Is the diamond less a diamond because accident has cast it among ¿int, or pebble stones? Is it more a diamond, if set in the finest gold? Is not the gem one? Are not its beauty, and its value one, wherever, or however, it may be set?

In dif ferent paths, it may be - all pursuing different avocations yet each bearing on his brow the visible Signet of Jehovah, which confirms the nobility or A godlike nature - each invest~ ed with a mission to his race, for the faithful discharge of which he is accountable to all future generations.
