Whatever expands the affections or
enlarges the sphere of our sympathies,
whatever makes us feel our relatious to
tbe universe and all that it inherits, in
time and In eternity, to the great and
beneficent cause of all, must unques
tionably refine our nature and elevate
us in the scale of being.
The way to gain a good reputation Is
to endeavor to be what you desire to appear.
