Something is evidently not right. Quite
certainly he has not discovered the peace that passes understanding.
But perhaps Dr. Orchard will never be satisfied till all men think as he
thinks, and until there is only one Church in the world for the
expression of spiritual life, with either Bishop Herford or himself for
its pope.
In the meantime he is too busy for the profound silence. The event of
the day sweeps him before it.

CHAPTER X
BISHOP TEMPLE
. . . _faint, pale, embarrassed, exquisite Pater! He reminds me, in
the disturbed midnight of our actual literature, of one of those
lucent match-boxes which you place, on going to bed, near the
candle, to show you, in the darkness, where you can strike a light:
he shines in the uneasy gloom--vaguely, and has a phosphorescence,
not a flame.
