["Promptness"—The Christian Science Monitor, Boston, U.S.A., Aug. 12, 1920]

Promptness is a quality on which the world sets a high value. Promptness in fulfilling orders, in arriving at work, and in meeting obligations, are demands of the business world. Steadily the world has sought, in its inventions and its works, to eliminate distance, and thus secure a higher degree of promptness in the communication and travel of its people.

Now this material promptness is often motived by the desire for personal advancement. Often, however, it is just the evidence in human affairs of that true honesty which is ever present in man because God, the source of all things, is never absent anywhere. But however manifested, promptness in itself is good, and the man in search of true advancement will desire it, study it, possess it.
