adage, “ Be sure you are right, then
go ahead.” When taking a step in
this cause or any other be suie of
the ground you are treading; look
at the matter from all sides,- and
when the right is known do not
falter. It is only by successive
steps that anj’ good has ever been
accomplished. No knowledge was
over gained but by repeated at
tempts. When any right under-
taking is attempted, go through
with it whether the world smile or
froivn; Be not easily discouraged.
Fornf habits of perseverance. Yield
not to sloth and sleep and fickle
ness. To resist all these will not
be easy ; but you will feel that you
have doue tight when your work is
done. God iloes not direct all chu
paths at once, but lie orders one
step at a time. Little by little we
climb the ladder of life. H we
ever reach the top round, called
