242 THE CHARITIES THAT SWEETEN LIFE. 
Would you prove that, beyond a doubt, you be- 
long to that company? that you will not be a 
stranger then, when you have laid aside the vest- 
ments of mortality? then imitate them in this 
thing: Go from this hour speak to those 
whom you meet as you would had you already 
taken your place among the happy ones on 
high, and believe me, your Christian character 
will rapidly improve. And you may hope to win 
many a soul to love and seek the religion which 
can so transform the spirit, and so rule the lips, 
that, amid all the vexations of this vexing world, 
no sound shall proceed from them but such as an- 
gels might delight in, and even He, whose name 
is Love, shall always approve.
