"You all desire to be saved by Him, and hope to become partakers of His
glory. Please him, then, by every possible means, during the remainder
of the time you may have to live in this world.

"He is pleased when, from the principle of love, you plant trees for the
public benefit. Be willing, then to plant them. Plant them in the best
possible manner. Remember, you do it to please Him.

"Put all your roads into good condition; ornament them; employ some of
your trees for this purpose, and attend to their growth."

epitaph:--

Found at the Ban de la Roche, in the simplicity
