It is a sad thing to see a person, or a family, who makes one day just like another; who does not care to make one day better than any of the others; that regards all things as good enough. On a low level, it is a moral influence that leads one to dress better on some occasions than on others, and to spread a better table on some occasions than on others. Although I should not dignify such efforts as these by calling them religious, I do say that they are minor forms of the inspiration of moral feeling, and indicate the disposition that is so necessary—the disposition to go up; to leave lower forms in favor of higher developments, both in material things, in social elements, in intellectual progress, and in moral estate. It is aspiration, in one of its lower forms.
