Keys, in Millheim. appears to have been too much for the comprehension of the learned crit ic who passes hi* judgment to the public through the columns of the .' lt| was my good fortune to have attended it and heard it for the second lime from th- Hr. Having the pleasure of a close per sonal acquaintance with him. he told me that he simplified his language as much a potaible, in order to ni. et the wants ot hi auditere And yet. he appears to have been misunderstood. 1 will endeavor to explain the Doctor's meaning, not using l bis language, of course, but in more ordi-; nary every day terms. Purpose bears the same relation to nat ural talent or genius that the locomotive bears to a train of cars; it is the propelling power which leads a man's talent or geni us on to success. A man does not rr ju rt to be a Columbus or a Napolean to be a, great man What is termed accident, 5 sometimes flout* a man to the surface '' r instance. Gen'Uiraiit, Andy Johnson, and f | a host of other* who might be mentioned : but this cla*s of inoti are not necessarily great men, In the true sen** of the word., There are plenty of men in private Rfei \ their peers in education, refinemeat and ability, who are truly great men. A mas., is a great man when he is true to his God. to himself and to his fellow men ; true to his feelings of humanity, henestv, liberal ity, integrity and ail that constitutes a higher, a better, a nobUc life; when h. t sets hit mark high in the great -A*U of tbei Creator, and pushes forward with a net purpose to tha accomplishment of noble designs. Dr Keys never meant to be ua,lersto> J * that an Artist, by power of purpose, might have made a good w,.od cutler : or that a Sculptor, by power of purpose, could be transformed into a successful Lawyer lie s meant Just what the parable of the Ta.ents mean, in Scripture, at taught by Jesus— that God has given to us talrnts. * he'.her small or great, and that he will hold us re- -■ sponsible tor the use we make of th >te tal- I ents He meant to U* u* what Purpose j has dor.! by applying it to u.e clanf* man.
