CHARACTER.

CHARACTER shows itself in love more than in study or in labor. And love has more to do in shaping character than have study and labor combined. What we love shows what we are. And what we love makes us what we are to be. The truest force in our character and the truest test of our character, find their center in the affections rather than in the intellect, or than in the activities of our daily living and striving. It is in the lower sphere of life, as in the higher, that love is the fulfilling of the law. Hence we are to guard well the directings and impellings of our heart; for out of it are the issues of life.—Selected.
