This The Good Queen Blanche Did Most Earnestly By St. Louis, Her Son: Witness Her Oft-repeated Words, "my Son, I Would Sooner See You Die Than Guilty Of A Mortal Sin;" Words Which Sank So Deeply Into The Saintly Monarch's Heart, That He Himself Said There Was No Day On Which They Did Not Recur To His Mind, And Strengthen Him In Treading God's Ways.

How Are You To Meet The Swarm Of Foolish Attachments, Triflings, And Undesirable Inclinations Which Beset You?
