CI.KISK Ol Till-: <. i:\I.K A I,
Assianti-v,
According to tlio action of otir last
fJencral Assembly, I retire to-day
from the ollice of Slated Clerk, to
which I was elected May 1!>, l'.HO.
and re-elected May 10. 1 And
as, on account of illness, I was not
present at the last Assembly that I
might hid adieu to my brethren, it
seems meet that I should now use
our Church papers, ever open to any
service of live Assembly, to say a few
words of farewell as I go out of of
fice.
First of all, 1 wish to express mv
heartfelt thanks for the very loving
and gracious letter which the Assem
bly sent me over the official signa
ture of the Moderator. 1 warmly ap
preciate the kind and affectionate
words therein contained, and will
ever treasure this record of the feel
ings of my brethren as I withdraw
from the honored and trusted posi
tion in which the Assembly had seen
tit to place me and whose duties 1
had performed for so many years.
1 would also take this occasion to
express my sincere gratitude for all
the unvarying kindness and courtesy
with which my brethren have treated
me, as 1 have met them in Assembly
after Assembly and have dealt with
them in the multitudinous duties of
my office. Many have written me
kind words of affection and apprecia
tion, which 1 value more than T can
express.
It has been a great privilege and
pleasure to till this high and respon
sible office in the Church, and I have
endeavored in it to be ever loyul to
our Church and its traditions, to be
prompt and efficient in tire discharge
of its duties, and to serve my breth
ren every way that 1 could. In rela
tion to them the ideal which 1 have
kept before me was that which our
blessed Lord set forth. "I am among
you as he that serveth." And in re
tiring I carry with me the satisfac
tion and assurance that I glorified
llim and pleased my brethren.
And with these words I bid my
brethren an affectionate farewell as
Stated Clerk.

It s obvious to every one tlia' busi
ness isn i going to break down :i door
or smash a window to net into your
building, li isn't going to rt sort to
even that very dignified operation of
stepping up t<> your front door bell
to give it a ring. Not by a ..ugful'
You must no right out where the .r
ders I i \ ? ? and bring them HI if you ex
perl to get any.
Generally order* are a result ol
that certain thing you rail demand.
Demand is cither a ready-made con
dition waiting for yon to gather it in
or it is something that must be cri -
at?'ci before the gut boring-ill process
can heroine a reality.
? renting a demand is something
like planting grass seed. First, the
ground must he prepared and made
ready to receive the seed. Afl??r the
seed is planted, uuee in a great while
some natural elements may come
along and help out, such as a nice
rainfall. RIore often, however, as you
have noticed the fellow who made it
his particular business to see that the
water was supplied regularly without
waiting for some kind fairy in do the
job, was the one who had the good,
healthy stand of grass.
Can t business people draw a lesson
from that grass plot, and inject a
little more effort into creating de
mand for the particular product they
have to sell?
In order to create demand or to
bring home the orders from demand
already created, there is no method
that is quite so effective sis that which
keeps t lie information constant I v In
fore the right people.
Wherever you find a big demand
for any product you won't have to
look very far to find that it is mostly
due to advertising. Likewise, wher
ever you find a big concern iilling
plenty of orders, keeping themselves
busy supplying demand, you will tind
that the demand is t here principally
because of consistent advertising.
The fact that it can he done, |g be
ing done, is extremely heartening.
The discouraging part of it all is the
vast number of business heads who
continue to lei their business ride
along on an unstimulated basis, mak
ing no effort to create demand, or
even to encourage existing demand to
turn into the path leading !o their
own door.
Right now you are on the thresh
old of the fall season, when a demand
naturally exists for certain lines of
merchandise. 'Ibis is the season
when grains, produce and livestock is
turned into real money. A time when
the summer activities or certain
groups of people, who, by the way,
represent more than one-half the
purchasing power of your whole coun
try, are cashing in on their hard work
for several months hack. What are
you doing to get just a little more
than your share of that business?
What are you doing to keep your
competitor from taking awav from
your share some amount that will in
crease his profits and possibly spread
a blotch of red ink on your record
book ?
Start your action today, don't de
lay longer.

ness needs business methods. Lay
men, think about it.)
