Morality is one element only in the religious idea. There is nothing that may not be a religious symbol. The lower the religion, the more inconstant and inconsistent the symbols. The higher the religion, the more compactly all are grouped about the moral life and bound up with great personalities ; and tradition becomes solidified and less fluctuating. This whole world of the imagination need never construct a sharp concep- tion of God. It may produce the sense of an indefinitely sublime Being ...bound up with symbols and images; and it may desire nothing more than clearness and force in these expressions of the imagination. But the practical needs of the rites, the prayers, and the 76 The Value of Religious Facts usages which attach to them take more rigid shapes and often become trans- mitters of the tradition.
