A Cic. (le Off. Iii. 3?. 34 IMPORTANCE OP THE STUDY tion in M^hich we can contemplate the Deity :" says the In- dian-Chinese book Sticheiilhchan^king * " When the true light of God enters, then is the sense of self-annihilation so great, that knowledge also ceases :" is the doctrine of the Nyaya sect. * Thus it appears that self-annihilation, for the sake of God, was a doctrine of the speculative East. This doctrine is unfruitful in the practical benefits of life. Still a deeper meaning lies in... these doctrines than in those of the Grecian voluptuousness. Another christian virtue, which is found in its elementary state in the Jewish religion, is Faith — a virtue utterly un- known to the pagan world. Faith, in the christian sense, is "a firm belief and clear anticipation of a more exalted stage of existence, into which we enter through a preparation of heart, although its nature cannot be fully comprehended by us. Inasmuch as we carry about with us, in the interior of our heart, the image and the seed of a more exalted exist- ence, as strangers and pilgrims in the world in which we live, we can, from this very circumstance, be satisfied within ourselves, of the reality of the light which beams to us from that higher stage of existence, and feel within ourselves the truth of the more exalted life which is destined for us.
