Men of one Idea

Those who have filed the largest
space in the eyes of the world, and
who have achieved the most signal
results, have been actuatcd by some
m~aster-passion. Their souls were occu-
pied with one great purpose, which
~subordiuated everything else to itself.
They were, in a certain sense, men
"of one idea" For although their
capacions souls contained many ideas,
yet a single aim directed, controlled,
and animated the whole inner man
welding on the hcart-throne an I'M
disputed scepter.
In our day Kossuth and Caribaldi
are men of one idea. The first-namcd
hero-orator lives, dreams. thinks, prays,
and plans for poor, despoiled Hunga-
ry. The lost crown of Maria Theresa
fills his waking thoughts, and haunts
the troubled visions of his slccplcss
nights. In that one cver-burning pas
sion of his soul lay the secret of his
unparalleled eloquence. A mighty
nation spakc through his lips, and the
voice awokc the world. Garibaldi is
simply an embodied HoIy. The man
whose intellectual powers attracted
40 atf,,t,ny o., him .rhn. n Ibp,ll,
| ship-master, or when a traflickcr Oh
! Staten Island, becomes the ]cynosurc
of the age, when his heart is fired by
a transcendcnt purpose to redeem his
native land from bondage.
Human biography is, in the main,
the record book of master passions.
The one idea with Newton, prince of
Christian philosophers, was science.
The most colossal intellect of that
age was given up to charts, to dia-
grams and to telescopes !; and the
trophies thus hardly won were humb-
ly laid at the foot of his R]cdcemcr's
cross. So absorbing was his passion
that he often stopped, when half
dressed in the morning, to solve some
problem that was agitating his mind,
and his servant was obliged to rouse
him from his reveric in order to par
take of his meals. For him to live
was science. He glorifed God with
his telescope.
We have a beautiful illustration of
the power of one mind when directed
to a single object in the achievements
of Mary Lyon-frst of American
heroincs. New England has produced
a host of noble women !; many of her
daughters have done %virtuously but
bravc-hearted teacher of Mount IIol-
yoke, "tllou exccllcst them all !" 9th
cr women have written tasteful poems,
and graceful sketches, and useful re-
ligious essays, but Mary Lyons life

eighteen hours out of the twcnty-four
in order to fit herself for the exalted
station of teacher-who gave her
whole self to the grand enterprise of
founding an institution equal to the
educational wants of her sex-who
begged for that institution from door
to door-who wrapped herself in a
buflalo-robe and rode through freezing
winter nights to consult distant
friends in regard to it-who refused
all tempting offers of marriage in or
der to live angIy for her great work
and who at last nodded and controlled
with consummate wisdom the long
toiled for Scminary-that woman was
a heroine What pastor in New
England has trained more souls for
eternity than she? Who of them has
more spiritual children in heaven?
