Excerpt from Life's Evening: Or Thoughts for the Aged An impatient, restless, grasping, or dissatis fied spirit is not consistent with the character of an aged pilgrim. Habitual quietude and self-possession should mark his demeanor. Neither the excitements of the world, nor the agitations of the professing Church, should ruffle your equanimity; for you are too expe rienced a traveller in this vale of tears to be discomposed by the distractions around you, or to doubt the Wisdom and faithfulness of Him who makes all things work together for good.
