This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...than that reflected by the wisdom books of the Old Testament: but still a form of thought which stops short of the precision and definiteness of modern scientific reasoning. A comparison of a passage from St. Matthew with one from St. John based on a similar figure will make clearer what I mean. In St. Matthew we read: Ye are the light of the world.

In the former the similarity between the light of the candle and the example of the righteous man is felt intuitively, but not analysed at all: both sides of the similarity consist of concrete experience, of experience in the round, as it were.
