the strain Of business and even the
heartaches Of failure cannot take
away from you. It is the profit
that comes only to those whose vision
extend beyond the needs and strife
of the hour, who see in business a
lifework and who feel the Joy of
labor well done and a service greater
than the dollar which purchases it.
If any set of men need the en-
enlargement and hope that Rotary
holds out to them, / think 1T is the
representatives of public-service cor
porations. In every instance they are
part of great Organization whose
capital is counted by millions and
whose service reaches every class and
condition of the public. Existing by
the will of the public they are right
fully regarded as servants who must
be flexible enough to meet demands
of every nature who must sub
serve themselves to the wishes of
the public, whether reasonable or
not.
Corporations Of all kinds, particu-
larly monopolies, have been regarded
with distrust, almost aversion, by the
public in the past. Doubtless this was
not misplaced judgment in some in
stances. But the modern corporation
of today, almost without exception,
realizes the duty it owes the public.
The men back of the public-service
corporations, the men who direct
their affairs and the men who work
for them are human beings like you
and me. They have high ideals which
they are trying to express in their
daily contact with the public. They
have pride in their work and the al
mighty dollar is not their sole aim in
life. They are seeking personal
happiness and are keen to win the
laurels which come to those who
give more than value received and
to those who render a personal SER
vice that money alone cannot buy.
The public-service man must meet
the public as community and as in
dividuals. He extends a pleasant
greeting and is met with an irritat.

scenes and witnesses the efforts t.

part, causes each member to take an
interest in your affairs, to. know your
troubles and difficulties and always
to be ready and willing to extend a
word of sympathy and offer encour-
agement for the future. To win this
greatest of all prizes-the profit of
Rotary each individual member
must give Xreel-Srom the resources
of his own personality, having in
view no tangible reward beyond the
love, friendship, and esteem of his
fellow Rotarians. Rotary, then,
gives to the public-service man an
inspiration that l have failed to gain
from any other source. / feel that
I get more good from Rotary than
the average members and that the
possibilities in my case, as in the
case of every Rotarian, are limited
only to what we contribute to Rotary
in personality, loyalty and work.

The Relation of Rotary

The result is that / think / know

hc-service man and what I must do
for Rotary as public-service man
to pluck from Rotary the fruit in

dant and within such easy reach of

The Rotary watchword, "He profits
most who serves best" is the key
note of Rotary, but ] venture to say
that it has been as frequently misin-
terpreted by Rotarians as by non-Ro-
tarians, accepting my own case as a
typical example.
How could a public-service man.,
possessing practically q monopoly in
his line of business, profit in dollars
and cents from Rotary? How could
he serve Rotary any better than by
rendering the most efficient service
possible2 Rotary, narrowed down to
these simple though rigid limitations,
offered little or no advantage to the
public-service concern. The mistake

may be making to confuse the
word profit in my mind with the
dollars and cents my company re-
ceives for its product; and to con-

the injection of brotherly love into
the marts of trade; it is the conduct

what has been told me by other Ro-
tarians, ! am sure they underwent
the same evolution.
Soon after / became a Rotarian in

this question: "What good can the
Rotary Club do you? Your concern
is practically a monopoly and people
must have Bell telephone service,
whether or no. You already pos
sess the advantage that Rotary is
expected to win for you"
Then several non-members, who
had read about Rotary, asked me
what it was all about. l blush with
humility when recall my replies.
They, too, wondered what a public
service man could get out of Rotary,
although they understood its value to
competitive merchants If all Rctar-
ians entered a compact, as they were
popularity supposed to do, to give
their trade and that of their friends
exclusively to Rotarians.
There were dozens of such in
stances and each one made me think

Here's where Rotary revives the
