formed. Mr. Burnham was 67 years

I will this day try to live a simple, 
sincere and serene life; repelling promptly 
every thought of discontent, anxiety, dis- 
couragement, impurity and _ self-seeking; 
cultivating cheerfulness, magnanimity, 
charity and the habit of holy silence; 
exercising economy in expenditure, care- 
fulness in conversation, diligence in ap- 
pointed service, fidelity to every trust and 
childlike trust in God.
