Gems of Thought.
Hu U a great roan whj can sacrifice everything and say nothing. Despair and postponement are cowardics and uofeat. Men v/erQ bora to succeed, not toful. TJio family and friends of tho drunkard s^icul I ba protected from the ahamo and dangers of hia drunkenness. Th«i more able a man i3, if ho makes ill use of h'u abilities tho more dangerous will he be to tha commonwealth. Let ua bp^in our heaven on earth ; and, beiny ourselves teraptpd, let us bo pitiful and considerate and generous in judging others. Wh'it a min knowa should find its expression in what lie does. The vilue nf superior knowledge h ohiedy in that it leads to a performing minhood. _ The bast thing to give your enemy is forgivonees; to an opponent, tolerance ; to a friend, your heart ; to a child, a good example ; to a father, dffercnc3 ; to your mother, conduct that will make her proud of you ; to yourself, ie.'pcet ; to all men, charity.
