Noble Living

By George S. Merriam

LIFE is a great word. It is a larger word than religion or goodness or character. Fulness of life—that is what we want. In our efforts toward right living, we often fail, not for want of a pure and strong purpose, but because we have not in ourselves enough vital force to give effect to our purpose. We are like an engine which does not do its work well, because it has not a sufficient head of steam on. The secret of noble and joyful living lies largely in putting ourselves in steady communication with the reservoirs divinely set for the supply of man’s soul.—George S. Merriam.
