Mind the Children
Do not try to do a great thing ; you may waste all your life waiting for the opportunity which may never come. But since little things are always claiming your attention, do them as they come, for the glory of It is God and to do good to men. harder to Plod on in obscurit acting thus, than to stand on the high Places of the field within view of all and do deeds of valour at which rival armies stand still to gaze, but no such act goes without the recognition and the ultimate recompense of Christ.

There is an odd Provision in the English law on wrecks. It used to be that wrecks, like Pretty nearly everything else, belonged to the king. Sometimes, if a vessel were only partly wrecked and it could be raised, an owner was averse to surrendering it ; hilt it was generally seized for the king in accordance with the law, until the question came up as to just what was a wreck. It was generally admitted that when all hands were lost, that was a wreck but as they wanted to get as narrow a definition as they could, they got Parliament to establish this law, that in future nothing shall be considered a wreck out of which a cat or dog escapes alive and from time that until the Present day no vessel coasts about England without carrying a cat or dog.
