2 Is there not something here to
consider – to choose between?
Does not wisdom teach us to live
for the future?

The man of most discipline &
most trial – & self-sacrifice is sure
to be the happiest man erelong [ever long],
& in the result ~

3. With whom will you cast
your lot –? If with the
Latter who through evil, & toil, & labor,
& wrong, are getting toward eternal
good – – then follow C. [Christ] at once –
denying yourself – taking cross &c [etc.].
