Frankly let him accept it all. Jesus says,Leave father, mother, house and land and follow me.' Who leaves all, receives more. This is as true intellectually as morally. Each new mind we approach seems to require an abdication of all our past and present possessions. A new doctrine seems at first a subversion of all our opinions, tastes and manner of living. Such has Swedenborg, such has Kant, such has Coleridge, such has Hegel or his interpreter, Cousin, seemed to many young men in this country. Take thankfully and heartily all they can give. Exhaust them, wrestle with them, let them not go until their blessing be won and after a short season the dismay will be overpast, the excess of influence withdrawn and they will be no longer an alarming meteor, but one more bright star shining serene in your heaven and blending its light with all your day."--Emerson.
