I have no desire that they should accept my particular brand of faith or belief. While I believe absolutely in that which I accept for the guidance of my own life, I would not fetter their souls with my belief if I could. They are in ...

The Saxon was both mystic and a schoolman; to him religion was all in all and dogma a large part of religion.
