BE OF GOOD CHEER.
WEALTH IN CHARACTER. A good reputation is a good investment; but the only way of securing a permanent investment of good reputation is by putting a good character at interest. “A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches,” but it is often easier to get a character that shall be the basis of a good name. A man may inherit his father’s riches, but a man cannot bequeath his character to his favourite son.
Weigh well your words lest they be swords. Learn to wait For days of lowly toil and bumbled pride And baffled will; For hope .deferred and selfish pride desired I thank Him still.
Tf dark or fair life’s sunset’s home shall be, .T cannot tell. T know the Lord my Shepherd Icadetli Ale and all is well-.
