on your mind, think how much your brother wishes you to behave well, and
to render yourself useful and beloved; but remember above all, that God
always sees you, and that you never can be guilty of a fault that is not
known to him. Strive then to be dutiful and obedient to our only
remaining parent, and to be kind and affectionate to all around you."

These are beautiful exhibitions of his filial love. A remembrance of his
mother's wants and sorrows was a constantly growing principle of his
youthful heart. It was a spirit, too, which never forsook him through
his whole subsequent life. Even while on his bed of death in Africa, his
heart still yearned over the sorrows and cares of his widowed mother.
Then he gave directions for the sale of his little earthly property,
that the avails of it might be sent back to America to his mother.
Though the sum was small it was enough to contribute much to her comfort
for her remaining years. How precious is such a recollection of a boy
who never forgot, and never ceased to love his mother. What a beauty
does this fact add to the character and conduct of a youth! How valuable
is such a tribute to the memory of a youth, "He never forgot his
mother!"
