new experience which lneN OfiHR.
That life Is likely to go to seed
which never takes to hut one STYLE
of thinking. Some people are of a
strongly intellectual cast, and can
not get along without new ideas.
They may perhaps avoid the emo
tional and condemn it. After
having long enough grounded
themselves in sound thinking, it
would be we'll for them. and make |
them much richer. If they could |
add gradually and honestly to!
themselves true element of feel
ing.
Then there is the man who has
no interest in new Idea or Il new
way of putting An old truth, who
is content to keep things as they
have been snid once for all, aud
who cares only to have them said
over to him with good deal of
feeling from time to time. He Is
very apt to criticize what is intel
lectual as if it were almost irreli-
gious, forgetul that the church
that Is not grounded on strong
rational basis on which it may
meet the best minds will never he
forward and powerful church.
For him it would oe we'll TO add to
ris loving God with his feelings
the loving God with his mind, and
10 add an intellectual interest to
his emotional interest in the Cos
pei. He will he able to keep all
that is good in his own tempera-
men,, but il will be strengthened
and hracrd by the new sympathy;
he will be a larger man.
There is the man who is of an
ethetical turn Of mind, fr whom
the fundamental duties and obi
cations of tie soul seem to be
written within the soul itself, md
who is impatient of any one who
insists on representing them as u
matter of revelation. He does not
like what is biblical; it IS too far
off. and the reference to the Bible
for the authority regarding dnty
and truth j. irritating. He would
be a larger man. and have a richer
