We are among those who believe that the
obligations men are under to the Divine Be-
ing (and which they must discharge to the
best of their knowledge, indicates the pro-
prlety that they should mark the circum-
stances around them and opportunities there
are for them to labor in that situation in
which they can accomplish the most good.
No man, who lives exclusively for himself,
without reference to the. welfare of others,
can be accounted faithful servant when he
shall have to render his account


Whether we can claim TO be acting for
the good of others or not, we deceive our
self if this is not our leading motive in oc-
cupylng the place in which we are now
found. In taking upon us this pleasing bur-,
den, the making of money, or becoming
rich, has not entered into our calculation.
We have thought it probable, at least for
time, that we shall lose. This we feel
willing to do while there is reasonable
prospect of doing good. If we should,
however, be disappointed, and make large
amount of money, we shall not be offended
We will try to use it in way that will still
alleviate misery and promote human happi-
ness.
