Uncle Philip got no further, as all the children now came running toward them. The two little ones both tried hard to put the biggest strawberries they had found into the mouths of their mother and uncle. Mea could not hold her magnificent bunch of forget-me-nots near enough to their eyes to be admired. The two older boys had approached, too, as they had an announcement to make.
We should, therefore, be careful to preserve the memory of our thoughts at important points in our life; and herein lies the great advantage of keeping a journal. To be self-sufficient, to be all in all to oneself, to want for nothing, to be able to say omnia mea mecum porto that is assuredly the chief qualification for happiness.
Kurt exclaimed suddenly, starting up from his drawing; "you ought to have reminded me, Mea, that we have to bring some clothes to school for the poor people whose houses were burnt up.

He concentrated his thoughts on the prayer from the Imitation: "Domine, dummodo voluntas mea recta et firma ad te permaneat, fac de me quid-quid tibi placuerit."
"In mea vesanas habui dispendia vires, Et valui poenas fortis in ipse meas."* OVID. * I had the strength of a madman to my own cost, and employed that strength in my own punishment. "Then might my breast be read within, A thousand volumes would be written there."
She wears a gorgeous crown, which her Son has placed on her brow Christ has only the cruciform nimbus; in his left hand is an open book, on which is inscribed, "Veni, Electa mea" &c.
