altar. led we know not by what unaccountable in
fiuences. But she never could cease to be guided

ened her life DO not care TO ask. But one thing
we are certain that should England cease to be
Christian in its worship, under the agnostlc
theology Of Herbert Spencer. or Christian In Its
faith in immortality, under the guidance of
George Lewes. England could never produce
another George Eliot In either sentiment or
imagination"
