You may feel as if you know not how or what to work aright. Fear not all learning begins with ignorance and mistakes. Be of good courage. Let the necessity that is laid upon you the necessity that you should glorify God, that you should bless the world, that you should through work ennoble and perfect your life and blessedness, urge you to give immediate and continual diligence to be a workman completely furnished unto every good work. It is only in doing we learn to do aright.
