O Mary, Go And Call

There Will Be No True Freedom Without Virtue, No True Science Without Religion, No True Industry Without The Fear Of God And Love To Your Fellow Citizens.

For To Be Discontented With The Divine Discontent, And To Be Ashamed With The Noble Shame, Is The Very Germ And First Upgrowth Of All Virtue.

Every Winter, When The Great Sun Has Turned His Face Away, The Earth Goes Down Into A Vale Of Grief, And Fasts, And Weeps, And Shrouds Herself In Sables, Leaving Her Wedding-garlands To Decay- Then Leaps In Spring To His Returning Kisses.

We Ought To Reverence Books; To Look On Them As Useful And Mighty Things. If They Are Good And True, Whether They Are About Religion, Politics, Farming, Trade, Law, Or Medicine, They Are The Message Of Christ, The Maker Of All Things - The Teacher Of All Truth.

Study Nature As The Countenance Of God.
