Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Canterbury Here is a time in the lives of most men and more women when the veriest trivialities are not only pleasing but act upon the system as healing balm. To enjoy life, work is a necessity, and there is nothing much truer than the state ment that he is most miserable who has nothing to do. I well remember a gentleman, who having retired in Canterbury from a successful London business, on more than one occasion begging me to find him some work in my office, which he would gladly do without payment for a few hours every day. (to thoroughly understand a builder's business is the business of a life-time, and those who have not been apprenticed to it are not likely to find much in it but trouble and vexation.) My private opinion is that this good man died for want of employment at least thirty years before he need have done. Some men have to kill time, which is indeed a strange expres sion to those who lead a life of happiness simply through finding so much to do for other people while doing what is necessary for themselves.
