INTELLEcrrAL pRInE

"Theie is nothing which so perverts the
neart' as intellectual pride. The calamites
which have most afflicted and dcbused our race
nave sprung from abuse of the free and gifted
intellect In the perversity of corrupt will,
and the exeesses Of presumptuous understand
ing lnfn has abused the pos ers entrusted to
nm Tor high and holy purposes. Tco often, the
extent ol human kaowledge, is the measure of
human crime. As If TO impress indelibly upop
the sou OF man, the terrible consequences Of
presumptucus intellect, Jealous Deity has en-.
forced the lesson with special revelations. He
has not only bestowedlupon us the Godlike cap
acity OF reason, to collect and compare the fruits
Of experience, in the ages which have been ga
thered to the past, but He has suspended the
arm Of the Oherubim, that we might enter the
forbidden paths of paradise, to read, beneath
the tree of knowledge, the price Of disobedience.
And he has unbarred the gatesof Heaven itself,
that IN the fall of the angelic hosts, we might
tremble at the instant and irremediable ruin
which followed the single sin of thought. One
truth ve therefore know that, unaccompanied
with an upright heart, chSstened will with the
morality that springs from religion, the meas.
ure OF mans intellect is the measure Of his ruin.
The pride Of wealth inspires contempt, aud the
pride oil place awakens resentment. They are
human fo'lies, and are punished by human nsea.
snres bat the pride of intellect wherein the
gifted wars with the GiUer is crime which
the dread Creaor'has resei we'd for speciol rctri
bution.-- Lieut.. Lynch's Dead Sea.
