Good Luck

The Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Jun 20, 1865

SOME young men talk about luck. Good luck is to get up at six o'clock in the morning; good luck, if you have only a shilling a week, is to live upon eleven pence and save a penny; good luck, is to trouble your head with your own business, and let your neighbors' alone; good luck is to fulfill the commandments, and to do unto other people as we wish them to do unto us.

They must not only work, but wait. They must plod and persevere. Pence must be taken care of, because they are the seeds of guineas. To get on in the world, they must take care of home, sweep their own doorways clean, try to help other people, avoid temptation, and have faith in truth and God.
