Yet, in this matter of supreme importance the majority of mankind act without the least forethought or even intelligence. 

Do not be so negligent. Keep the divine purpose ever before your eyes to guide every detail of your life. "O Lord, make me know my end, and what is the number of my days; that I may know what is wanting to me" (Ps. xxxviii. 5).
