Synopsis
Excerpt from Reports of the First Exhibition of the Salem Charitable Mechanic Association: At the Mechanic Hall, in the City of Salem, September, 1849
Who wear away their lives for a bubble And who coin their souls to purchase dross.
Men, whether in the workshop, or the quiet domestic circle, as truly discharging their duty to God and man as if filling the most exalted station in society; for they are silently sowing the seeds of truth; solacing themselves amid their occupations and toils, that the good seed they scatter abroad, does not fall among thorns to be choked, or upon stony ground to wither away, but upon good ground, where it will take root, spring up, and yield a glorious harvest for posterity.
