growing in this
country and was to be traced to col
lege influences. OF course the eccles-
iastical definition of agnosticism is
here assumed. Fortunately ecclesias-
ticism is muchly discredited, and ag-
nosticism is nothing so very danger
ous but merely signifies lack OF sub
stantial evidence and knowledge on a
particular matter. An agnostic is not,
need not be, irreligious. Many de-
vout religious people are agnostic.
Much of our knowledge is empiric,
and experience disproves many cher
ished beliefs. We are none the worse

than excludes, agnosticism. Rashi, the

when puzzled on certain point. An
honest admission of the truth is whole

not the agnostic; it, however, breads
the ignoramus, the one who presumes
knowledge without possessing any.
