As MEN rise higher in the spiritual scale, they will, we believe, come to see that toleration is per se a religious act, and not a mere convention based on weakness or convenience or indolence. They will find that they can yield full liberty of conscience to others without yielding up or weakening their own faith. This may not be logical, but it is something better than that useful but over-honored little foot rule. It is the state of mind to which the sanest, noblest, most spiritual, and so most religious men in all the Christian creeds have always, consciously or unconsciously, tended.—London "Spectator."
