Self-Measurement

Now, I want to ask each of you, on this
Sabbath evening, to measure yourself in this
respect: Take a little more time before you
say your prayers to-night and find out if you
are growing in your ability to make a living,
to love your studies, to control your mind so
far as concentration upon your studies is concerned,
and in that higher matter of making
yourself more useful to the world, and more
helpful and cheerful to every one who touches
your life, whether in class or bedroom, whether
in the night or day. Are you growing in the
matter of making men love you more and of
making yourself more useful to every individual?
