BARBECUE HASH
ON SATURDAYS
NO DETOUR TO REAL GOAL ,
A RE you bothered and interrupted when you are trying to
k work? Well, let me tell you about a woman who had all
sorts of interruptions. The story was told to me by her
grandson.
She was trying to write a novel, but she could write only
an hour or two at a time, for she had six children and, for a
time she had no household help at all. That woman turned
out to be one of the greatest and most famous women ever j
born in America—Harriet Beecher Stowe. And the book she
wrote, with six children hanging around her knees, was:
“Uncle Tom’s Cabin." And her grandson who told me the.
story is Lyman Beecher Stowe.
She had a table in the kitchen where she wrote much of
the book. And I have seen this table with my own eyes. She
would cook awhile, then write awhile. Meanwhile her hus- i
band was working on his deathless sermons.
Some days she was interrupted so often that she thought *
she could not go on with the work. But she had a deep,;
driving impulse—there was something she believed in—so ;
she rose up against all obstacles and continued with her;
writing.
\ Writing the book took her a year and for it she
wafc paid $100. ^ \
! She hoped the book would be published and that it would
bring in enough for her to buy a silk dress for herself.
When the book appeared, no magazine at first thought it
worth writing a review about. But after the book got “go- ‘
ing" then they reluctantly wrote reviews of it.
The book began to gather momentum and became a tre
mendous factor in casting slavery out of this country. Yet
she had done her work under the greatest difficulties—pov
erty, interruptions, six children. But she got the job done, i
And it became the Book of the Century.
So if you feel you have to work under impossible condi
tions, think of Harriet Beecher Stowe, and keep on writing.;
If you believe in what you are doing, then let nothing hold :
you up in your work. Much of the best work of the world
has been done against seeming impossibilities. The thing
is to get the work done.
