Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bible Truths, With Shakspearian Parallels In which it is not a notable characteristic. This unconscious coincidence between the morality of the greatest minds and that of revelation suggests a field of inquiry, tempting indeed to enter, but of too extended a character to be treated, as' the fertility of the subject would require, within the narrow limits of a preface. That such a coinci dence, however, is not altogether the mere result of educational prejudice, as some no doubt will be ready to assume, is' quite evident from the fact of its having been sometimes conspicuous in -the works of men singularly heedless of Scripture morality, and even of men the general tone of whose works has been notoriously out of keeping and opposed to it and further, by the fact that it also holds good in many cases between the morality of the New Testament and the minds of men who wrote before the Christian era. The Christianity of Platonism affords an interesting evidence of this. The coincidence, I imagine, is no mere outward accident of education, but a God-implanted prin ciple, radical and innate, the very natural homage of the greatest spirits to the Father of all spirits, the irresistible gravitation of all moral genius to its common centre.
