ife for me, were to
remember all the instances in which I have neglected Him, and to plead
them against me in judgment, where should I hide my guilty head in the
day of recompense? I will pray, therefore, for blessings on my
friends, even though they cease to be so, and upon my enemies, though
they continue such.--COWPER.

us.--THE LORD'S PRAYER.

God's way of forgiving is thorough and hearty,--both to forgive and to

FORTITUDE.--The greatest man is he who chooses the right with
invincible resolution; who resists the sorest temptations from within
and without; who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully; who is the
calmest in storms, and whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on God, is
the most unfaltering.--CHANNING.

Fortitude implies a firmness and strength of mind, that enables us to

True fortitude I take to be the quiet possession of a man's self, and

The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.--MOLIERE.

FREEDOM.--I would rather be a freeman among slaves than a slave among
freemen.--SWIFT.

likes; the true, where a man is free to do what he ought.--CHARLES
KINGSLEY.

The cause of freedom is the cause of God.--BOWLES.

Stone walls do not a prison make,
Nor iron bars a cage;
Minds innocent and quiet take
That for an hermitage;
If I have freedom in my love,
