Events may prove him greater than even his warmest admirers now imagine him to be.

A crisis, either in the Church or in the economic world, might enable him to break through a certain atmosphere of traditional clericalism which now rather blurs the individual outline of his soul.

But, even with the dissipation of this atmosphere, one is not quite sure that the outline of his soul would not follow the severe lines of a High Anglican tradition.

He does not, at present, convince one of original force.
Yet, when all doubts are expressed, he remains one of the chief hopes of the Church, and so perhaps of the nation.

For from his boyhood up the Kingdom of God has meant to him a condition here upon earth in which the soul of man, free from all oppression, can reach gladly up towards the heights of spiritual development.
He hates in his soul the miserable state to which a conscienceless industrialism has brought the daily life of mankind.
