60 YOUTH When I offered to type whatever it was, he said no. After he finished he took the sheet over to his desk, sat down, read it carefully, and signed it. He then folded the sheet of paper, put it in an envelope, and addressed it. After doing all this carefully he got up, put on his overcoat and overshoes, and started toward the door. Stopping at my desk, he handed me the envelope and said, "I'm going on down home, and you come when you get ready. Read this, and sign it if you want to." When I opened the envelope I was amazed to see a document which gave me a one-third interest in the firm. But there was just one catch in it. That was that I should put in as many hours as he did— and he was a prodigious worker. However, a saving clause read: "Time spent in the study and practice of Masonry will be considered time spent in the office." That clause was a great tribute to what he had found, and believed I would find, in the Masonic Order. No young man entering upon the fuller practice of his profession could have failed to be moved by the welcome to such partnership— from such a father.
