"I Have referred to his chivalry only to find that in reality I was thinking of every one of the whole group of attributes which are associated with that name. Loyalty, honesty, generosity, courage; courtesy, tenderness, and self-devotion; to impute no unworthy motives and to bear no grudge; to bear misfortune with cheerfulness and without a murmur; to strike hard for the right and take no mean advantage; to be gentle to women and kind to all that are weak; to be very rigorous with oneself and very lenient to others--these, and any other virtues ever implied in 'chivalry,' were the traits that distinguished Stevenson." _The Life of R. L. Stevenson_, GRAHAM BALFOUR. "Through life he did the thing he was doing as if it were the one thing in the world that was worth being done." _The Life of R. L. Stevenson_, GRAHAM BALFOUR. Being and Doing JANUARY 24 "Upon the man who desired to be His disciple and a member of God's Kingdom were laid the conditions of a pure heart, of a forgiving spirit, of a helpful hand, of a heavenly purpose, of an unworldly mind. Christ did not ground His Christianity in thinking, or in doing, but, first of all, in being." _The Mind of the Master_, DR. JOHN WATSON. "History and literature furnish many instances of men who have made their mark in virtue of a striking _personality_; whose reputation rests, not on any visible tokens,--not on kingdoms conquered, institutions founded, books written, or inventions perfected or anything else that they _did_,--but mainly on what they _were_. Their merely having passed along a course on earth, and lived and talked and acted with others, has left lasting effects on mankind." _Pastor Pastorum_, HENRY LATHAM. Being and Doing JANUARY 25
