THOUGHTS FROM DEAN INGE
Faith begins as an experiment, and ends as an experience. The soul is dyed the colour ot its leisure thoughts. A man who holds Ins tongue can hold anything, even a bishopric. _ _ “ Safety first ” is not a Christian maxim. . It is a humiliating fact for us parsons that the Apostles were all laymen. Nothing fails like success; a ruling class rules itself out, and ultimately disappears. Faith makes many of the mountains which it has to remove. Books about books are usually dismal things. The Liberal theologian does not see why he should bo compelled to live in a pre-Copernican and pre-Dar-winian universe. —From ‘ More Lay Thoughts of a Dean.’
