which halt not yet found any place in the world's market fit for thee; any wares which thou couldst buy or sell, --- so large is thy love and ambition, --thine and not theirs is the hour. Smooth thy brow, and hope and love on, for the kind Heaven justifies thee, and the whole world feels that thou art in the right.
We ought to celebrate this hour by expressions of manly joy. Not thanks, not prayer seem quite the highest or truest name for our communication with the infinite, --- but glad and conspiring reception, --- reception that becomes giving in its turn, as the receiver is only the All-Giver in part and in infancy. I cannot, --- nor can any man, --- speak precisely of things so sublime, but it seems to me the wit of man, his strength, his grace, his tendency, his art, is the grace and the presence of God. It is beyond explanation. When all is said and clone, the rapt saint is found the only logician. Not exhortation, not argument becomes our lips, but paeans of joy and praise. But not of adulation: we are too nearly related in the deep of the mind to that we honor. It is God in us which checks the language of petition by a grander thought. In the bottom of the heart it is said; ' I am, and by me, 0 child! this fair body and world of thine stands and grows. I am; all things are mine: and all mine are thine.'
