"As it happened the guide of the day was one who stayed behind. In him we saw something of the answer to the eternal problem of just where to find the abundant life. It will not hurt his feelings to say that some of the men of his age who went out from the com- munity live in finer houses and are better known than he. And yet, as one reflected upon what constitutes the real values in life, it seemed rather clear that this friendly guide was perhaps richer than even he suspected.
"The men that go out into the world thirst for power, fame and the satisfaction of many material and spiritual wants. But what have these that has not come to the man who stayed behind? As for power over men, this quiet guide is the teacher in the public school in the community, he is one of the chief men of the village and a minister in the local church. As for fame, was he not being sought out at the suggestion of thoughtful persons because of the special value of the thing he was doing? He was helping to build a better community by staying with the stuff, and those who would see how this was being done had come to his door."
