"Knowledge and wisdom, far from being one, Have oft-times no connection.... Knowledge, a rude unprofitable mass, The mere material with which wisdom builds, Till smoothed and squared and fitted to its place, Does but encumber whom it seems to enrich."

Lecture II, page 28.

" That He was God before the world was created, and the same God that He was after it was created.

" That He is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, abundant in goodness, and that He was so from everlasting, and will be to everlasting.

" That He changes not, neither is there variableness with Him; but that He is the same from everlasting to everlasting, being the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever; and that His course is one eternal round, without variation.

" That He is a God of truth and cannot lie.

" That He is no respecter of persons; but in every nation he that fears God and works righteousness is accepted of Him.

" That He is love."

Doc. and Cov., Lectures on Faith, iii, 13-18.

"That in all ages Every human heart is human; That in even savage bosoms There are longings, yearnings, strivings, For the good they comprehend not. That the feeble hands and helpless, Groping blindly in the darkness, Trust God's right hand in that darkness, And are lifted up and strengthened."

Longfellow.

The heathen's faith may be imperfect and weak, for his ability to recognize the evidence upon which belief in God depends may be small. While the first promptings of faith toward God may be the result of natural intuition,--a faint echo of the songs of praise which were so common during the state of primeval childhood,--the later development will be largely the result of unprejudiced and prayerful investigation and search for truth.
