Simpler Manners, Purer Lives; More Self-denial; More

It Is Not The Situation Which Makes The Man, But The Man Who Makes The Situation.

This World Is Given As A Prize For The Men In Earnest; And That Which Is True Of This World Is Truer Still Of The World To Come.

And Now Because You Are His Child, Live As A Child Of God; Be Redeemed From The Life Of Evil, Which Is False To Your Nature, Into The Life Of Goodness, Which Is The Truth Of Your Being. Scorn All That Is Mean; Hate All That Is False; Struggle With All That Is Impure Live The Simple, Lofty Life Which Befits An Heir Of Immortality.

There Is A Two-fold Solemnity Which Belongs To The Dying Hour-it Is The Winding Up Of Life, And It Is The Commencement Of Eternity.

This World Is Given As The Prize For The Men In Earnest; And That Which Is True Of This World, Is Truer Still Of The World To Come.
