Do not make your daughters theologians and casuists; only teach them such things of heaven as conduce to human goodness; train them to feel that they are always in the presence of God, who sees their thoughts and deeds, their virtue and their pleasures; teach them to do good without ostentation and because they love it, to suffer evil without a murmur, because God will reward them; in a word to be all their life long what they will be glad to have been when they appear in His presence.

With a slight gesture of weariness her husband replied: "Bullard was in charge, and I suppose he did his best." "I am beginning to lose faith in Mr. Bullard.
