Approached in this way, the religious world will appear to us as a body of natural theists, all agreeing that they must do God's will, but differing widely amongst themselves as to what His will and His nature are.

Their moral and religious views will be equally vague and dreamlike--more dreamlike even than those of the Protestant world at present.

Their theories as to the future will be but '_shadowy hopes and fears_.' Their practice, in the present, will vary from asceticism to the widest license.

And yet, in spite of all this confusion and difference, there will be amongst them a vague tendency to unanimity.
Each man will be dreaming his own spiritual dream, and the dreams of all will be different.

All their dreams, it will be plain, cannot represent reality; and yet the belief will be common to all that some common reality is represented by them.
