The Book of Thy Life

Live much in a short time. " Redeem the time," and repair thy omissions in some manner by redoubling thy diligence. Let the book of thy life, the book that must be opened at the last day, be full of sense and worthy matter; let there be no void spaces and empty gaps (idle words and idle hours are such) in it; let every page of it every day be filled with what is significant, intelligible, rational, and worthy to be transcribed and copied out by others. Live in an exemplary way, and follow that best example, the holy Jesus, "who went about doing good."—Worthington.
