This always did seem
but half the story. After
the sunlight has been al
lowed uninterrupted pass
age into the "house Of a
thousand workers" it
should not be allowed to
stop there. The important
idea is to let sunlight into
the hearts Of the workers.
Of course, no one is
cheerful and sunny who
works midst the shadows
and real joy in service is
necessary to complete ex-
pressions Of usefulness.
