THE ROTARY MOTTO
He Profits Most Who Serves Best"
The Rotary Club was founded in Chicago, Illinois, on February 23rd, 1306. by Paul P. Harris. He informally gathered a few of "bis clients aud friends together - and arranged to meet Jwound at thir various offices each Woelt. At these metmga the members
-were told of the business of their as-l vice
cowj-s looked and what a fine time they all had. I can well imagine the rest of the cows on the farm standing around chewing their quids and naylng, j "Isn't she a lucky cow?"
"No gentlemen, it was not a matter

through
quaintance, to patronise each other. This Rotary Club movement grew and spread until in 1911 a Rotary convention tv as held in Portland. Oregon. At this convection Arthur Frederick Shel0vn. now President Emeritus of The
bheldon School, presented "My Platform" in which he used the expression, "lie profita most who serves best." He poiDted out that service is the heart that pumps the lifo blood of salearnanBMp into the body of business building. Upon the conclusion of Mr. Sheldon's .address, oae of the members sprang to ills feat and moved that the motto of Kotary should be; "Ha ITofits Most Who Serves Best." And from that time On the Rotary movement haa been bujlt a-round this principle.. And what does it mean? Success in life is governed by law "and uot by luck. Show me the man who climbs the ladder of success until he gets up to the top and then shouts fr more ladder to that he can climb
h:gher, and I will show you oris who has, consciously or unconsciously, harmonized with nature's laws. The man to falls has, consciously or unconsciously violated some one of nature's laws. "While there are multitudes or laws of success, the one around which ail the rest rotate is the law ef service. Service is cause and pay is effect; Just as fire la cause and heat Is effect. The reason why there are bo many failvres in life in because there are too siany pep! who look for effects but are not wHUnj to build the fire of service. Statistic show t?at if yon select one hundred young men at the age of 25, eliminating all those who are mentally or physically h an di napped, and follow them through for a period of forty years, at the age of 6a, S will be dead, 64 will be dead broke. 8 will still be working tvr their daily bread. 4 will have enough so that they do not have to work, and Just 1 of the bunch will he wealthy. J3 per cent fail economivaliy, and only 5 per cent tSuoceed. The reason is that tb 95. per cent violate rme one or more cf nature's laws the chlaf oae of which is tie law or service. i Visualize thre parallel tins of equal length. Let the top Una be the pay. the middle line the service rendered and the bottom lice the Individual. The average man has his eye focused n tiie first line the pay line, whereas, we can readily see that If we hold our eye to the first line that is, If we. incrtase the man power of the individual thus lengthening that line, the service rendering power will increase, or lengthen, .and the reward or pay will take care of Itself. Many a man Is looking tor more pay and a better Job, while if he would only look for more work and better work, thts pay would take 4.are of itself. in this way, 3fr. Sheldon laid before the Kolary convention his explanation and understanding of the motto, "He I'rotiLJ Most Who Serves Best.' "I am not a preacher, neither am I the sen o o preacher. F.ut every once :n a while I have a feeling, come- over me that 1 would li'id to preach. If I were tailing a text for a sermon to you today, 1 would select it from the best X'.eco o'.' business literature which has ever been published. I am fairly well versed in business literature, the institution with which I am connected tiavir.g bpeiit over f 100,000 in educational arid research work to lind out how ind why men succeed In business and to correlate those laws and principles cf success in a get-at-able form. And l -t.. I am recommending to you a publication between the covers of wfclcb. you will find more tho rules of conduct in human relationships man In any - Wher publication of which I know. Many of you have the publication at home; those who haven't should buy cue on the way home; you can get It the library. I refer to the Bible. "There is a rule for making gold, eometimes called the Goldern Rule. I win cnoeavor to give you a modernized translation of that text. It says: "There .- lore" aa a conclusion after a long dlscus.siot?, "whatsoever" and that takes ; , in a lot of territory ye would that the other fellow should do to you, beat him to it Then it goes on to say, "for that Is The Law" and the prophets." And someone has suggested that the word prophets should be spelled p-r-o-p-h-i-t-s. But it says that this rule for making gold is The Law-aiot law Just as we speak of the new
tasic fundamental law of human re
tionship and that is the Law of SerViC'O. "Wo hear a great deal these days about service. It is service this a ri ser
that, service departments, service
stations, etc. It seems to rue some-
That cow harmonized with na-
times that we are guing to wear this word threadbare, let us see just what elements can go to make up real service. It can be diagramed by an equilateral triangle. One of the Mdes stands
itor Quality, "the second for Quantity
and the third, for the Mods or Manner of conduct. And just as sure a 11-2 -O gives U3 pure water, so Q-2-M gives us pure service. "Mr. Sheidon spoke along this lino one day ia "N'ausau, Wisconsin, and at the close of the address a man stepped up to him and asked him to visit hla place of business tha next morning. He was the owner of a Furge dairy farm and he led Mr .Sheldon out to his herd saying; "Mr. Sheldon, did it ever occur to yon that the Q Q M Idea applies to cows?" Mr. Sheldon replied that he never thought about that and the man replied: "Well it certainly does. Do you see that cow over there? The Quality oX her milk is fine but there isn't enough of It She is shy on her second Q. She Is going to get !t In the neck. There Is a cow (pointing t a second one) whose, quantity of milk Is great, but
there Is less than 3 per dent butter fat so her quality is not up to standard. Sho Is shy on her tirst Q. And here is still another cow who gives plenty of milk, of good quality, but her mode of conduct Is rotten. She kicks the bucket and spills the milk. She too Is going to be gotten rid cf. "Brit with pride he pointed to a fourth cow and told Mr. Sheldon he would not take a thousand dollars for her. He Bald the quantity of her milk was flna, the quality above average and her mode, of conduct was such that a child could handle her. "Wnen things got monotonous on the farm, the farmer would take this fourth cow down to the railroad, buy her transportation and give her a scenic trip over the country. She attended the society meeting or convention of cows (sometimes calied the county or state fair). When she came home, reported tho proceedings of the convention, described her trip, told how all the other elite
away the blue ribbons. In business the same is true; success in life comes from harmony with nature's ' laws. And tho more surely c understand and obey those laws, the more able are we lo harmonize with them. "I-et me here make a confess:on. In all of my life I have never player! cards tor money, naver shook alco for money; never Hipped a coin, never punched a punch board, never bet on a race; In tact. I have never indulged in any kind of a gambling proposition not even a church grab bag where I won! Naturally, I do not take any stock in this luck business; there's nothing in it." In his closing remarks, Mr, Tolles called attention to a poem, "Not Understood," written by a New Zealander, Thomas Bracken, which brings out the thought that most of the trouble In this world come! from a lack of understanding. "The chief aim of the International conference In Washington was to promote understandings. There would be no trouble between nations tf those who participated in the troubles would only sit down, put their feet under the same table and talk things over to arrive at a tiafc understanding. There would have ben no world war, with the slaughtering of the lives of our
ed. As soon as misunderstandings come
between the customer and the house the customer hunts another house."
