I quote these passages as illustrations of the lecture, not
because I accept the main views of the author, with his pre-
ference of Greek to Christian ethics.

(19.) It must be admitted that this argument is less strong
to-day than it appeared some years back. We are now witness-
ing, not merely in the Church of Rome, the claim, as Dr. Gore
has described it, " to hold a very high sacramental doctrine com-
bined with extreme dogmatic weakness at the centre." Still,
that does not alter the fact that we can see historically how
the weakening of the hold on the sacraments leads in the
long run through subjectivism to the surrender of the creeds j
though it takes centuries to work out the immanent logic
of Zwinglianism, and the very strong personal and mystical
religion of many Puritans has been for a long while an effective
barrier against the tendency. No one could rate more highly
the value of this mystical and personal element in religion
than the writer. But it ought not to exist alone, and needs to
be balanced by the other factors of religion, a truth admirably
expounded by Baron von Hugel in his new book on "The
Mystical Element in Religion."
