Let us cultivate and reverently
cherish the honest indignations of
our nature, for they are the life and
fire that is in us. Cog has given

who has them the warmest, the
truest, the least wrenched by preju-
dice, the least dulled by sense and
sin.-Phillips Brooks.

No man is more miserable than he
who hath no adversely; that man is

dresses us for heaven. Jeremy Tay-
