after all. If the mind goes on in the culture of those high qualities
which have been inwoven with his weak frame, it seems to me his
selfishness has been well disposed of. The dollar which, in the cautious
mind, was begrudged to a wee toddler who never lived, for a pair of
shoes, has been placed where it has brought new knowledge of the power
and wisdom of God, the Creator and Conservator of the Universe. The
wisdom thus born out of selfishness will inculcate in those to follow
him the folly of selfishness, and the tastelessness of its brightest
apples of gold.
