"The world now is all for the spread of knowledge: and I should be the
last to demur. But knowledge has an ardent impetuosity, which in its
present immature condition may be fraught with many perils. Knowledge by
itself, so far from being of necessity heavenly, may even become devilish
in its selfish violence. Everything depends upon its being held in due
subordination to those higher elements in our nature which go to make
wisdom. Would that the ideal aim of our education were to produce such
as he was, in whom every increase in intellectual ability was accompanied
by the growth of some finer grace of the spirit."--_Arthur W. Robinson_.
4. HER PILLARS. "Wisdom hath builded her house, she hath hewn out her
seven pillars."--_Proverbs_ 9: 1.
