WORTH
iMy definition of worth is short;
truth and humanity respecting out
fellow creatures ; reverence and hu
mility in tile presence of that Being
my Creator and Preserver, and who
1 have every reason to believe, will
one day be my judge. Thu first part
of my definition is the creature of
unbiassed instinct; the last is the
child of after reflection. Where I
found these two essentials, I would
gently note, and slightly mention a-
uy attendant flaws—fl iws, the marks,
the consequences of human nature.
