Excerpt from In Memoriam Henry Harrison Cumings, Charlotte J. Cumings The following paper written by H. Tewksbury was found among the choice treasures of Captain H. H. Cum ings and represents the ideal according to which he would gladly fashion his life. Doubtless he had often read and pon dered it. \ve place it at the head of these pages: To be joyous in my work, moderate in my pleasures, chary in my confidences, faithful in my friendships; to be en ergetic but not excitable, enthusiastic but not fanatical; loyal to the truth as I see it, but ever open-minded to the newer light; to abhor gush as I would profanity, and to hate cant as I would a lie; to be careful in my promises, punctual in my engagements, candid with myself and frank with others; to discourage shams and rejoice in all that is beautiful and true' to do my work and live my life so that neither shall require defense or apology; to honor no one simply because rich or famous, and despise no one because humble or poor; to be gentle and considerate toward the weak, respectful and yet self-respecting toward the great, courteous to all, obsequious to none; to seek wisdom from great books and inspiration from good men; to invigorate my mind with noble thoughts as I do my body with sunshine and fresh air; to prize all sweet human friendships and seek to make at least one home happy' to have charity for the erring, sympathy for the sorrowing, cheer for the despondent; to be indifferent to none, helpful to some, friendly with all; to leave the world a little better off because of me; and to leave it, when I must, bravely and cheer fully, with faith in God and good will to all my fellowmen this shall be my endeavor during the coming year.
