feelings, is a rose in the shade.

VERY LARGE.--Give a most exalted sense and feeling of the moral and
religious, with a high order of practical goodness, and the strongest
aspirations for a higher and holier state, both in this life and that
which is to come.

FULL.--Has a good moral and religious tone, and general correctness of
motive, so as to render feelings and conduct about right; but with strong

AVERAGE.--Surrounded by good influences, will be tolerably moral and

SMALL.--Has weak moral feeling; lacks moral character; and, with large
propensities, is liable to be depraved, and a bad member of society.

VERY SMALL.--Feels little, and shows no moral tone.

PENITENCE; FORGIVENESS. Adapted to the rightness of right, and the
wrongness of wrong, and to the moral nature and constitution of things.
Perverted, it makes one do wrong from conscientious scruples, and torments
with undue self-condemnation.

LARGE.--Loves the right as right, and hates the wrong because wrong; is
honest, faithful, upright in motive; means well; consults duty before
expediency; feels guilty when conscious of having done wrong; desires
forgiveness for the past, and to do better in future; with strong
propensities, will sometimes do wrong, and then be exceedingly sorry
therefor; and, with
