
more you put into your business the 
more you get out of it. Some work- 
ers work with the spirit, ‘Go day, 
come day, God send pay-day.’ If you 
think you are not getting what your 
service is worth and you cannot get 
it from your present employer, re- 
member you are a salesman and seek 
another buyer for your commodity. 
Every man sooner or later is paid 
what he is worth. 
“Strive to know more about your 
business everyday. Keep up to date. 
Eighty percent of the failures in 
1915 were men over 60 years who 
fiad got to the stage where they would 
not keep up to date and perferred the 
methods of yesterday to those of to- 
day. You must have patience. Ii 
was the patience of Washington as 
much as his military genius that 
brought him success. It was patience 
that enabled Cyrus Field to build the 
Atlantic cable; it was patience that

enabled Columbus to discover a new 
continent. 
“The greatest service in life is that 
which gives the most to others. 
When I think of Jesus Christ, I like 
to think of him as the efficient work- 
man first. History tells us that the 
carpenter of Nazareth was the best 
workman in his district. He was an 
efficient workman first-—then the ser- 
vant of others.” 
Following the talk sandwiches and 
coffee were served to the members.

Some of the Manchester students, 
who attend a business school in Lynn, 
are greatly disturbed over a letter 
which appeared in the Gloucester 
Times, recently, criticizing the con- 
duct of Gloucester and Manchester 
boys and girls who attend the Lynn 
institution. The’ complainant wrote 
that the students were so noisy in the 
afternoon train from Lynn that they 
disturbed other occupants of the car 
in which they were seated. She de- 
clared that even the conductor and 
trainmen were unable to quell the dis- 
turbance. The young people admit 
they were noisy, but deny any undue 
boisterousness. They resent the 
writer’s charge that they are ill-bred 
and have no consideration for the 
rights of others. Their defense is 
their youth—which should be suffi- 
cient. Perhaps the public attention 
called to their too jubilant spirits will 
have a taming effect.
