ATTAINABLE ULTIMATE RESULT. 41 



member that there is a susceptibility of incessant ele- 

 vation in the human character, enabling us to pass 

 from the animal man to the rational man, from the 

 rational to the intellectual man, from the intellectual to 

 the spiritual man transformed into the Divine Image, 

 and soaring to joys unutterable. And rest not, there- 

 fore, till you acquire a capacity of rising spontaneously 

 from the contemplation of the sublime in matter, to that 

 of THE SUBLIMEST in mind ; to that of the SUPREME 

 REALITY, who comprehends all which he has made, and 

 infinitely more than what as yet delights and interests 

 us, within the scope of one grand administration ; to 

 Him whose ineffable character "gathers splendour from 

 all that is fair, subordinates to itself all that is great, 

 and sits enthroned on the riches of the universe." 



And now, Gentlemen, with the most gratifying retro- 

 spect of the deferential and almost filial attention with 

 which you have uniformly listened to my instructions, I 

 cordially bid you farewell. May your career be long, 

 untarnished, honourable, prosperous, and happy ! 



THE END.
