Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Angel and the Vision, or the New Christian Commission And in this spiritual realm there must be breadth as well as height; conversions not only in character, but in opinion. The incident before us is a record not only of repenting and turning, but of broadening. For conversion does not necessarily enlarge a man, it may simply turn him in another direction. It is possible to come out of evil into good, and yet remain under intellectual conceptions that dwarf and restrain one. There is a broad world wisdom that often runs along with a worldly life, that may be lost if the better life is held under narrow conceptions, so that while the change may be a gain morally it is a loss intellectually; a process that has had illustration from the first until now, in the proselytes whom St. Paul found it so hard to teach the distinction between the letter and the spirit, and in those of today who fail to distinguish between conduct and character, between dogma and life, between the form and the substance of the faith.
