THE CHRISTIAN MERCHANT.
“The crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers
are the honourable of the earth.”--ISAIAH xxiii. 8.
“We live in deeds not years; in thoughts not breaths;
In feelings not in figures on a dial.
We should count time by heart-throbs: he most lives
Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.”
--BAILEY.
“Defer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh it
rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man’s than of
his own.”--BACON.
