PUBLIC LIFE
Ilha enters public service expecting appreciation will be disappointed. The mother does not expect from the two-year- old whom she spanks, to keep from running into the street, an engraved vote of thanks for her services. She expects the small howls of rage which are the natural reaction at having liberty restricted. She hardly hears them, and feels well rewarded if the child learns the lesson of safe bounds.
The crowd always turns against its benefactors. Jesus was tempted to "sell himself," but did not stop his work because of it, nor though he knew the bitter end. Washington was abused without measure by his contemporaries. So was Lincoln. Nor did they resign in fits of temper before their work was done.
The man who would truly serve the public must realize in the beginning that "the road winds uphill all the way," that its only joy lies in the consciousness of renunciation of self for the common good, its only reward the knowledge of some small good accomplished.
Seeking this only, he sticks .- Anonymous.
TAXES
Copyright, 1927, by Edgar A. Guest
When they come due I don't like them at all, Taxes look large be they ever so small, Taxes are debts which I venture to say No man or no woman is happy to pay; I grumble about them, as most of us do, For it seems that with taxes I never am through.
But when I reflect on the city I love, With its sewers below and its pavement above, And its schools and its parks where the children may play, I can see what I get for the money I pay, And I say to myself: "Little joy would be known If we kept all our money and spent it alone."
I couldn't build streets and I couldn't fight fire, Policemen to guard us I never could hire; A water department I couldn't maintain; Instead of a city we'd still have a plain; Then I look at the bill for the taxes they charge, And I say to myself: "Well, that isn't so large."
I walk through a hospital thronged with the ill And I find that it shrivels the size of my bill; As in beauty and splendor my home city grows, It is easy to see where my tax money goes; And I say to myself: "If we lived hit and miss . And gave up our taxes, we couldn't do this!"
