( TliiiiifH I'aexiilaiuetl. The ground fact is that we do not know ourselves always. You cannot tell what you would do under certain Circumstances. You may honestly say "Xo," aod to-morrow you may as honestly say "Yes" to the same appeal. We have no forecast in this i direction ; we cannot project ourselves into a new euviroument, and say what we would do uuuer such aud such circumstances. You have uo right to throw a lien upou your future. Take it iu auy of the ordinary aspects of life, . aud the truth conies out the same. What would you do under such and such circumstances? You instantly reply, "I should decline?1 should not accept the position." idut wheu the circumstances are transferred from ^ tbe regiou of speculation to the region ( of reality, and you are called upon noj , to return a speculative answer, but a real aud literal reply, theu you become a new self, and you say. *'I accept." Is that inconsistency ? Nothing of the I kitid. You cannot imagine a set of circumstances with any real aud vital I eilect; they must be present with you I | iu all their literaluess and reality, and ; you must feel their immediate pressure | before you can give the true answer of ! your heart. Youth knows this, men of business kuow this, all students of ; ; humau life know this. 80, then, the larger truth coming up out of these ! illustrations is that we do not always kuow ourselves. Why should we try | j to know other men? How eager we I are to charge other men with iucousisI teucy. What do you know about in- 1 ! consistency ? The word is too large | for your mouth. Inconsistency! We I live by it, we are educated by it; it is by collision, self-correction, new views, ( nlarged horizons, revised decisions, that we come to our strongest and maturest conclusions. If you want to l charge anybody with inconsistency, if you are really mad with auger and passion in that direction if you must charge somebody with inconsistency, charge yourself with it.
