Bishop Nicholson of Milwaukee has story

He was distinctly discouraged one day when
having gone to New York on business he
stopped to look at the Brooklyn bridge, then
building. A man, covered with dirt, was
working on the abutments.
That's pretty dirty work you are engaged
in, y said the Bishop.
"Well, yes. answered the laborer; ''but
somehow we dort think of the dirt, but OF the
beauty which is TO come out of the work.
at was the lesson | needed. and went
back to Philadelphia the better for it, said
Bishop Nicholson.
