Piety. If the young man forgets his God, the old one will seldom find him in age: if in the pride and flush of health, we omit to call on the name of Him from whom we possess the vigor of life; in the hour of sickness, what comfort can we have in approaching his divine majesty? And if in the full enjoyment of every species of worldly prosperity, we neglect to pause in the midst of our enjoyment, to acknowledge the giver of all good gifts, with what heart can we in the hour of adversity, fly for protection to Divine Goodness.
