The Old Testament is the literature of the people of religion, in whom ethical and spiritual religion grew, through all moods and tenses, toward perfection.

They are the "bodying forth" of thoughtful feelings for the comfort of others.

Every foreigner who has observed it will confess the awkwardness he felt in making proper reply upon the occasion.
