ind what you do that transforms a
calling from a gray, dead, monotonous vocation into a glowing, living,
interesting career. You can be a routine doctor, seeing only the dull
round of aches and pains; or you can be the Great Physician who
continues God's work of healing on the earth. As for the
manufacturer--in this field, too, you can be the mere money-getter who
crowds down and ignores those who have helped him to amass his wealth;
or you can be the profit-sharer and co-worker. It all rests with
yourself. It will not be the fault of the task you choose but the
littleness of your vision if you dwarf your life and find your horizon
small."

Long afterward Theo Swift remembered those words, and when on his
twenty-second birthday he entered the Trenton mills, there to be
trained to assume a partnership in the business, it was with the aim
that as a captain of industry he would serve his generation.
