CHAPTER III.

THE CHRISTIAN MERCHANT.

“The crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth.”--ISAIAH xxiii. 8.

“We live in deeds not years; in thoughts not breaths; In feelings not in figures on a dial. We should count time by heart-throbs: he most lives Who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best.” --BAILEY.

“Defer not charities till death; for certainly, if a man weigh it rightly, he that doth so is rather liberal of another man’s than of his own.”--BACON.
