MAY TWENTY-FIRST Albrecht Dürer born 1471. Fernando de Soto died 1542. Alexander Pope born 1688. Self-love but serves the virtuous mind to wake As the small pebble stirs the peaceful lake; The center moved, a circle straight succeeds, Another still, and still another spreads; Friend, parent, neighbor, first it will embrace, Its country next, and next, the human race. --Alexander Pope. A gentleman is one who understands and shows every mark of deference to the claim of self-love in others, and exacts it in return from them. --William Hazlitt. But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold. My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside. --Job 23. 10. Lord God, teach me how secret actions make or destroy my life. Show me the deep lines made by sorrow and discontent that cannot be effaced. May I look toward the corrections of life and not on my imperfections, that my life may be a helpful influence. Amen.
