Thought, intelligence, is the dignity of a man, and no man is rising but in proportion as he is learning to think clearly and forcibly, or directing the energy of his mind to the acquisition of truth. Every man, in whatsoever condition, is to be a student. No matter what other vocation he may have, his chief vocation is to Think. FREE INQUIRY. It is sometimes said, that the multitude may think on the common business of life, but not on higher subjects, and especially on religion. This it is sai...d, must be received on authority ; on this, men in general can form no judgment of their own. But this is the last subject on which the individual should be willing to surrender himself to others' dictation. In nothing has he so strong an interest. In nothing is it so important that his mind and heart should be alive and engaged. In nothing has he readier means of judging for himself In nothing, as history shows, is he more likely to be led astray by such as assume the office of thinking for him.
