Note 138 — Chapter I · THE IMPORTANCE OF CHRISTIANITY.[137]

[No one can read the writings of the great sages of antiquity without a full and sad conviction that in relation to the character of God, the sinfulness of man, the future state, and the rules of living, those prime points on which we need knowledge, they were almost profoundly ignorant.
