Be willing to take those words or actions as jesting, which you have reason to believe were designed as such.
If your companion be a little too sarcastic in speaking, strive not to take notice of it, or be moved at all by it.
Abuse him not, either by word or deed.
Deal justly among those who are your equals, as solicitously as if you were a man with men, and about business of higher importance.
Be not selfish altogether, but kind, free, and generous to others.
Avoid sinful and unlawful recreations, and all such as prejudice the welfare of body or mind.
Scorn not, nor laugh at any because of their infirmities; nor affix to any one a vexing title of contempt and reproach; but pity such as are so visited, and be glad that you are otherwise distinguished and favored.
IN SCHOOL.
Bow at entering, especially if the teacher be present.
