Surely no one will consider us lacking in reverence if we say that every one of the "principles of modern salesmanship" on which business men so much pride themselves, are brilliantly exemplified in Jesus' talk and work.
life home men
Many a man who pays rent all his life owns his own home; and many a family has successfully saved for a home only to find itself at last with nothing but a house.

Every time you open your mouth you let men look into your mind.
jesus men effort
Jesus brought forth men's greatest efforts by the promise of obstacles not rewards.

Great men suffer hours of depression through introspection and self-doubt. That is why they are great. That is why you will find modesty and humility the characteristics of such men.

Christ would be a national advertiser today, I am sure, as He was a great advertiser in His own day. He thought of His life as business.
simple voice people
Learn their lesson, that if you would teach people you first must capture their interest with news; that your service rather than your sermons must be your claim upon their attention; that what you say must be simple, and brief, and above all sincere - the unmistakable voice of true regard and affection.
world advertising force
As a profession advertising is young; as a force it is as old as the world.
