CHAPTER VII
CANON E.W. BARNES
_True religion takes up that place in the mind which superstition
would usurp, and so leaves little room for it; and likewise lays us
under the strongest obligations to oppose it.--BISHOP BUTLER.
Socrates looked up at him, and replied, Farewell: I will do as you
say. Then he turned to us and said, How courteous the man
is!--PLATO._
In this able and courageous Doctor of Science, who came to theology from
mathematics, a great virtue and a small fault combine to check his
intellectual usefulness. His heart is as full of modesty as his mind of
tentatives.
