An Unintelligible Sermon

In the sermon he spoke of ethics and economics, encyclopedic man, speculative orthodoxy, psychology, isosceles triangle, unifying force from the great Universal Self, elaborate scheme of social organization, Antinous and Apollo, complex realism, sociological expansion, and the old skeleton of a defunct philosophy, etc.,—all of which, while doubtless intelligible to the Lord, was an unknown language to nine-tenths of the congregation. —Toronto Guardian.
