ils, he is thereby
likely to receive it; that has common sense in framing regulations, and
backbone to enforce them; whose vocabulary contains more "do's" than
"don'ts." Lucy A. Baker.

The little birds, like the busy bees, are cheery and valuable helpers.
Encourage their presence and aid, by planting trees for their songs and
building little houses for their young.

The domestic animals are our servants and profit-makers, or mortgage
lifters. Always treat them kindly. Never permit anyone to strike, or
stone them. Even the pig of your neighbor, when he becomes a mischievous
intruder in your field, if you give him a friendly chase, will conduct
you to a hole in the fence that ought to be closed.

"Kind words can never die,
Cherished and blest;
God knows how deep they lie,
Stored in each breast."

Character. Character is a word derived from another one that means to
impress or engrave. It marks our individuality. It is the result of the
principles and habits, that have impressed themselves on our nature and
the abilities that have been developed. Solomon calls it a good name,

difficulties. A good character is within the reach of all while
greatness is possible only to a few.

"When wealth is lost, nothing is lost;
When health is lost, something is lost;
When character is lost, all is lost."

Character. "Character is not what we think, feel or know; but what we
are. Character is being; and it is infinitely nobler to be than to have,

overestimated. The confidence of the whole world on which trade,
empires, homes and real happiness are built is confidence in character.
Character is the great end; moral and spiritual education is the
greatest means to attain that end."--Martin.

Character is personal power, the poor boy's best capital and the
success, that makes him greater than his occupation. The weak wait for
opportunities, but the strong seize them and make even common occasions
great.

The world honors success. God honors faithfulness. The world commends
worldly achievements, but God rewards character.

Every student should endeavor to build up the community in which he
lives commercially, socially and religiously.
