Plodding Progress in San Francisco
Dr. Herbert Law, one of the owners of the big Fairmont Hotel in San Francisco, puts the emphasis on the rebuilding of that great city just where it belongs in any right progressive work. He says that the work looks formidable, but it will not take as much time as it seems to require. It is patient, plodding growth that is almost magical in effect. If one will accept the present conditions as they are, forget to make comparisons, and make every day, yes, every hour, count to some progressive, forceful thing, the totals will always take care of themselves. Nature has done much, opportunities are splendid, the country is prosperous; but, after all, he tells us that it is the measure of the man that tells the final story. And so it is. And that is just how difficulties in God’s work are met, for each individual to do his level best, and keep plodding on, and it is wonderful how much can be accomplished.
