ROCKEFELLER TO
SON'S BIBLE CUSS
Subjects for Sunday's Short Talk
Were: Cold Feet, Hard Work and
Golf—lncidentally “Potato Digging.
NEW YORK. John D. Rockefel
ler fairly exuded advice at the Fifth
Avenue Maptlat church and the mem
bers of his son’s Bible class listened
with attention. He divided his dis
course Into three heads, respectively,
cold feet, hard work and golf, and
hero is what he had to say on these
timely topics: Cold feet —There Is no
fear of catching cold so long as you
protect your feet. I like to be out In
a drizzling raiu If I am prepared for
it.
Hafu work—Hard work will not
hurt you. And If you cannot get the
exact kind of work you think suited
to you, take whatever turns up and
do It. well. The labor will prepare you
for something better. Its work to a
great extent that makes the man, and
the fellow who Is afraid of it. Is the
one who will always remain Just
where he Is, never advance.
Golf-This weather Is nothing for
a golfer. More than once I have
tramped over the golf links on stormy
days and felt nono the worse for It.
But you must keep in motion —play
the game you know and drive hard.
Mr. Rockefeller also spoke wisely
on "Real Friendship;” “Potato lag
ging" and other subjects of Interest.
Incidentally, he expressed dislike for
"a class of people who seek friendship
for what, they can 0./.aln from it.”

In the campaign that Secretary Root's
