CHAPTER X.
MEMORY GEMS.
BIBLE AND TALMUD.

When Lincoln wished to find expression for his thoughts in beautiful, 
terse language he went to the Bible. To have ready at one's command 
the many wonderful quotations in the Bible, is a great asset for a speaker. 
Above all have the following selections been made with an eye to their moral appeal. 
Memorize them, think about them, and live them. Club leaders 
should lay great emphasis on this. After the quotations are memorized, 
members should write short essays or give a short talk on 
what is embodied in them, citing as many examples as possible.

C. "ETHICS OF THE FATHERS" IN THE PRAYER BOOK,

Chap. Verse
I.      2. Upon three things the world is based: upon
        the Torah, upon prayer, and upon charity.
        4. Let thy house be a meeting place for the
        wise. 
        10. Love work.
        12. Be of the disciples of Aaron, loving peace,
              and pursuing peace, and loving thy fellow-creatures.
        13. He who does not increase his knowledge
              decreases it. 
        15. Say little and do much.  (Same as 17 above.)
II.       5. Judge not thy neighbor until thou art come
               into his place.    (Same as No. 6 above.)
          5. Neither say, "When I have leisure I will
              study;" perchance thou wilt have no leisure.

Chap. Verse
         6.     In a place where there are no men, strive
                 to be a man.
         18.   When thou prayest, regard not thy prayer
                  as a fixed mechanical task, but as an appeal for mercy and grace
                  before the All-present.
III.    11.    He in whom the fear of sin comes before
                 wisdom, his wisdom shall endure; but he in whom wisdom comes
                  before the fear of sin, his wisdom will not endure.
IV.      1.    Who is wise ? He who learns from all men.
                  Who is rich? He who rejoices in his portion.
           2.    Run to do even a slight precept and flee
                  from transgression; for precept draws precept in its train, and 
                  transgression, transgression.
           3.    Despite not any man, and carp not at any-
                  thing; for there is not a man that has not
                  his hour, and there is not a thing has not
                  its place.
          12.   Be humble of spirit before all men.
          17. The crown of a good name excels all. 
          20. Be  rather  a  tail  to  lions  than  a head  to foxes.
V.      10. There  are  seven  marks  of an  uncultured and 
          seven of a wise man; the wise man
