    While regarding with shame all pride of intellect, and _ with fear the presumption of ignorance, I deeply feel that the truest humility is evinced by those who most simply accept and use the talents placed in their hands ; and that the most childlike dependence upon the Creator appears in those who fearlessly apply the know- ledge he discloses to the furtherance of that great con- secrated object, the welfare of the family of man. Harriet MARTINEAU. THE END.
