APRIL 12
Do just the same in the absence of your employer as you do when under his eye. Let his absence or presence make no difference to your industry and activity.
Equally dishonest it is to hurt or waste anything, or to let it be lost through your carelessness or negligence.
Whatever is committed to your trust, whether within doors or without, so carefully preserve that it be not lost, spoiled or impaired under your hands. If you see any damage done to your employer’s goods, redress it yourself, if you can; if you cannot, immediately make it known to your employer, that he may find means of redressing it. And not only preserve, but do all that in you lies to increase your employer’s goods.
Directions to Servants
Hang upon Him as a little child, and your eyes shall see the full salvation.
