make thee regret thy gifts to
me; and if I have failed to appreciate them, look upon me with pity,
for I have cheated myself more than I have thee. Give me a deeper
appreciation, that I may be strengthened day by day in the veriest
duties of life. Amen.

Beyond all wealth, honor, or even health, is the attachment we form
to noble souls, because to become one with the good, generous, and
true is to become, in a measure, good, generous, and true ourselves.

Open thy bosom, set thy wishes wide, and let in manhood--let in
happiness; admit the boundless theater of thought from nothing up to
God ... which makes a man.

--Thomas Young.

Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their
labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to
him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him
up.

--Ecclesiastes 4. 9, 10.

Heavenly Father, I thank thee for good friends, and for the delight
that dwells in fellowship. Give me the power to apprehend love, and
guard me against the ways to lose it. May I look to my friends to help
me to be pure, and to help me live my truest life. Amen.

I cannot do it alone,
The waves run fast and high,
And the fogs close chill around,
And the light goes out in the sky;
But I know that we two
Shall win in the end--
God and I.

--Unknown.

Let us hold fast the confession of our hope that it waver not.

hold out to the end. Amen.
