He certainly will if he doesn't carry his religion into business. If I had been carrying on my father's store on a Christian plan, godly plan, I would have had a jack knife for the third man when he called for it. Then I would have actually done him a kindness, and I would have received a reward myself, which it would have been my duty to take. There are some over pious Christian people who think if you take any profit on anything you sell that you are an unrighteous man. HE CERTAINLY WILL IF HE DOESN'T CARRY HIS RELIGION INTO BUSINESS IF I HAD BEEN CARRYING ON MY FATHER'S STORE ON A CHRISTIAN PLAN GODLY PLAN I WOULD HAVE HAD A JACKKNIFE FOR THE THIRD MAN WHEN HE CALLED FOR IT THEN I WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY DONE HIM A KINDNESS AND I WOULD HAVE RECEIVED REWARD MYSELF WHICH WOULD HAVE BEEN MY DUTY TO TAKE THERE ARE SOME OVERPOWIOUS CHRISTIAN PEOPLE WHO THINK IF THEY TAKE A PROFIT ON ANYTHING YOU SELL YOU ARE AN UNRIGHTEOUS MAN
iends: A man would come in the store, and say to me, “Do you keep jack knives?” “No, we don’t keep jack-knives,” and I went off whistling a tune. What did I care about that man, anyhow? Then another farmer would come in and say, “Do you keep jack knives?” “No, we don’t keep jack-knives.” Then I went away and whistled another tune. Then a third man came right in the same door and said, “Do you keep jack-knives?” “No. Why is every one around here asking for jack-knives? Do you suppose we are keeping this store to supply the whole neighborhood with jack-knives?” Do you carry on your store like that in Philadelphia? The difficulty was I had not then learned that the foundation of godliness and the foundation principle of success in business are both the same precisely. The man who says, “I cannot carry my religion into business” advertises himself either as being an imbecile in business, or on the road to bankruptcy, or a thief, one of the three, sure. He will fail within a very few years. WAS NOT VERY OFTEN BUT THIS DID OCCUR MANY TIMES FRIENDS A MAN WOULD COME INTO THE STORE AND SAY DO YOU KEEP JACKKNIVES NO WE DON'T KEEP JACKKNIVES SO AND I WENT OFF WHISTLING A TUNE WHAT DID I CARE ABOUT THAT MAN ANYHOW AND THEN ANOTHER FARMER WOULD COME IN AND SAY DO YOU KEEP JACKKNS NO WE DON'T KEEP JACKKNIVES THEN I WENT AWAY AND WHISTLED ANOTHER TUNE THEN A THIRD MAN CAME RIGHT UP TO THE DOOR AND SAID DO YOU KEEP JACKKNIVES NO WHY EVERYONE AROUND HERE IS ASKING FOR JACKKNIVES DO YOU SUPPOSE WE ARE KEEPING THIS STORE TO SUPPLY THE WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD WITH JACK KNIVES DO YOU CARRY ON THIS STORE LIKE THAT IN PHILADELPHIA THE DIFFICULT WAS I HAD NOT LEARNED THAT THE FOUNDATION OF GODLINESS AND THE FOUNDATION OF PRINCIPLES OF SUCCESS IN BUSINESS ARE BOTH THE SAME PRECISELY WHEN A MAN SAYS I CANNOT CARRY MY RELIGION INTO BUSINESS HE ADVERTISES HIMSELF EITHER AS BEING AN IMBECILE IN BUSINESS OR ON THE ROAD TO BANKRUPTCY OR A THIEF ONE OF THE THREE SURE HE WILL FAIL WITHIN A VERY FEW YEARS
