"If ye fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture. Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well." -JAMES ii. 8.
COME, children, let us go!
We travel hand in hand;
Each in his brother finds joy
In this wild stranger land.
The strong be quick to raise
The weaker when they fall;
Let love and peace and patience bloom
In ready help for all.
-G. TERSTEGEN
IT is a sad weakness in us, after all, that the thought of a man's death hallows him anew to us; as if life were not sacred too, -as if it were comparatively a light thing to fail in love and reverence to the brother who has to climb the whole toilsome steep with us, and all our tears and tenderness were due to the one who is spared that hard journey.
-GEORGE ELIOT
WOULD we codify the laws that should reign in households, and whose daily transgression annoys and mortifies us, and degrades our household life, -we must learn to adorn every day with sacrifices. Good manners are made up of pretty sacrifices. Temperance, courage, love, are made up of the same jewels. Listen to every prompting of honour.
-R. W. EMERSON
