But not without our constant working together.

We must ourselves make head, and heart, and, especially, conscience of all our thoughts--for a long lifetime we must do that.

The _Ductor Dubitantium_ has a deep chapter on 'The Thinking Conscience.' And what a reproof to many of us lies in the mere name! For how much evil-thinking and evil- speaking we have all been guilty of through our unthinking conscience and through a zeal for God, but a zeal without knowledge.

Look back at the history of the Church and see; look back at your own history in the Church and see.

Yes, make conscience of your thoughts: but let it first be an instructed conscience, a thinking conscience, a conscience full of the best and the clearest light.
