hw exceptions, live IN daily violation even of
those laws of life we now understand-what profit
IN teaching us others We need first virtue to
live up to the light we now have. Instead of
this, if we are induced to hear some new teacher
on this subject, we forget that great part of his
DISCOURSE which we know to be true and deserv-
ing our regard, and run our thick heads against
some pitiful quiddity about saw-dust bread no
meat or the like, and throw the whole subject
oYerboard. The mischief is that our appetltes
govern our understandings. and we don't want
10 be convinced of the hurtfulness Of that which
our depraved tastes incline to- So we push on
in the old way until brought up by fever an
endemic, or a consumption, and then betake our
selves to physic, mercury, and the graveyard
So roes the world, and so is it bent on going
Yet we shall try to hear this DR.. Banning if he
comes among us.
METHODIST Quarterly REVIEW. GEORGE PEcK, DID.
Editor N. Y. Conference Office
The October number of this Review contains
several interesting articles. The first is a long
review Of two discourses delivered in Baltimore,
BY Bishop Whittingham, on The Priesthood in
the Church, the second, 'The Philosophy of
Rhetoric;' the third is an able essay on Pulpit
Eouuence' School and the Schoolmaster' is
the occasion of one of the most beautiful essays
on education we have read in long time. There
is truthfulness, and quiet carnestness in it that
is really charming. We should be glad to see it
published in some cheap form, to give it wider
circulation; for strange as it may seem, there is
nothing on which the public mind needs cnlght-
ening mere than on this single subject We
feel the need of education, and active in fur
nshing the means of it to all. But our schools |
and colleges are TOO much like patent, intellect
ual machines, into which every class of mind is
cast alike to come out boltcd, intellectual flour.
Thepeculiar character ofeach cunningly wrought
mind in it's infancy-the nice adaptation Of means
we possess to bring out and strengthen the best
powers and quell the worst arc very little under
stood. Every parent knows very soon whether
its child has weak eye, or deformed limb, but
passes through life without ever noticing It's more
serious mental and moral defects.
