A Coop MORAL CHARACTER
There is nothing which adds so
much to the beauty and power of
man as a good moral character
1t is his wealth--his influence
his life. 1t dignifies h i m
in every station, exalts him
in every condition, and glori
ties him at every period Of life
Such character is more to be de
sired than everything else o n
earth. 1t makes a man free and
independent. No servile tool, no
crouching sycophant, no treach.
erous honor.seeker, ever bore such
a character. The pure joys of
truth and righteousness never
spring in such person. If vonng
men but knew how much good a
character would dignity and exalt
them, how glorious it would make
their prospects even in this life,
never should we fin d til 9 m
