301 ' and littleness, confine our thoughts from genera- ' tion to generation, now to this fragment of His ' fulness and now to that ; but it is, I believe, true ' without exception in every realm of man's activity, ' true in action, true in literature, true in art, that ' the works which receive the most lasting homage ' of the soul are those which are most Christian, ' and that it is in each the Christian element, the ' element which answers to the fact of the Incar- ' nation, to the fellowshi...p of GOD with man as an ' accomplished reality of the present order, which ' attracts and holds our reverence 1 . ' But while we instinctively acknowledge the ideal in Christ as that which interprets perfectly our own aspirations, for no accumulation of failures can destroy the sense of our destiny, we confess, as we look back sadly, that alone, in ourselves, we have no new resource of strength for the future, as we have no ability to undo the past. The loftiest souls apart from Christ recog- nise that they were made for an end which ' naturally' is unattainable.
