INTELLECTUAL EXCITEMENT.
The MODEST. grsudest, most sublime and
perfect of al Gods creation is the human
intellect. This distinguishing feature places
man as high above all other created beings
IA God il above man. Among all this crea-
ton there is nothing which so forcibly shows
Gods wisdom and power. In this respect
Ee made us like unto Himself, capable of
understanding and sppreciating His own di-
vine thoughts.
This iatellect possesses various fac
Mites. We have faculties for peceiving.
faculties for remembering and faculties Tor
reasoning. BY the proper or improper exsr
else of these faculties msn may make his
mind great or small, and it is only blythe
hardest study that great men
have attained such noble results.
The intellect is never satisfied in dormant
sts,e, At nil periods of the worlds history,
there have been kept up either na,iona! or
local co.Dmotlon by which the mino mas peeh

The ancient Chsldesn shepherds kept the
lamn of intelligence bright by their inter
course with the stare. The homes of these
sbepherds we're the plains where On their
aocks were psstured, and with no compan-
ions but t cir ,cks aud the twirkiDg stars
that shone down upon them, they naturally
turned To one of these for intellectual en-
Mo, ment. The stars presented more mystery
and we're therefore chosen as field IN which
the intellect should work. They threw their
whole souls into this work, and deep in
The depths of those OF shinir e
stars, they saw pictured the history "a
future DAYS, saw what .icissltudes and what
lows should befall them in their lifetime, and
what fate awaited their nation after tneir
death. The Egyptians had not imagination
enough TO picture to themselves data for
the future history of their country, nor did
they care for the exc tements of government.
Tbeey therefore turned their attention to
something more practical, namely, architec-
ture and the consequences are some OF the
noblest remains of human workmanship
Philosophy and poetry together with nation.

the fiery Greeks.
Intellectual excitements of modern
times have, perhaps, been
more vehement than anciently,
but they areS at so long Ia duration. All
the great m of the world were turned
topsy-turvy wnen the obscure monk, Msrt'n
Lu,her, came forth from the convent OF
S.. Augustine with tho aVoVed purpose OF
abolishing monasticism 10 Europe ard res

and the apostles, which for SO long time
had been kept down by the pope and his
followers. Not q Inan, woman or child
but was excited to the very last degree, and
the result wss that christian churches, the
first since Chrisrs death, were founded IN
various places which have been constantly
