Lenity has almost always wisdom and
justice on its side.-Hosea Ballou.
Get your enemies to read your works

Humanity is divided into pounds,
shillings and pence. The pound rule,
the shilling trade and the pence labor.
The unconsidered trifies are the farth-

In every kind of art there is degree
of excellence which may be reached, 80
to speak, by the mere use of ones own
natural talents. But at the same time
it is impossible to go beyond that point,
unless art comes to ones aid.-Goethe.
The question is not whether a doc
trine is beautiful, but whether it is true.
When we want to go to place, we don't
ask whether the road leads through
pretty country, but whether it is the
right road, the road pointed out by au-
thority, the turnpike road.-Julius
Hare.
do not think that we have any right
to think of heaven for others, much
less of a heaven for ourselves, in the
world to come until we are wholly de-

and its realization, not in a thousand

nearer future-Stopiord A. Brooke.
God is perfectly powerful because he
is perfectly and infinitely of use, and
