Indeed it lies at the bais of all moral improvement, intellectual advancement, or social progress. Iu spite of all the cavils of the infidel he is bound to asume it t the very basis of his doubts; and be builds upon the very principles which be oppugns. From a well grounded faith, virtue (or courage as the speaker defined il.) springs as a natural aud legitimate result This courage, be di-liugui-hed from that false type ; that mere auiniu! excitement, which supports the duelist aud warrior ou the Sel l of blood.
