1 We have thus far considered the cost of The
a house which we propose to build. Now let Us
well contemplate the structure about to he
, erected with such a great expenditure Of time
t arduous labor aud self denial: lot us carefully
examine the architects plans from foundation
to tuiret and then if you think the contract
price LOO lArRe, you nuu better Wltnuraw from
the enterprise, before the work is actually
commenced and not wait until the house is
partially constructed, When, becoming dis.
heartoned, you abandon the undertaking, with
nothing to show for your time, labor and
money. During your privilege of the next
two or three years you will carefully study the
grandest of Gods creatures-man physically
and intellectually, You will learn how beau.
tifully he is constructed and how systematl.
cnlly all his parts are arranged to perform the
duties for which they were created.
The bones which constitute the frame work
are designed with q skill and q knowledge of
mechanics which for ages have commanded
admiration. and to-day, the engineer, who
plans an iron bridge, over which the heavily
t%reighted train passes with lightning speed,
has awaited himsely of the lessons taught by
tho peculiar construction of the bones in de.
signiog the trusses which must bear this great
weight without DETECTION, and not be of such
ponderosity that the structure will fall by its
own weight. They like the bones must poss-
ess the greatest strength of the material out OF
with they are made, combined with the least
weight. In the dissecting room you will trace
out the muscles from origin to insertion and
by contemplating their size, direction and
shape IN connection with the
movements which they are intended to pro.
produce you will see how admirable is the ar
rangement. The biceps and deltior he
contraction of which the smith raises his
pondrous hammer are large and powerful and, |
so arrange, that by working in direct lines
between origin and insertion, NO force is lost
by friction, while the stapedius, by the action
of which the ossicles are drawn in closer con.
tact with the inner ear, is SO minute that it
can be barely seen with the unaided eye. |
You will have obtained a knowledge of the
process OF digestion, caloriication, ~circula-
tion and respiration; the wonderful workings
of the nervous system and the unexplained

In other words you will have mastered the
subject of the physical construction of man
and the functions of his different organs. But
III these respects man does not differ from auy
other animal, and if the study is farther pur-
sued with comparative anatomy and
in developement if body and
perfection of function many of the brute
creatures far excel the human being.
But if the over order of Gods creatures
surpass man in acuteness of the special senses,
as of vision, and hearing and perception of odors
and in strength of bone and muscles, 1t is for
the single reason these higher. developments of
this body are required by these animals to sus-
tain their lives and protect their species from
determination under the conditions with
which they are surrounded, and man is infer
Tor for the reason, that with his higher intel
lectual possessions and the environment in
which he lives, moves and has his being he is
"hoiiy ucpChubub upon MS INDIVIDUALLY l
powers for support and protection.
But when we study man as an intellectual!
being, do we learn how vastly superior he is
TO every living creature. The mind the soul
of man., makes him master of every
thing on the face of the earth. He thus In
himself has no need of the olfactions of the
hound the eye of the eagle,
and the muscles Of the OK. To follow this
farther, we find that high develop
ment of the mind, not only makes man lord
of the brutes and places at his disposal all
of nature, but by the greater power and
grasp of will, it renders the individual superior
to his ~fellowmen. No development of
muscles, nor massive frame is of avail in
solution of which the destinies of q nation
But it is this strength of mind
rules in the halls of Legislature, on the
in the courts of justice and in the :
chamber. Mates has very truth
fully said: 6
"Were I so large T could reach the pole ,
And grasp the ocean in q span,
| must be measured by my soul,
The minds the standard of the man."
In your studies during your s%ojourn with
four Alma Mater, you will learn that man is
not at all times a proud Sbelng, possessed of ? 4
beautiful body and knightly soul, born to rule Z
with %undisputed sway the myriad of creatures
with which God has filed the earth, and to
command the tightening and winds of heaven !
to do his bidding, bu- you will see him and
study him when he is sick, AMI q meaner, !
more selfish and.more contemplate ,
thing does not exist than a sick man. We !
read how tho great Cseser shook when he had !
The fever in Spaiu, wept like a girl, aud blub- .
bered like q BOBBY for n dinR of wafer, and !
