Patience is the guardian of faith.
the preserver of peace, the cherisher
of love, the teacher of humility.
Patience governs the flesh. strengthens
the spirit. sweetens the temper, stiles
anger, extinguishes envy, subdues
pride; she brides the tongue, restraints
the hand, tramples upon temptations,
endures prosecutions. Patience is the
courage of virtue, enabling us to lessen
pain of mind or body; it does not so
much add to the number of our joys as
it tends to diminish the number of our
sufferings Labor is still, and ever
will be, the inevitable price set upon
everything which is valuable.
How quickly we Americans exhaust
life. With what painting haste we
pursue everything. Every American
you meet seems to be late for Il train.
Hurry is stamped in the wrinkles of
the American face. We pride our.
selves upon being practical men, men
who strike sledge- hammer blows in
our business, men who make business
of recreation, even. We are men of
action, we die without it; we go fast
er and faster as the years go by, speed
our machinery to the utmost, stretch
the silver cord of life until it snaps.
We have not even leisure to die a nat
ural death, we go at high pressure
until the boiler bursts. We have actu
ally changed the type of our diseases
to suit our changed constitution. In
stead OF the lingering maladies of our
fathers, we drop down and die of heart
formerly so rare. Even death has
adopted our terrible gait If we could
spend few hours each day in the
home circle or romping with the child

increase our happiness. Let's try it.
