The man who takes no count of what is fair, friendly, pure, unselfish, lovely, gracious, where is his claim to call Jesus his master? where his claim to Christianity? What saves his claim from being merest mockery? The outshining of any human light must be obedience to truth recognized as such; our first show of light as the Lord's disciples must be in doing the things he tells us.
I appeal to our unselfish men and women no longer to limit their discussions to the events which this month or year brings forth. The present is always a bad time for consideration.

"Sweetly pretty," as Mrs. Coffinkey called her, was exactly what she was, for she was thoroughly good and unselfish, and a happy, simple nature looked out through her brown smiling eyes.

As she turned her face towards him from time to time he thought its expression beautiful.
The Duchess's consistent and unselfish kindness procured her from the King, and those about him who knew her best, the name of "our angel."
