I heard the Rev.Mr.F.once depolarize the story of the Prodigal Son in Park-Street Church.

Many years afterwards, I heard him repeat the same or a similar depolarized version in Rome, New York.

I heard an admirable depolarization of the story of the young man who "had great possessions" from the Rev.

Mr.H.
in another pulpit, and felt that I had never half understood it before.
All paraphrases are more or less perfect depolarizations.

But I tell you this: the faith of our Christian community is not robust enough to bear the turning of our most sacred language into its depolarized equivalents.
You have only to look back to Dr.Channing's famous Baltimore discourse and remember the shrieks of blasphemy with which it was greeted, to satisfy yourself on this point.
