good and not evil; because have
been kind to many; have wished to be
kind to all; have willfully injured
none, and because have loved much
and not selfishIy: therefore, the morn.
ing light is yet visible to me on those
hills, and you who read may trust nv
thought and word in such work as
have to do for you, and you will be
glad afterward that you have trusted
in them.-Ruskin.
