Goodness Of Nature Is Confined To No Type. It May Be Found Abundantly In Those Who Have No Special Aptitude For Piety At All. We Are Not, Therefore, Able To Conclude That Any One Type Is More Favorable Than Another To The Advancement Of Morality. That Seems To Be Determined Not Wholly By Supernatural Sanctions, But By The Customs Of Society, The Voice Of Some Inner law, Or At Least Other Causes As Well As The Particular Attitude Which A Man Assumes To The Divine. Ken, Keble, And Newman; Watts, Newton, Cowper, The Wesleys, And Horatius Bonar; Addison, Byron, Whittier, And George Matheson Approached The Religious Life From Quite Different Standpoints. Yet The Christian Church As A Whole Is Indebted To Them All For Voicing Her Highest Praises And Aspirations In Religious Verse.
