All our blessings are destined to come to us by the use of proper means;and this general principle applies both to temporal and spiritualmatters. Now "the use of means, " is only another mode of expressing "thepractical appl...ication of knowledge. " And if so, what are we to think ofthe philosophy or the candour of the person, who is apparently thefriend of education, but who remains indifferent or hostile to the thingitself, merely because it is presented to him under another name. He maybe a zealous advocate for the spread of knowledge;--but that is noteducation. --Knowledge is but the _means_, --the application of it is the_end_; and when therefore he stops short at the communication ofknowledge, while he is indifferent to the teaching of its use, heendangers the whole of his previous labour.
