Text Appearing Before Image:
ght first to consider not only if the thing be fit for us, but if the manufactureof it be a wholesome and happy one, and if, on the whole, the sum we are goingto spend will do as much good spent in this way as it would if spent in anyother way. It may be said that we have not time to consider all this before we make apurchase. But no time could be spent in a more important duty, and God neverimposes a duty without giving the time to do it. Let us, however, only acknow-ledge the principle ; once make up your mind to allow the consideration of theeffect of your purchases to regulate the kind of your purchase, and you will sooneasily find grounds enough to decide upon. The plea of ignorance will nevertake away our responsibilities. It is written, If thou sayest. Behold we knew itnot; doth not He that pondereth the heart consider it? and He that keepeththy soul, doth not He know it ? RUSKIN. Moderation is the silken string running through the pearl-chain of all the virtues. THOMAS FULLER.
