"Mind the light"

SARAH ELEANOR PAINE

The story is told of a woman who for thirty years took care of a lighthouse on a solitary island with practically no human companionship. When asked what inspiration she had to sustain her in her vigil, she said that every morning she heard ringing in her ears her husband's parting admonition, "Mind the light."

Through the long years she followed her highest sense of duty—with little personal encouragement or approval, and perhaps with only an occasional glimpse of the ships to which she was rendering vital service. But during all the years she was rewarded by the inward consciousness of a faithful service unfalteringly performed.
