Two workmen were talking about the head of a great industry who had just died and whose funeral was to be held that day.
"At exactly two o'clock everything in the shop is to come to a stop," one of them said."Not a wheel will turn for five minitues."
"Yes, that's what the boss said," replied the other."But there's one thing I guess, that's not going to stop even for a minitues."
"What's that?' asked the first,anxiously.
" His influence," was the reply.
The answer is arresting. Wheels may stop,industries close,human activities cease, but influence keeps right on.Nothing can stop that. Measured by standards of time, a man's life is seventy years, but measured by influence it may go on forever.
