! In the first place, by rendering good
service in any one job, it shows that
the individual has ability and can be
depended upon. In the next place,
those at the top are gradually "passing
out of the picture," which means
ithat those below have to be pushed
jup to take the place of those above.
I The exceptions to the latter are
those who fail to measure up; who
fail to fill their present positions as
efficiently as they should.

Most of us think of success as
meaning a good job and the accumulation
of material things. That's all
right, because jobs and material things
are essential—if one is to contribute
his share of money, as well as his talents,
to the church and to society or
the community. But it must be remembered
that to get a good job, or
work up to one— to acquire material
things— one must first WANT them.
It is a natural law that the more Wc*
want a thing the harder we will try
to get it. The important thing is to
set a high goal—to try to achieve
higher or bigger things. Once that
has been done, one will usually put
forth the necessary effort to acquire
the skill, training, knowledge, or ability
to achieve such ambitions.
Aftei- all. the bigger position one
attains in his organization or in the
community, the greater his opportunity
for service; and the greater service
one renders, the farther he is
certain to get or go in the world.
"Success through service!" That
should be the slogan of everyone who
has any ambition to be successful or
to earn a worth-while place for himself
in the world. It can be done!
It is just a matter of ambition and
perseverance! Build a reputation for
not only knowing how to do or wh-rit
to do. but also for being dependable,
and success will, naturally, crown
vour efforts!
