ANY MAN NAY BE AS LEARNED AS HE
PLEASES

Professor.-Yes; you may lay it down as a
principle confirmed by universal experience,
that you can understand any truth, however
complex, provided You have sufficient patience.
Student. What Do you say it is possible
for me to understand any truth, however diff
cult
Prof. Yes; provided you have the patience.
Stu. You surprise me, indeed; / wish /
could think SO OF myself.
P. You may think SO, and believe ii; for
this reason, that the most complex truth is on
ly number of simple truths combined.
S. Then, you mean, if l understand the
simple truths which make up complex one,
can also understand the complex one
P. Decidedly; provided you have the pa
tience.
S. But surely complex truths are more diff
icult to understand than simple ones7
P. Of course; but the more complex they
are, you are only to have the more patience,
and your efforts will be crowned with success.
S. 1 see, il is of great importance to have
patience.
p. Yes of the utmost importance. Sir l.
saac Newton once said, that if he had done
anything in science worthy of notice it was
owing to patient industry of thinking, rather
than to superior genius.
s. But what profound philosopher Sir l.
saac Newton was7 He could understand any
thing.
P. He could have understood scarcely any
thing, had ne not had patience in high de-
gree.
S. If then man had the patience of New
ton, might he be as great as Newton!
P. That does not exactly follow but he
might in time, accomplish great things.
S. Then, may 1 expect to master my pres
ent studies, if give all attention, and be pa.
tient and persevering?
P. You may; and with perfect confidence
of complete success.
S. Can you suggest any rule as to how !
should study
P. AS general rule, do as Newton did
"I keep said he, ''the subject constantly be-
fore me, and wait till the first dawnings open
slowly, by little and little, into full and clear
light.'' LoaED.
