Came college. university and settle
ment work. But let Olga Edith be
her own vigorous self. She discovered.
that:
I'm New York or Wyoming people
needed something besides food and
raiment and leisure time; they needed
something that would make their
lives glad and joyous and daring and
noble. In other words, they needed
that something by many called re-
ligion. So came to GAINESVILLE, Ohio,
as a director of religious education
(much against my friends advice,
who insisted that stay in New York;
and here was licensed to preach. My
reasons for coming to a small place
were these:
II believe that many people work in
a large city, not because they love
their job and because of the jobs
sake, but because they love New York
and would work at anything for the
sake Of staying in it. I don't believe
it is How big is the town your jobs
in? that matters so much as How big
have you made your job in the town
you are in?' that really counts.
'The second reason for working in
q small town Especially If ones work
is rather new, is that Old Tradition
hasn't been placed upon a throne and
taught to wave a little stick to the
tune Of, 1T hasn't never been done
like that before Because 1 was the
first director of religious education in
GAINESVILLE there were no traditions as
to how I should look, act or do my
work. So was able to do things very
much more easily and with less fric-
ton than if I had been compelled to
vanquish old Brother Tradition.
Thirdly, to say in the parlance of
the ministerial profession, a young
person becomes poised, and well bal
anced more quickly in a small place
than in large because Of her larger
opportunities for notice and advance.
