Bigols in religion do more injury TO the cause Of
God than all Jhe in6dels that ever lived.

To Judge correctly Ola mans actions, we must
clearly understand the motives that compelled him
to net aud The circumstances by which those actions
were uodlfed. How often do we hear people say,
If I had been in that mans place ! should have
acted thus and so. But men ARE not so dssiI'lar
Circuustanced alike, they act nearly alike, and
the very errors we condemn in our neishbors we
should have committed ourselves had we been
placed in their circumstances.
A nmn who knows little Of himself, Of his real
life. is uniformly intol|erant, opinionated. Self
knowledge the Sc nuton teaches us,he best and The

ircacherous and decciful u the human hearI; huw
often and how sransly we are frequently mis-
led, aud above all. how much we depend upon
