In some respects the forms of the preliminary discipHne were obvious enough. The conquests of Alexander secured for that marvellous instrument of thought the Greek language, such a currency as, when backed by the influence which in the West had been acquired by its literary monuments, dispensed, as it were, with the day of Pentecost, in the general action of the Christian Churcl^ and supplied a channel of communication and a vehicle of worship available in most parts of the civilized world.

Everywhere it was as with us in Britain, *When the Roman left us,' then it was that again *the ways were filled with rapine.' " Another stage to the comprehension of a truth of the widest reach and highest value was attained when the world began to be sensible of its debt to ancient Greece.
