raencement,
its
progress,
and
its
terminus.
The
more
we
advance
towards
the
terminus,
the
farther
we
go
from
the
commencement;
and
it
is
impossible
to
reach
the
terminus
but
by
constantly
going
farther
from
the
starting-point,
being
unable
to
go
from
one
place
to
another
without
passing
through
all
that
comes
between
them
:
this
is
incontestable.
Oh,
how
blind
are
the
majority
of
men,
who
pride
themselves
upon
their
learning
and
talent
!
O
Lord
!
how
true
it
is
that
Thou
hast
hidden
Thy
secrets
from
the
wise
and
prudent,
and
hast
revealed
them
unto
babes
!
