e seen a great
light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light
is sprung up."--BASELEY.
The light in the world comes principally from two sources,--the sun,
and the student's lamp.--BOVEE.
LOVE.--Love is the purification of the heart from self; it strengthens
and ennobles the character, gives higher motives and a nobler aim to
every action of life, and makes both man and woman strong, noble, and
courageous.--MISS JEWSBURY.
We never can willingly offend where we sincerely love.--ROWLAND HILL.
It is difficult to know at what moment love begins; it is less
difficult to know it has begun. A thousand heralds proclaim it to the
listening air, a thousand messengers betray it to the eye. Tone, act,

The first symptom of true love in a young man is timidity, in a girl

If thou neglectest thy love to thy neighbor, in vain thou professest
thy love to God; for by thy love to God the love to thy neighbor is
