It is then Armed; that c'3tie of the
neat' itinisterial., qualifications is ;. religious
curioSity. By this rather unusual phrase,
the Professor mearts-:,
"A desire to, know truths and fleets which
bear directly on things 'and. ends spiritual

The third qUarifieation brought under

the lecturer says : ' '
"`True 'piety alone awakens and'regulates
that principle o ,curiosity just considered.
"True piety imparts an ability to finder

"It is easy to Say that none of these
things should distress the heart, of ari am

some of them, the heart of a greater than
