A Clear Conscience

A CLEAR CONSCIENCE.—How bravely a man can walk the earth, bear the heaviest burdens, perform the severest duties, and look all men square in the face, if he only bears in his breast a clear conscience—a conscience void of offence to God or man. There is no spring, no spur, no inspiration like this, To feel that we have omitted no just task, and left no obligation unfulfilled, this fills the heart with satisfaction, and the soul with strength. Conscience, it is said makes cowards of us all—but only cowards when it reproaches us with some unmanliness—some shrinking from truth and right, and the commission of some wrong.
