Just For You-th
Jonathan Edwards, the great eighteenth century- preacher, made five resolutions for himself in his youth and lived by them faithfully: 1) to live with all might while I do live; 2) never to lose one moment of time, but to improve it in the most profitable way I possibly can; 3) never to do anything which I should despise or think wrongly of in another; 4) never to do anything out of revenge; 5) never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.
