TO
MY FRIEND
WILLIAM CURTIS GIBSON





"Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honor, and another unto dishonor?"
—Holy Writ.

     "John and Peter and Robert and Paul—
     God, in His wisdom, created them all.
     John was a statesman and Peter a slave,
     Robert a preacher and Paul was a knave.
     Evil or good, as the case might be,
     White or colored, or bond or free,
     John and Peter and Robert and Paul—
     God, in His wisdom, created them all."
              The Chemistry of Character.
