this world. Nobody will have worc
of your honors in the other life. Youl
glory, your shame, your ambitions

for which you spend your life, only

the food.-Beecher.

the first school began doing-teach US
to read. We learn to read in various
languages, in various sciences; we
learn the alphabet and letters Of all
manner of books. But the place
where we are to get knowledge, even
theoretic knowledge, is the books
themselves. It depends on what we
read, after all manner Of professors
have done their best for us. The true

examples?-Bishop Berkeley.
