Reason is begotten of faith. All nature is but a revelation of God. Thus Berkeley \ sought to regenerate the New World by his new idealism. In the crude practical civilization of this country, as it was in his day, where the chief energies of men were directed to the con- quest of nature, the enthusiastic espousal of his crude idealism by the chosen few was a contrast effect of reaction from a materialistic civilization, and suggests the strange success of Dr. William Harris' propaganda of Hege...lism in the raw cul- ture of St. Louis, thirty years ago. Pioneer-life complemented itself by crass religious creeds, while the few more thoughtful 150 JOURNAL OP RELIGIOUS PSYCHOLOGY minds turned to a crass philosophy which was the diametrical opposite of their practical lives. Thus extremes met, and this effect was heightened by the fact that Berkeley's socialistic ideas were favored by the callow Utopian democratic dream- eries of our pre-Revolutionary days. This was the most romantic of all romantic missionary enter- prises, and might almost be compared with the South Sea Bubble and the tulip-mania.
