Virtue is the only Amaranthine flower on Earth and ?? is the proper sort? in which to nourish it. What is more gentle or fewer? in the sight of God or man than virtue? As there is nothing it may 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 really good and gentle. Virtue like the sun shines not by borrowed light but actually contains the substance, which makes it appear so bright, lovely, and attractive, and like the sun sends its rays upon other bodies to gladden them with its gentle radiance, ?? it is so very beautiful and attractive and is so universally admired by all in every land yet it is often banished from the presence of individuals of high standing.They can but admire it in others but strive not to obtain it for themselves. Everyone has within him the seeds of every virtue and it depends upon the soiul in which he places them, the nourishment which he gives them and the care which he bestows upon them whether they grow to perfection or become ?? at an early day. As every one has been provided with the seeds of every virtue is it not a duty devolving? upon him to nourish those seeds in the best manner possible, to provide suitable soil for their growth and to watch over them with the most vigilant care lest they be uprooted or demolished?
