PUBLIC : LIFE


Who enters public service expecting appreciation will be disappointed. The mother does not ex- pect 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 re- action 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


nington Memorial Library Wilmington, Mass.
