THE RELIGIOUS ASPECT OF PHILOSOPHY.

Our hope is not less because we have found in the temporal a world of doubt. Our song is simply the “Good-by proud world, I’m going home,” of the religious minds of all ages. The truly religious elements of theism are not hurt by the destruction of traditions about theistic arguments. It is only an example of shallow thought when either the destructive or the constructive thinkers imagine that the battle is decided if the world of the powers is judged in one way or in another. Religion is as independent of all that as Sirius is independent of the north wind.
