Don't expect the sorrows of earth to
be cured by signing for heaven.
Don't forget that truth is always
too big to be bounded by one mans
vision.
Don't overlook the fact that nothing
is saved that is withheld in selfish
ness.
Don't fail to be forearmed If you
would have the best kind of faith In
fighting for the right.
Don't blame your idol for leading
you astray when you persist in carry

Perhaps we are carrying our sor.
