Sir James Mackintosh, when at Paris
paid visit to the deaf and dumb insti-
tuition there. The Abbe Sicard intro
duced several of his pupils to him, to one
of whom, Massien, at Sir Us request
the following question was submitted
Is Doth God reason ?" NJ. on seeing
the question written, at first appeared
|perplexed, but soon after returned this
decisive and logical solution; God
sees every thing God Jforesees every
thing God knows every thing! TIC
reason is to doubt. to hesitate to en-
'quire the highest attribute of limited
intelligence: God, therefore, does not
reason"
The able when here short time since
with Massien, was met at the custom
house by gentleman acquainted with
the anecdote above related, and who
begged of him again to propound the same
gu, stion to his pupil, which he politely
did, and the answer returned was, :" Men
reason but in order to find truth God
who knows truth, is no. in want Of rea.
son."
