...where are we to look for the phenomena by which we are to explain man's ideas about himself? Certainly not in language alone, as Max Muller would hold, but in rites, usages, and customs.

Christ has been a saving power since the creation of the first man, and saves even those who are ignorant of their saviour. A man's salvation does not depend upon his interpretation of the truth of God, but upon his realization of it in the great principles of nature and life. Socrates was as truly saved by Christ as is any man nowadays...
