geniuses, whether in the pulpit, or the 
platform or the stage, generally suc- 
ceed in imitating chiefly their foibles 
and defects. 
It is significant that in mathematics 
a straight line is a right line; right, 
ousnesss never seeks its end by any 
crooked means ; indirection is nearly 
allied to insincerity and untruthful- 
ness. 
If we open the windows of our 
souls, divine thoughts will be very 
likely to come in and bless us with 
their presence. 
The drunkard often deserves our 
pity as well as our blame; but the 
drunkard-maker should be made to 
feel that he cannot rise to the height 
of our disdain. 
There have been good and just 
rulers in the worst times ; “good man 
he was, and muckle awe was of him ; 
durst no man mis-do with other in his 
time ; great peace he made for man 
and deer.” There is great need of 
such men at all times, to prevent good 
times from becoming bad, and bad 
times from becoming worse. 
Superficiality and irreverence are 
nearly related, they are two great 
evils of our age, they affect our reli- 
gion as well as our morality and our 
manners. 
Faith is intimately connected with 
character, some men’s faith is worth 
very little, that of others is worth a 
great deal. “Better is a little that a 
righteous man hath, than the riches 
of many wicked.” 
Vacation may be the most profit- 
able or the most profitless time of the 
year. 
No good, but only evil, has come 
from divorceing religion and morality ; 
what God has joined together man 1s 
not to put asunder. 
There is in man a wonderful adjust- 
ment to the world around him ; it is 
conceivable that the sense of hearing

might have been so acute that we 
could not only hear the grass grow, 
but that the silence of the forest 
would be like the roar of the city ; in 
this case, how much greater would be 
the increase of painful than of 
pleasurable sensations. 
However mere speculative views 
may suffice for certain philosphers, 
experience shows that morality must 
rest upon some basis of authority for 
the majority of mankind. 
Science and Scripture can never be 
at variance with each other, however 
they may at times appear to be so.

We may err in our interpretation of 
Science or of Scripture, or of both; 
but there can be no want of harmony 
between the works and the word of 
God. 
Revelation may transcend Reason, 
but it is never in conflict with it. 
Reason cannot discover religious 
truth, but it can recognize it when 
made known. And no truth can be 
received by us which is unreasonable ; 
only we must remember that what 
is above reason is of necessity against 
reason.
