"Do Thyself No Harm."
—Are you a youth, disregarding parental authority, going into company, and to places where you would be ashamed for your parents to see you? with one of old I would say to you, "do thyself no harm."
Are you a young man, your education completed and about entering upon life for yourself? give heed to the voice of a friend. In your choice of an occupation or profession, and in the prosecution of your business, be sure to "do thyself no harm."
Are you a parent?—see to it that your duties, as such, are performed so as to "do thyself no harm."
Are you a child, son or daughter? be careful to act in that sphere in a way to "do thyself no harm."
Are you a Christian, moving in the private walks of life! let your words and acts be such as to "do thyself no harm."
Are you an impenitent sinner, every moment exposed to wrath divine, but yet out of hell?—hear O sinner, the word of God, and "do thyself no harm"
To all who read we say, do thy neighbor "no harm;" do thy friend "no harm;" do thy enemy "no harm;" do thy body "no harm," but above all things do thy soul no harm.
