Show A Devout Man. .v devout man does his any better flian another, because he cs Ms position po-sition more completely; t'nzes over the wide field of his relate ns visible ami invisible; exaggerates nothing from its proximity, and overlooks nothing from its distance; but, with j the clear sense of moral proportion, j receives from all the true impression. I and gives lo all the fit affection. He j does not render his mental view false t liy ignoring the whole region that lies beyond experience, nnd treating it as if it had no existence; or fever his passions nnd fret away his peace by imprisoning the whole energies of his nature within some narrow object a section only of the life which they are qualified to fill. It is because his mind is right that his hand does : right. James Martlneau. |
