adopted his principles. not one who
would obey his lessons. This shows
what is. In fact confirmed from other
sources-that he himself was not an
active reformer. SO that while alive he
scarcely produced ripple on the
smooth and silent surface Of the reli-

was. no doubt. in advance of his con-

chiefly on certain verities that had
come down to him from ancient times,
and his faith in these verities and in
their coming revival has certainly not
been belied by what happened after
his death.
