Présentation de l'éditeur
Right Honorable Sir Alfred Horton-B irkett, M. P., began his commercial career in the office of an old firm of chandlers in Wapping. His parents were poor hard-working non-conformists who had hoped Alfred would go into the ministry of Christ. Their hopes were, however, not realized, for, although Alfred was a good chapel-goer and attended Sundayschool regularly, he longed for material success in a business where there was a chance to rise. Give me a chance to rise, was Alfred sreply to his father and mother when they urged him to keep his eye on the pulpit. When he took root in the office of Meek Brothers, Chandlers, he was a bright youth of sixteen. After a year or two he put new life into the old business, and by branching off into oil and coal, he rapidly turned a decaying industry, conducted by two dear old fossils, into a progressive concern. Alfred made headway quickly, and at the age of twenty-three he took himself into the firm. During those years his mind was not given up entirely to oil and coal. He clung to the chapel, and one day discovered that he could preach a better sermon than the parson.
