of the eternal fire in him,
he is implicitly a child of the infinite.
This belief, that it is real
and actual is the pivot
of the Christian position,
the foundation and justification
of mysticism, asceticism
and the whole machinery
of the self-renouncing life.
These natural explorers of eternity,
the transcendental faculty,
the eye of the soul,
is not merely present in embryo,
but is highly developed
and is combined with highly
emotional and volitional power.
