ood he does in this world.--MOHAMMED. Superfluity comes sooner by white hairs, but competency lives longer. --SHAKESPEARE. He is rich whose income is more than his expenses; and he is poor whose expenses exceed his income.--LA BRUYERE. No man can tell whether he is rich or poor by turning to his ledger. It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich or poor according to what he is, not according to what he has.--BEECHER. Wealth is not his that has it, but his that enjoys it.--FRANKLIN. He that maketh haste to be rich shall not be innocent.--PROVERBS 28:20. Riches without charity are nothing worth. They are a blessing only to him who makes them a blessing to others.--FIELDING. SABBATH.--The Sunday is the core of our civilization, dedicated to thought and reverence. It invites to the noblest solitude and to the noblest society.--EMERSON. Students of every age and kind, beware of secular study on the Lord's day.--PROFESSOR MILLER. A world without a Sabbath would be like a man without a smile, like a summer without flowers, and like a homestead without a garden. It is the joyous day of the whole week.--BEECHER. He who ordained the Sabbath loved the poor.--O.W. HOLMES. SCANDAL.--If there is any person to whom you feel dislike, that is the person of whom you ought never to speak.--CECIL. There is a lust in man no charm can tame, Of loudly publishing his neighbor's shame;-- On eagle's wings immortal scandals fly, While virtuous actions are but born and die. --ELLA LOUISA HERVEY. No one loves to tell of scandal except to him who loves to hear it. Learn, then, to rebuke and check the detracting tongue by showing that you do not listen to it with pleasure.--ST. JEROME. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamor, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.--EPHESIANS 4:31. SCEPTICISM.--Scepticism has never founded empires, established principles, or changed the world's heart. The great doers in history have always been men of faith.--CHAPIN. Scepticism is a barren coast, without a harbor or lighthouse.--BEECHER. Freethinkers are generally those who never think at all.--STERNE. I know not any crime so great that a man could contrive to commit as poisoning the sources of eternal truth.--DR. JOHNSON. SECRECY.--The secret known to two is no longer a secret.--NINON DE LENCLOS. Secrecy has been well termed the soul
