APRIL SIXTEENTH Charles Montagu, Earl of Halifax, born 1661. Charles W. Peale born 1741. Sir John Franklin born 1786. Weary of myself and sick of asking What I am, and what I ought to be, At the vessel's prow I stand, which bears me Forward, forward, o'er the starlit sea O air-born voice! long since severely clear, A cry like thine in my own heart I hear. Resolve to be thyself: and know that he Who finds himself, loses his misery. --Matthew Arnold. This above all to thine own self be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou can'st not then be false to any man. --William Shakespeare. Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee. Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established. --Proverbs 4. 25, 26. My Father, give me a sense of nearness to thee when I may be faltering from weariness in well doing. May I hold to my determinations. Help me to know what is useless, that I may not give unnecessary energy, and to know what is worth while, that I may acquire strength through the power of truth. Amen.
