 "The man who has begun to live more q seriously within, begins to live more simply without. ..-
 ss'Be sure that ambition and charity will l both grow mean, unless they are both in- 1spired and exalted by religion" \ "Get the pattern of your life from God, and then go about your work and be your self" Il "The men who wrote books and the men who read books seemed to have made s a little world all by themselves" + Everywhere, always, good culture and the championship of principles belong to- .Igether."
 "Be such a man, live such life, that. I if every man were such as you and every I life like yours, this earth would be Gods I paradise
 l Safety and helpfulness, these are the two privileges of full life; these two to- tgether make a successful and complete career"
 "Every experience is like jewel Set in Ito the texture of our life, on which God tshines and makes interpretation and rev. elation of Himself.''
 'The world, as it looks back upon the past years, knows that Gods active care tfor it has proved itself abundantly in all Ihis various treatments. :"
 'sThe intellect must be surrounded by the richness of the affections and backed Eby the power of the will, or it attains no tperfect truth"
 ssFor greatness, after all, in spite of it's fffhame, appears to be not so much cer- tain size as certain quality in human llives.''
 "How wretched I should be if felt that was carrying about with me any isecret that would not be willing that all the world should know"
 Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be Tstronger men. Do not pray for tasks equal to your powers, pray for powers equal to your tasks"
 ] tsThe truth that men are judged by their desires finds it's highest illustration in Jesus. The perfection of His nature is shown in the perfectness of His wishes. D
 Patience and strength are what we need now; an earnest use of what we have and all the time an earnest discon- tent until we come to what we ought to be-" >. -.-.-
 ''The truth of God working through the personality of man has been the salvation of the world. Increase the personality and you increase the power"
 Do not consent to be anything which you would not ask the soul that is dear . est to you to be. Be nothing which you would not wish all the world to be-"
 ''There are no times in life when op- portunity, the chance to be and to do, gathers so richly about the soul as when it has to suffer-"
 "It is the lives like the stars, which simply pour down on us the calm light of their bright and faithful being, up to which we look, and out of which we gather the deepest calm and courage"
 "Christ did not spend His life in trying not to do wrong. I think we break al- most all our resolutions not to do wrong, while we keep a large proportion of our resolutions that we will do what is right" <"
 "God help us to stand in the world, with natures opened upward to receive the divinest gifts, with natures opened outward to catch every humblest oppor- tunity which life affords"
 Men are made quite as much by their sense of what there is in the world, which they do not know, as by the few truths of which they think that they have gained the mystery"
 "That men should be true to their best convictions, and to their simple duty, this is the blessing that gives all blessings with it; and is the fountain of all charity and progress"
 Let us do what we ought and what we can for our own souls at once. For the I judgment is coming, not only at the last day, but all the time. Every day the power that we will not use is falling from us.n - "Go on and struggle; only remember that your struggle will be worthless, how ever you may get the things you seek, unless you can get not merely the bodies of those things, but their souls' : "We talk of Gods remembering us, as if it were 8 special effort. But if we could only know how truly we belong to God it would be different Gods remembrance .
