TO SERVE IS TO GAIN CHARLES H. MACKINTOSH
Reading edition
in Logging, Duluth
“HE profits most who serves us best!” Let each who labors, lives and dies Beneath these star-bespangled skies Go write that motto on his breast! “He profits most”—Here is no call To selfish ease or sordid gain; Who serves himself will serve in vain; Who profits most must serve us all. And he has most who gives the most, Since what is kept can but decay —And Death still treads his sleepless way Among our myriad human host.
