Seventh-day Adventist Publishing Association · Battle Creek, Mich. · Jun 20, 1871

“I DESPISE mankind,” said an arrogant millionaire to a noted clergyman. “I see you have studied your own nature,” was the quiet reply.

LOOKING to others for our standard of happiness is the sure way to be miserable. Our business is with our own hearts and our own motives.

AS WE hold a candle to the flame until it is fully lighted, so we must hold ourselves to Christ and his word by meditation.

MAKE no haste to be rich, if you would prosper.
