Be There

B y GEORGE MATTHEW ADAMS

CARLOS MARTYN In his biography of Wendell Phillips said this: “It is not enough to be ready to go where duty calls; a man should stand around where he can hear the call.” Be There. A few years ago at a great American political convention, one of those mysterious moments -arrived, in which a great outburst broke in enthusiasm for one man. But the man was Not There; at that moment he was entertaining friends In one of the city’s hotels. Before he could be reached, a comparatively unknown man was called upon and, through the magnetism of the moment, he was inspired into one of the greatest efforts of his life—and it swept him into the United States senate, where he has proved himself one of the great leaders of the country. Be There. When you make an appointment, Be There. iWhen you agree to do a certain task, Be There. If you .are looking toward an Opportunity, Be There when the Opportunity comes your way. The Leaders' In the business world, and In every other sphere of activity, are constantly alert for

men and women who can measure np to Chances that they hold In the hollow of their hands. You, whoever you are, aid wherever you work, If you are conforming constantly to your Ideals of the best, you need have no fear but that at the proper moment yon will" be the one who is—There. Be There.
