MARCH SIXTEENTH

James Madison, Virginia, fourth President United States, born 1751.
Caroline Lucretia Herschel born 1750.
Alexander Watts born 1797.

If we live truly we shall see truly. It is as easy for the strong man to be strong as it is for the weak to be weak. When we have new perception we shall gladly disburthen the memory of the hoarded treasures as old rubbish. When a man lives with God his voice shall be as sweet as the murmur of the brook and the rustle of the corn.
—Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The tissue of the life to be,
We weave with colors all our own,
And in the field of Destiny
We reap as we have sown.

Now when they beheld the boldness of Peter and John, and had perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.
—Acts 4. 13.

Lord God, quiet me if I am not calm, that my soul may be able to contemplate and have an opportunity to grow. Help me, that I may be able even in discouragements to have the true perception of life. Amen.
