The duty of helping one's self in the highest sense involves the helping of one's neighbors.

Help from without is often enfeebling in its effects, but help from within invariably invigorates.

The great high-road of human welfare lies along the old highway of steadfast welldoing; and they who are the most persistent, and work in the truest spirit, will invariably be the most successful.

Biographies of great, but especially of good men are most instructive and useful as helps, guides, and incentives to others. Some of the best are almost equivalent to gospels,--teaching high living ,high thinking, and energetic action, for their own and, the world's good.

Progress however, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.

Obedience, submission, discipline, courage--these are among the characteristics which make a man.

The best school of discipline is home. Family life is God's own method of training the young, and homes are very much as women make them.
