Many people find their only happiness

necessary TO be intent on the present.
To be doing one thing and thinking OF
another is a very unsatisfactory mode OF
spending lie.
Would you be exempt from uneasi-

pect to be wrong, Would you enjoy the
purest pleasure, do everything in your
power which you are convinced is right.
