Sutherland Orr's invaluable volume in our hands, it is unnecessary that I should follow, too closely, the course of the argument. The poet starts by assuming the fact of his own individual personality, and external to him of a power, not himself, that makes for — he knows not what, any more than the rush knows whence the stream comes that carries it, or whither it is carried. These two facts he calls the Soul and God, both so certain as to be beyond proof : he knows of nothing equally certain.^... He is now, that is incontrovertible : will he also be 1 H-^ touches upon some of the arguments usually given in answer to this question only to dismiss them — God's goodness, God's power, man's desii'es. On these matters he cannot speak : he will keep to the siu-e ground of personal ex- perience. He knows "what to me is pain and pleasure. " Beyond this all is surmise. He will state then the results of his own ex- perience, and his first judgment on life is that he cannot regard it as the outcome of wisdom if he is debarred from assuming that this world is a place of probation for man's soul.
