"The person to whom you owe
more than you can ever pay, or

She endured more for you, ser
ved you more patiently, loved you
more constantly, and hoped for
you more bravely than any other
person you have known on earth
or ever will know, savo your wife
or your husband, if indeed, they
can always be excepted. If your
mother be spared to you, then
are you bound to make her a first
chargo on your life, rs you desire
a peaceful conscience and as you
shall answer beforo the judgment
seat of (iod. She must bo encom
passed with every observance of
coin fort and honor and gentleness
and love, with sacrifices, also, if
so be it will please her, of tastes
and 'occupations aud time, and
even friendships, and after you
have done all that you can think
of, and any one suggests, you will
still remain a hopeless bankrupt
for the love wherewith she loved
you."
