Society itself is a system of checks against it; a standing protest in behalf of sympathy and benevolence. With every suitable inducement to stand, man had fallen. Nor, fourthly, is the science of human nature less based on a fundamental idea than are the sciences of external nature. And then, in the infinite complication of adjustments necessary to attain this end, for every being of every other order, as well as for man, we are pointed to the ultimate reason of the whole the manifestation of Divine Perfection. in the account of the four or live hundred years from Joshua to David there is not the remotest allusion to the sabbath ; no mention is made from the birth of Seth till the flood (a period tramadol withdrawal from of, at least, fifteen hundred years) of sacrifice ; and during the eight hundred years from Joshua to Jeremiah, the rite of cir- cumcision is not named. 21, From the constitution of things.

As an intellectual being, all nature acts on him tramadol withdrawal from as if it were a system of contrivances for the special design of engaging his attention, and educating his mind. As every man begins each period and each day of his own life under new circumstances, so each member of the race begins and prose- cutes life itself under circumstances distinguishable from those of every other. Or if the materialist, repudiating the theory of a plurality of organs, regards the entire brain as a single organ, of which thought is the function, the same question returns in a slightly altered form what can that power be which, withholding the property of thought from every separate particle of die brain, imparts it to the whole ; and which, not- withstanding the greatest diversity among the sensations them- selves, imparts unity to the whole ? As a part of nature, he has to do only with the phenomena of nature with things as they seem ; but if, as a reflective, subjective mind, he is to know these in their highest or scientific forms, he must be able to conceive of them in their primary conditions. 27 degraded Bushmen, while the aboriginal Australian is not inca- pable of European cultivation. Character is the slow and conscious product of man's voluntary nature. And here, again, we behold an arrangement immeasurably exceeding all that equity could have required, and calculated to astonish by its goodness. The form and arrangement of * Quoted in Prof. " A creation devoid of regulated activity would be no manifestation of an ever-living and ever-active Creator. inconceivable. According to the laws of gravitation, the feather acts on the globe, as well as the globe on the feather ; so, in the intellectual world, there is nothing so insignificant as not to possess some property which represents a Divine perfection, and whose office it is not therefore to move the mind according to the value of that property in the general scale of things. 5, REASON OF THE METHOD. Even the limited adaptive power which it unknowingly exhibits is only the slightly diversified application and perseverance of instinct in gaining its own great end. Prior to that event, the so-called laws of nature were mere modes of Divine operation, known only to the mind of the Creator. And, as a third consequence, this change of character, and of relation to the Divine government, involved a corres- ponding change of condition. He is seen unfolding the parts of which it consists. of Nature, he can only refer their origination to a Supreme Will. An attempt is then made to answer the question, by say- ing, that as moral excellence cannot exist without free will, nor free will without the capability of evil as well as of good, the creation of a moral agent necessarily supposes the possibility of evil. 95 a disposition to relieve or to ameliorate its condition. To require a reason for the possibility of the belief, beyond the fact of its reality as given in the con- sciousness, is to attempt to ascertain what precedes the first, or " what supports the foundation.
