LIVE FOR OTHERS.
God has written upon the flower that sweetens the air, upon the breeze that rocks the flower upon its stem, upon the rain drops that swell the mighty river, upon the dew drop that refreshes the smallest sprig of moss that rears its head in the desert, upon the ocean that rocks every swimmer in its channel, upon every pencilled shell that sleeps in the caverns of the deep, as well as upon the mighty sun which warms and cheers the millions of creatures that live in its light—upon all has he written, "None of us liveth to himself."
