ABSTRACT
The worst thing that could happen to the world would be to have it placed in the hands of men who only have a gift of hungering for certain sorts of things, or hungering for certain classes of people, or hungering for themselves. Men who are in the act of being scared or hateful, whether it be for five minutes, five months, or sixty years, who have given up their courage for others, or for their enemies, are practical. If there is one thing rather than another that fills one with courage for the outlook of labouring men to-day, it is the colossal failure Ben Tillett makes in leading them in prayer. Nearly every man who succeeds in business notably, succeeds in believing something about the people with whom he deals that the men around him have believed before, or in believing something which, if they did believe it, they had applied or acted as if they had believed before.
