"Virtue is the only Amaranthine flower on earth" and Society is the proper soil in which to nourish it. What is more gentle or purer in the sight of God and man than virtue? I pray for this season truly be called an Amaranthine flower and that it is the only one is evident from the fact that it embraces every quality that is truly good and gentle. Virtue like the sun shines not by borrowed light but really contains the substance which makes it look like bright, and lovely and attractive and like the sun separts its rays upon other bodies to gladden them with its gentle radiance.
