The intellect in its entire operations is very much under the influence of the sensibilities. The head is affected by the heart, and if the one be wrong in its affections, so will be the other in its perceptions. Doing- right, is absolutely necessary to knowing right; and hence the Saviour says, " If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, " thus placing doing before knowing ; whereas men, especially in religious matters, are very prone to invert the process and so excuse their... errors on the ground ^ of their ignorance. 200 ^^^N ^^^ SALVATION. Sin, therefore, dims the intellectual percep- tion to the beauty of holiness. The Bible speaks of sinners as " having the understand- ing darkened. " Not that they lose all appre- ciation of moral beauty, for God has so made man, that he can not. He must always, in the deepest depth of pollution, admire goodness, and realize the experience of Milton's fallen Spirit, — " abashed the Devil stood, And felt how awful goodness is. " Still the " beauty of holiness " fails to kindle such admiration as it awakens in the bosom of a sinless being.
