Rights and duties are inseparable in human beings. God has
rights without duties. Men have rights and duties. If a slave have not rights,
he also has not duties. . . .
With the girls to a matinee at Bellevue Hall. They danced and
I was happy.
My croquet party kept me busy all day. It was pleasant
enough. . . .
. . . “My peace I give unto you” is a wonderful saying. What
peace have most of us to give each other? But Christ has given peace to the
world, peace at least as an ideal object, to be ever sought, though never fully
attained.
