And it is the fervent hope of my heart that, though we now labour under a temporary poverty of genius, poſterity will endeavour to wipe away our ſhame, and equal, though they cannot excel, their exalted anceſtors.

text: We are apparently to go back, not to fundamentalism, but to a still earlier phase of man’s religious development, and regard the Bible as some mysterious and supernatural fetish, redolent rather of primitive magic and tabus than of a conference of Christians in 1948. When this new and disquieting Bibliolatry approaches the problems of life, it is inevitably gnostical rather than mystical in its emphases, escapist not realist in its impulses.
