At Minot’s Ledge lighthouse all “bright work” must be cleaned
every morning--lens, lamps, etc. So also all inside copper
pots and tin-pans. The inspector comes every three months
unannounced, and is handed by the keeper a white linen towel or
napkin, and he goes over these bright things. Then he enters the
item in his diary: “Service napkin not soiled.”
A man should live such a cleanly moral life that nothing around him can
suffer pollution as he uses it. (Text.)
