But this by no means supposes that stimulus is unnecessary. I grant, at once, that the intellect- ual motive for study is the love of knowledge ; and the moral motive, the desire to serve God in the way which his Providence has marked out for us. But God has seen fit in the constitution under which he has placed us to set before us collateral advantages which shall quicken our efforts, and present additional motives to exertion. Thus he has told us that knowledge wnll increase our pow- er. "A w...ise man is strong, yea, a man of under- standing increases strength." He has set before us the good opinion of our fellow men as a motive to exertion. " A good name is better than riches." He has told us that diligence leads to eminence. " Seest thou a man diligent in busi- ness, he shall stand before kings, he shall not stand before mean men." And all this we see verified in actual life. When the youth grows up to manhood, all these consequences are vividly spread out before him, and produce their full effect, for he is now capable of appreciating them.
