With each returning morning, 
I cast old things away; 
Life’s journey lies before me.
My prayer is for to-day.

THE little worries which we meet each day
May lie as stumbling blocks across our way, 
Or we may make them stepping-stones to be 
Of grace, O Lord, to Thee.

I ASK thee for a thoughtful love, 
Through constant watching wise, 
To meet the glad with joyful smiles, 
And wipe the weeping eyes,
A heart at leisure from itself,
To soothe and sympathise.

WHOSO neglects a thing which he suspects he ought to do, because it seems to him too small a thing, is deceiving himself; 

WE are too fond of our own will. We want to be doing what we fancy mighty things; but the great point is, to do small things, when called to them, in a right spirit.

All worldly joys go less
To the one joy of doing kindnesses.

HE IS the best teacher of others who is best taught himself:

‘It is difficult enough to keep the Ten Commandments,’ he would say, ‘without making an eleventh in every direction.’
