Next to reading, meditation, and prayer, there is nothing that so secures our hearts from foolish passions, nothing that preserves so holy and wise a frame of mind, as some useful, humble employment of ourselves.

And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. -- Luke 14:17
