I answer that in my own mind I have thought only of the religious. But it is easier to present religion in the concrete than in the abstract and so, in closing, I present to you the concrete example of one who knew, as no other man has known, the complicated structure of the universe and man's peculiar relation to it ; who experienced, as no other man experienced, the perplexities and bewilderments and wretched- ness of this our life upon earth ; who steered his way through the midst of all the... dangers which attend the life of one standing firmly for his convictions; who represented to the world new thoughts and new conceptions, and who gained reproach and death because of his lack of adherence to the old; who trampled upon the beliefs of his time, repudiated the teachings of his fathers, introduced the sword of con- tention among his brethren, climbed high above the narrow and inconsiderate prejudices of his country- ioo RELIGION AND THE HIGHER LIFE men, reached far down beneath the surface to dis- cover and to proclaim principles, the adoption of which should shake to their very foundations the institutions of the world.
