If he preaches a sort of ranting Christianity in morals, a fit consequent to the ranting optimism of his cosmology, it is because he declares it to be the original deliverance of the human heart; or at least, for he would be honestly historical in method, of the human heart as at present Christianised. His is a morality without a prohibition; his policy is one of encouragement all round.
The Roman empire was Christianised in three centuries! Recall the innumerable testimonies down to date; e.g. the absolute abandonment of idols in the South Sea Islands, the weakening of caste in India, the romance of missions in Central Africa, etc. etc. The character, too, of modern converts is as good as was that of Paul's.
At the very beginning of our stay Mr Davidson said in one of his reports: the inhabitants of these islands will never be thoroughly Christianised till every boy of more than ten years is made to wear a pair of trousers." But Mrs Davidson had given two or three of her birdlike glances at heavy grey clouds that came floating over the mouth of the harbour. A few drops began to fall.
By-and-by he will be civilised and Christianised, and settle down, will become considerate, merciful, peaceable will be concerned about his own boys having wet feet, and will preside at meetings for the prevention of cruelty to animals; but he has to go through his process of barbarism. During this Red Indian stage a philanthropist is not the ideal of the boy.
Unless we are prepared to believe that our island was Christianised by some influence apart from Gaul, and reaching us through some route other than that of Gaul and I do not see any evidence for anything of the kind we must, I think, take it that our position was that of younger sister to the Church in Gaul. All the indications point in that direction.
SEXTIUS PYTHAGOREUS there were two born of this name, father and son wrote in Greek, reproducing the oracular style of Heraclitus. The gnuomai, which were translated and christianised by Rufinus, were stamped with a strongly theistic character.
As to the Grail, it may be a Christianised rendering of one or another of the magical and mystic caldrons of Welsh or Irish legend. There is even an apparent Celtic source of the mysterious fisher king of the Grail romance. A sketch of the evolution of the Arthurian legends might run thus: Sixth to eighth century, growth of myth about an Arthur, real, or supposed to be real.
Barra, on the former stream, is of itself a town of 2,000 inhabitants. In that part of the Amazonian territory which lies within the boundaries of Brazil, the settlements are, of course, Brazilian the settlers being a mixture of Portuguese negroes and Christianised Indians.

'Black but comely, with long, oval faces, finely formed features, straight noses and glossy jetty skins, in character they are brave and dignified, and they are distinctly negroids, not negroes. This small maritime tribe, who make excellent sailors, is interesting and civilisable; many have been Christianised, especially by the Roman Catholic missioners.
