ZEAL urrLENEss or MAN
ydney Smith Could Sec No Reason
for Him to Revel In His
Greatness.

Take some quiet, sober moment Of
life and add together the two ideas
If pride and of man behold him, a
creature of a span high, stalking
through infinite space in all the
grandeur of littleness. Perched on
little speck of the universe, every
wind of heaven strikes into his blood
the GOODNESS of death; his soul fleets
from his body, like melody from the
string; day and night, as dust on
the wheel, he is rolled along the
heavens, through a labyrinth of
worlds, and all the systems and Gre
atoms of God are flaming above and
beneath.
IL this q creature to revel in his
greatness? Is this a creature to
make to himself crown of glory, to
deny his own flesh and blood and to
mock at his fellow, sprung from that
dust TO which they both will soon
return? Does the proud man not
err? Does he not suffer? Does he
not die9 When he reasons, is he
never stopped by difficulties? When
he acts, is he never tempted by
pleasures? When he lives, is he
free from pain? When he dies, can
he escape from the common grave?
Pride is not the heritage Of man;
humility should dwell with frailtv
and atone for ignorance, error and
imEerfcction.-Sydney Smith.
