THE Christian tyne Of manhood is
the Qualification Of the am;able, as the
stole type was that Of the heroic quail
tiles. And this is one Of the reasons
why Christianity is so much better
fitted than Stoicsm to preside over
civilizations; for the more society is
organized aud civilized the greater is
the scope FIR The amiabc and the less
for the heroic qualities. Religions,
considered as moral teachers, tire
realized and effective only when they
are in conformity with the tendency
Of their age
