Of one we used to speak as 'shallow scepticism '; another manages to combine extreme doubt in one direction with extreme superstition in another; but there is yet a third kind, far finer and more delicate, which regards all religions as dreams, and the Gospel as the most beautiful dream of all; a dream because it does not quite accurately correspond to the severe realities of the world, yet beautiful because it manages in some strange way to keep alive all the poetry of the soul, and to call forth all its best powers.
