"Integrity!" We linger on the word. We love it. Is it wholly because of its canny association that "it doth become the mouth so well," or is there in its very make-up an intrinsic power that wakes in us a responsive sense of loyalty and strength, an adherence to all that is true and good and reliable? Who can tell?
"He is a man of integrity." No greater commendation can be spoken by the tongue of man. He who has earned it, stands already on the threshold of a presence chamber where awaits him the Divine approval: "Well done, thou good and faithful servant, ... enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
Integrity sweeps clean the hearth-stone of our every-day abiding-place, and opens the doors and windows for heaven's light to enter.
