And just one word to those who aspire, (and all _should_ aspire,) to University honours. You will not find what I have been recommending any hindrance to you at all. But even supposing you _do_, now and then, find the inexorable daily half-hour stand in the way of something else,--shall not the very thought of Him whose Voice you have deliberately resolved to hear daily at that fixed time, make you full amends? Shall you resolve to pluck so freely of the Tree of Knowledge, and yet begrudge the approach once a day to the _Tree of Life_, which grows in the midst of the Paradise of GOD? Shall ample time be found for works of fiction,--for the Review, and the Magazine, and the newspaper,--yet half an hour a day be deemed too much to be given to the Word of GOD? What? room for everything and everybody; yet still "no room in the Inn" for _CHRIST_!... I have, (I speak honestly,) I have far too high an opinion of your instincts for good, to think it possible. You have plenty of faults,--(_God_ knoweth!),--but I am very much deceived indeed if there be not a spirit stirring among the young men of this place, overflowing with promise; a real inclination, (obscured at times, but still very energetic,) for whatever things are pure, and lovely, and of good report. Of course, it is implied by what goes before, that you will read _no_ work _of Divinity_ just at present. Be counselled, on no account, to read any. Above all, shun the partial, ill-digested pamphlet,--and the one-sided review,--and the controversial letter,--and the Essay which seems to have been written in order to prove nothing. Be content, for the next three years, to study no book of Divinity but the Bible.
