Giving People a Little More Than They Expect Is Good Business
"fj
M
The Poetry and Ideality
of a Building
is not observed at all by many persons who see in a
structure only four walls and a roof. Homes are not
made by bricks nor stores by stones.
, Some people never see the ideal of things.
I A little hut on the hillside, without an organ or
any stained glass windows, but with a few
neighbors with hymns in their hearts, may be a
cathedral of worship.
Some people never see the sun in a dewdrop.
Little ideas, little1 dreams, little prejudices,'
sometimes called patriotisms, are only little bags of
self-conceit
This vast structure, the dream of a country boy,
great in dimensions and strength, is much more
than a mart of trade. It is the whole thing
anticipated. It expresses the fullness of an idea that
L is being developed, and its household and house
keepers spend happy days in it doing something
more than "a day's work."
