Task Is Heavy, But Gratitude Gives Encouragement to Institute Workers

They are serving over 600 meals a day at the Scott Institute, a big piece of work in terms of meat and vegetables to be prepared and cooked and served—and paid for. But the gratitude and independent spirit of many of the men who sit at the Scott tables is to Rev. Morris Zeidman and his helpers a heartening encouragement to go on with the work.

There were two young men, for instance, who came from out of town on their way to take jobs. They had no money to tide them over here. At the Scott Mr. Zeidman saw that they had food to eat and a place to stay. The young men were most insistent that they pay their way by serving the Institute on Elizabeth Street at their own trades. There was, however, at the moment no need for such services…The offer, nevertheless, was appreciated.
