sympathetic theologian, and also I know too well the defects of argument through scriptural quotation; but I have to hope, as personally I believe, that in the foregoing paragraph, given in conclusion to the discussion of immortality in the doubter's world, I have suggested what at least is not an unchristian appreciation of Christianity. * * * * * Our journey in the doubter's world here comes to an end. All things are real, yet none final. The spiritual and the material in life are sympathetic even to the point of being vitally at one with each other, thought being free and practical, and material nature being lawful but law-free, and mechanical but productively so, and being in her productiveness definite opportunity, not blind necessity, to human life. And, the "universal individual" being dead, having returned to the other world from which he came, all particular individuals have real and personal shares in the life that is, in the work that is ever to be done. Living or dying, the individual, as we have found him, is the mechanic of to-day, not the soldier of yesterday. [1] The last few sentences seem like a paragraph from some psychologist of the day. My colleague, Professor W.B. Pillsbury, for example, has just published a book on the attention, in which appears the following statement: "It seems that the problem of voluntary activity is largely, if not entirely, a problem of the attention ... . The processes which are effective in the control of a man's ideas are _ipso facto_ in the control of his movements," and this, besides being the current psychology, is quite in accord with our doubter's vision: "Well thought is well done." (See _Attention_, chapter ix. London, 1907.) [2] Chap. VIII., pp. 177 seq. [3] Chaps. III., IV., V., and VI. [4] See also an earlier discussion in this book, chap. III., pp. 49 seq. [5] Two preliminary efforts have already been put in print. See the Appendix, "A Study of Immortality in Outline," to a book: _Dynamic Idealism: An Introduction to the Metaphysics of Psychology_ (McClurg, 1898). See, secondly, an article: "_Evolution and Immortality_," in the _Monist_, April, 1900. [6] Except for a few changes, the next few paragraphs are taken from my article, "Evolution and Immortality," in the _Monist_, April, 1900. [7] In a small book, _Citizenship and Salvation, or Greek and Jew_, published some years ago, I have tried to show this of Socrates and Christ. [p.248] X. DOUBT AND BELIEF.
