wife and mother, he a husband and father.
To these relationships he will be faithful.
Is not his a larger love than that of the
courtship? I do not see that we can say
so. But it is love of a different sort and a
very noble sort. We called love the joint
service of a common life. Though she no
longer joins him, he joins the community
in maintaining the family tie. What keeps
him going is his professional responsibil-
ity. Being a good husband is the task as-
signed him in the general division of labor.
He recognizes its justice, controls his tem-
per, and patiently meets the hardship in-
volved. I cannot see how there is less pro-
fessional responsibility here than in the case
of the shoemaker or physician. Indeed,
wherever any one is true to his specific
task, puts his heart into it, works not for
money alone nor through interest in a sin-
gle individual, but, without calculating any
equivalence between what he gives and re-
ceives, studies how he may most fully per-
form the work to which he has been called,
that man is exhibiting professional re-
sponsibility, honoring love, and exalting
justice in a way to deserve profound rev-
erence.
