An Appeal with a Promise

Improvement Era, vol. 15, no. 8, June 1912, p. 742

Grant, Heber J.

An Appeal with a Promise The readers of the Era will remember that I appealed to them to get at least one additional subscriber to our magazine, la?t month. I now earnestly appeal to every reader of our magazine to learn by heart the quoted sentiments which follow. I promise them that if they will do so, and make these teachings a part of their lives, that our Father in Heaven will bless them, and the gratitude that will come from the people to whom they have shown love and kindness will add much joy to their daily lives : "Make a rule, and pray to God to help you to keep it, never, if possible, to lie down at night without being able to say, I have made one human being at least a little wiser, a little happier, or a little better this day. You will find it easier than you think, and pleasanter." — Charles Kingsley. "Live for something. Do good and leave behind you a monument of virtue that the storm of time can never destroy. Write your name in kindness, love and mercy on the hearts of thousands you come in contact with year by year. Good deeds will shine as the stars in heaven." — Chalmers. Heber ]". Grant.
