Excerpt from Broken Lights: An Inquiry Into the Present Condition Future Prospects of Religious Faith
IT is related that the sacred Ark of the Jews was on one occasion sent forth by the Philistines to be carried whithersoever the cattle might be Divinely guided to bear it; either further into Philistia, or back to its own place in the land of Israel. With some such feelings as those which may have swelled in the hearts of the men of old as they watched to see whither their holy treasury was borne, we must surely in our day look forth over the fields of human thought and seek to discern in what direction our Ark of Faith is going forth, and in what region of opinion it will rest at last. That it is in truth moving onward, there can be little question.
