There are still a few organizations

A LIFE SENTENCE

take the case of a railroad con-
ductor or engineer. Suppose a man
has to take train of coaches from
New York to Washington, leaving
New York, say, at p. m. Anyone
can readily see that his task may be
contemplated in two entirely different
frames of mind.
"He can say, as the bell rings and
rouses him in what seems the dead of
night, Hang it all, it's time to get up
again.; nothing but the same old
grind; l hate railroading, anyway; l
think I'll quit; this isn't a job; it's a
life sentence
"Or he can do something else. He
can press button somewhere inside
himself and in flash see the whole
situation big before him, pulsating
in all its human interest. He can see
the great system with which he is
connected; its multiplex life. He can
see the hugh overarched shed with it's
breathing trains; he can see his own
engine or train, and as he contemplates
what by this time has begun to shape
itself in his mind as an opportunity a
smile can be seen breaking on his live
ly FACET is his engine, his train;
he can see the three hundred souls,
more or less, waiting to be taken to
Washington, each with a living inter
est, how and with what fraught God
only knows, and it's up to him to take
that big human thing to Washington!
Once more he smiles, and, thanking
God he has share in human things,
in the work that needs to be done, he
presses his hat down on his head and
beats it,"

Director General of Railroads
