The facts of an ancient or religious history are amongst the most important of all facts, but they are frequently uncertain, and we only learn the true lesson which is to be gathered from them when we place ourselves above them. Some one writes in the Literary Supplement of the Times to-day, 11th December, 1919: "An almost animal indifference to mental refinement characterises our great public."
