he has tested himself and seen for the
first time, with clear eyes, the depth
and beauty of its service in the spirit-
ual order; so the man who has re-
volted from the barren and shal-
low dogmatic statement of a spiritual
truth returns, in riper years and with
a deeper insight, to the truth which
is no longer matter of inherited be-
lief but of vital need and perception.

The ripe, mature, full mind not
only escapes the limitation of the time
in which it finds itself; it also escapes
from the limitations of the place in
which it happens to be. A man of
deep culture cannot be a provincial;
he must be a citizen of the world.
The man of provincial tastes and
ideas owns the acres; the man of cul-
ture commands the landscape. He
knows the world beyond the hills;
he sees the great movement of life
