appears too soon or ; too late. While
perhaps theologians " have . made too
much of the historic situation unto
which Christ came, their critics have
made too little of it The fact remains
tiiat for the first tlmo in the world's
history . there was tho construction of
a universal civilization whose ciuaen-

a universal language and .philosophy.
If Christianity Is criUciied because of
the elements of Greek philosophy which
have entered into its development, its
reply is that no better philosophy had
before or has since arisen by which it
might hand down and diffusa its truth.
"Besides these things there was an
almost universal bankruptcy of faith
and effort on the part of the human
heart The epicurean and the stoic
