will abstain from voting on it. The

Short Sermons.

Hypocrisy, besides being odious, is
burdened with villainy.
To teach that God inculcates ven

Whenever censure prevails wisdom
is there imperative.
Sudden love or sudden hate is the
most difficult to control.
The practice of patience is the best
remedy for weakness.
When we have the will to labor we
have the power to achieve.
It is difficult to purchase love, but
easy to sacrifice it.
Truth is of such a rare quality that
it is seldom bought dear.
When we cannot have confidence
then esteem is impossible.
Happiness appreciated is really un-
repented pleasure.
1t requires tact to distinguish in

Truth liveth eternal, while Opin-

The human family would be much

It is better to retrace a wrong step
