Excerpt from Philistinism: Plain Words Concerning Certain Forms of Modern Scepticism In the third and last section of the series, no complete defence of the Essential Faiths is to be expected - since none was contemplated. I sought, not to prove them true but, simply to indicate that no most modern knowledge can prove them false. I confined myself, there fore, to the consideration of the prime factors of those faiths. I did not attempt to carry the thought of God or of Christ above the basic elements - content if I could help any one to feel in the old, familiar conceptions, a solid ground of verifiable truth, upon which he could for himself develop a fuller fa1th. These sermons constitute, there fore, no complete statement of my own belief, such as some of my clerical friends seem to be expecting in them. I do not feel called upon by anything which I have taught to make any other protesta tion of faith than that which I affirm publicly whenever I use the Catholic Creeds. That I remain in the Protestant Episcopal Church is the evidence that I think myself loyal to those Creeds. Who art thou that judgest thy brother? To his own Master he standeth or falleth. Let me commend to those who are so sorely troubled about other people's consciences those wise words of the great-souled Dean of Westminster - words which have an even wider reach than the limits of the Thirty-nine Articles.
