    D. of John Wyclif, English reformer (1384) B. of Hermann Boerhaave, Dutch physician (1668) The world is my country; to do good is my religion.—Thomas Paine. o I cannot believe that any falsehood whatever is necessary to morality. It cannot be true of my race and yours that to keep ourselves from becoming scoundrels we must needs believe a lie. The sense of right grew up among healthy men, and was fixed by the practice of comradeship. It has never had help from phan¬ toms and falsehoods, and it never can want any. By faith in man and piety towards men we have taught each other the right hitherto; with faith in man and piety towards men, we shall never¬ more depart from it.—W. K. Clifford. o I wish you a Happy New Year. May the three great blessings— Peace of Mind, Independence and Health be yours in the fullest measure. May I hope that the daily perusal of these maxims and your occasional acting upon them has been of some benefit to you during the year that is just closing! o Do not despair! Face the world with hope and courage!
