. First principles and perfection; . undof monotonous ecstasy, nor yet in the idlenessof dreamy inactivity, but such a life as the greatmind and heart of Paul would love to lead; BEHOLD THE PERFECT MAN, 283 such a life as Luther and Wesley and AlexanderCampbell would find congenial to their sancti-fied tastes and noblest powers; a life truer,loftier, more glorious and blessed than humanheart has ever conceived; a life, therefore,worthy of all sacrifices and all perseverance toattain.
