Deduct froin the calculation of human life the years
of helpless infancy and thoughtless childhood ; take from
it the years of decrepitude and the days of sickness ; think
of the hours that are spent in sleep, and the many more that
are unprofitably and idly spent—how few are left fur the
cultivation of the understanding, for the improvement of
the heart, and, in one word, for the great purposes for which
we are sent into the world. —At/am:vital.
