Excerpt from The Ordinary Man and the Extraordinary Thing The veritable life Of a man is lived, not visibly and externally, but in the impenetrable solitude Of his soul.

Profound and extraordinary changes Of soul are experienced by the most ordinary Of men.

Conversion is not generally a sudden and catastrophic experience, but for most men a gradual and imperceptible process Of development.

Without religion, the moral and physical pro gress Of those great masses Of humanity who carry the fortunes Of civilisation can never be assured.
