It is not, however, so much in direct statements of doctrine as in the whole tenour and frame of his spirit, that Locke differs 'in toto' from the Deists: for Locke's was essentially a pious, reverent soul. But it may be urged that all this does not really touch the point at issue.
Locke, and later Hume, applied a similar pragmatic criticism to the notion of SPIRITUAL SUBSTANCE. I will only mention Locke's treatment of our 'personal identity. He immediately reduces this notion to its pragmatic value in terms of experience.
That fellow Locke's no more an umpire than " He stopped and looked earnestly at the bowler. The Squire 'did not answer, sitting on his mare as though carved in stone. Suddenly his throat clicked. "How's your wife?" he said. "Margery would have come to see her, but but she's gone up to London." The Rector did not turn his head. "My wife? Oh, going on first-rate. There's another!
Tommy was clamouring for his promised green carnation; but Lord Reggie, in obedience to Lady Locke's request, told him that the one he had intended for him had faded away in the night, had faded exquisitely, as the wicked fade after flourishing like green bay trees; and Tommy, though inclined to tears, was soothed by a promise that he should sit on the organ seat and turn over in the anthem.

In the shaft, directly under the elevator platform, they now cast Locke's unconscious body. "Are you sure the watchman's still up above?" asked one. "Sure." "Then give a ring for the basement." A thug pressed the button that signaled.

His incentive was double love and success: triple above all, justice. By this time the household themselves were sufficiently calm to help Brent to his bedroom and Flint to a guest-chamber.
'I really must write to Aunt Philippa. But I was spared the necessity, for the very next day Jill came to me at Miss Locke's to tell me, with a very long face, that her mother had written to say that Miss Gillespie was coming the following week, and Jill was to pack up and join them at Hastings the very next day.

Will Locke was her saint, Dulcie was quite ready to be absorbed in his beams.
Craven stared at the loose sheets in his hands for some time in horrified dismay, at first hardly comprehending, then as the full significance of John Locke's dying bequest dawned on him he flung them down and, walking to the edge of the verandah, looked over the harbour, tugging his moustache and scowling in utter perplexity. A child a girl child!
