Excerpt from Discourses on Positive Religion
Paul, and built up of the holy lives of countless men and women who, seeking to deny themselves and to purify their lives from every selfish thought, became a leavening influence in the world around them, a spiritual power not resting on the force of armies and the ordinances of magistrates, but on the inward force of conscience.
We commemorate the mediaeval rulers, Charlemagne, Alfred, or Godfrey, who, uniting Roman energy with Chris tian faith, created in chivalry the new ideal of manhood, the loyal sense of honour, the reverent protection of weakness; and who saved the Western world from the barbaric floods that threatened to overwhelm it.
