The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pagan and Christian Creeds by Edward Carpenter: course all religions to-day--except perhaps the Buddhist
--love to do); he was dominated often by unreasoning Fear,
and was consequently cruel. Yet he was full of that
Faith which the animals have to such an admirable degree
--unhesitating faith in the inner promptings of his OWN
nature; he had the joy which comes of abounding vitality,
springing up like a fountain whose outlet is free and
unhindered; he rejoiced in an untroubled and unbroken
sense of unity with his Tribe, and in elaborate social and
friendly institutions within its borders; he had a marvelous
sense-acuteness towards Nature and a gift in that direction
