This worked out in a most admirable system of ethics.

The principle of Love was universally recognized--and used.
Patience, gentleness, courtesy, all that we call "good breeding," was part of their code of conduct.

But where they went far beyond us was in the special application of religious feeling to every field of life.

They had no ritual, no little set of performances called "divine service," save those religious pageants I have spoken of, and those were as much educational as religious, and as much social as either.

But they had a clear established connection between everything they did--and God.
