Shakespeare is conceded to be the greatest student of human nature.

Was that actually the opinion in general at the time? Does he really belong in a lesson about Chastity of Thought?

Having studied Shakespeare and his plays, I can’t quite justify seeing his work, as an influence that would only bring pure thoughts. (Still chuckling to myself.)

The best thing to do in such a case is to run immediately to a good friend who will give you noble thoughts; perform a kindly act; read the Bible, Book of Mormon and other good literature; above all, go to your room where you are alone with your God; tell Him your trials and temptations, and ask Him to give you strength to overcome your wrong desires. The time to ask Him is not only at night and in the morning, but at the time when the evil thought is suggested to the mind. His guardian angels are near you and will help you if you ask Him.”

I think these are wonderful examples and wonderful counsel, good for women and men, young and old.

I love these old articles — I can easily imagine the faith of the writer, and her purpose in writing. Her purpose is wonderful. When I read the article with this mindset, I have a better appreciation for the article.

Her heart’s in the right place, even if her examples are often, well, “absurd” is as good a word as any.

Well it undoubtedly says something very revealing about me that I approached this lesson wondering what absurd thing the author was going to say today. :)
