Care must be taken lest the consideration of this topic become nothing more than a literary inquiry. May writer and reader each seek wisdom from above, that the materials which are so plentiful be weighed in the balances of God's holy presence 1 " He giveth to all men liberally and upbraideth not;" and amongst His precious gifts, suited to man's present condition, is the faculty whereby our senses are exercised to discern between good and evil of every kind. Human attainment cannot avail us in the absence of sobriety of mind or humility of spirit.
