Thoughts For The Times
Lloyd Geohge’s Outlook
j “Personally lam not concerned with {the future. I have had 15 years of.the haydptt work almost any man has ever had, in every kind of qflk® and in every kind of weather, apd if .ajjy. p&npgj? of tho political conditions could gjvp mp a respite I would rejoice in it—not that I feel my strength failing, thank God. Hut T would like it. I have got to a place I n-jver thought of getting to. I tell you this oti )iry honour, that I have got to a place I never sought,; I jyas put there hy events of which I had no control, and I have only tried to do my duty. Tf I had the opportunity that would put me ip. a position of independence I should love to devofe the whole of my time to the task which appeals most deeply to my nature and is most consistent with my upbringing—namely, to do my best for those who are less fortuate in life- But men have no choice in great times; they must carry on where they are placed; they must give the best counsel they can; they must devote the whole of their energies to the task which Providence has cut out for them.”
