MAZZTNI'S PHILOSOPHY.

life ir false, and leads all who accept II astray.
Religion, science, philosophy, though at II at va
rance upon manV points; all agree in this, that
every existence Is an Aim. were it not so. OF
what avail were the movement, the Progress.
which all are beginning to recognize as the Law
or life. And that q m is one : to deveope and
bring into action al the facntiss which consli-
tute and lie dormant in human na'ure-Humant-
ty.--nd Cause them tremendously to com ine
towards the discovery and application Of that
law.
Bnt individuals. according to the time and space
in which they live, have various secondary aims,
all under the direction Of and governed by that
one supreme ard permanent aim and all tend
ISOLATION Of the collective f,culties and forces.
For one mAR, this secondary aim may be to aid
in the moral and INTEL ectual i'm orovement Of the
few Immediately around him another gifted
with superior faculties or placed in more favora-
ble circumstances. the secondary aim is to pro-
mote the form tinu of Nationality to reform. the
social condition ola people to solve political
or religious question.
Our own Dante understood this, when. more
than Ave centuries ago. he poke OF the great Sea
of Being upon which all existence were led by
power divine towards differerrnt ports. Mankind
10 you rgsyet, both in knowledge and power, and
tremendous uncertainty still hangs over the de.
termination OF the special aims TO which we are
bound to devote ourseIves.--JOseph Mustn't.
