The Business Classes Neglected
By F. L. Limerick
THERE is a class of people among us that we have neglected. I speak of the business men. A great many will say, “Well, there is no use. They are prejudiced against us.” But I do not believe it. It is just the other way, we are prejudiced against them. One of our canvassers, a farmer, who was canvassing in the country last summer, came into a town one day, and seeing a banker leaving his bank, he decided to canvass him. So he presented his prospectus, and said: “Sir, I have something here that will interest you, and if you will kindly spare me a moment, I will exhibit to you some of the most important points in this wonderful book.” The banker took a good, straight look at the canvasser, and saw a pleasant face, and honest eyes looking at him. He then looked down to see what he had. It was “Heralds of the Morning,” and as the canvasser turned rapidly from page to page, calling his attention to the signs of our dear Lord’s return, the banker was spellbound, and being weary, he gradually sank to the doorstep, and said, “Let me see it. I want one.” It seemed refreshing to his tired brain. It was like a spring in a desert to him, and he received it gladly. While I know all business men are not like this one, a great many are, and the day will soon come when we shall have to give an account for the way we have slighted this class of people.
