About This Item

MP3 Audio CD. LECTURE I. ON THE NATURE OF MAN.



"What is man that thou shouldst magnify him ? or why shouldst thou set thy heart upon him ? "



Job vii. 17. THE world repeats the saying of the poet, that the proper study of mankind is man ; but whilst the men of the world commend this study as of chief importance, they pronounce their own condemnation. For what man of the world cares to know himself? And how can any one know man who is ignorant of himself? The knowledge of his earthly frame is not the knowledge of man ; nor the natural history that marks the external diversities of the various branches of the human family ; nor the science of his mental faculties and their operations; nor those other sciences that investigate by parts the several elements that enter into his composition. When these sciences are pur- sued with loyalty to the facts, and the mind of the investigator is free from imaginative theories, they confirm the essential unity of the human race, notwithstanding accidental differences that only mark the diversities within the species. But those partial studies of the components of human nature will not teach us the pro- founder things that belong to our humanity; on the contrary, from the mind absorbed in the study of the external man, the internal man is but too apt to escape, so that what constitutes the dignity of man is lost from view. There is also a certain practical knowledge of man that is called the knowledge of the world, and the knowledge of life. But unhappily this knowledge of the world is more occupied with the deviations of men from the true standard of manhood, than with what concerns his real dignity; and there is truth in the words of the sage who said, " I never return from among men, but I find myself less a man ". There is but one science in which man is comprehensively and completely known, and that is the science of God.
