THINK ON THESE THINGS.
SINCERITY AND TRUTH
Truth is a thing immortal and perpetual, and it gives to us a beauty that fades not away in time, nor does it take away the freedom of speech which proceeds from justice; hut it gives to us the knowledge of what Is just and lawful, separating them from the unjust and refuting them.
—Epitctus

So nigh is grandeur to our dust, So near is God to man, When duty whispers low, “I must/ The youth replies, “1 can.” 11. W. Emerson.
Begin each day with Alfred's prayer —fiat voluntas tua (let Thy will lie done) —resolving that you will .stand to it, and that nothing that happens in the course of the day shall displease you. Then set to any work you have in hand with the sifted and purified resolution that ambition shall not mix with it, nor love of gain, nor desire of pleasure more than is appointed for you; and that no anxiety shall toucm you as to its issue, nor any impatience nor regret if it fail.
