I do not know why I should be undeservingly praised. ** None is good, save One, that is, God, as theLord Jesus hath said. The rest are only tools in His hands. * Gloria in Excelsis, 4’ Glory unto God in the highest, and unto men that deserve, but not to such an undeserving one like me. Here, The servant is not worthy of the hire/‘ and a Fakir, especially, has no right to any praise whatsoever, for would you praise your servant for simply doing his duty ? * * * My unbounded gratitude to Pandit S, and to my Professor* for this kind remembrance 6f me. Now I would tell you something else. The Hzndu mind was ever deductive and never synthetic or inductive. I
