Let me pass next to the Charity and Brotherly Love which are a usual fruit of saintliness, andhave always been reckoned essential theological virtues², however limited may have been the kindsof service which the particular theology enjoined³. Brotherly love would follow logically from theassurance of God's friendly presence, the notion of our brotherhood⁴ as men being an immediateinference from that of God's fatherhood of us all. When Christ utters the precepts⁷: "Love yourenemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them whichdespitefully use you, and persecute⁹ you," he gives for a reason: "That ye may be the children ofyour Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, andsendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." One might therefore be tempted¹⁰ to explain both thehumility as to one's self and the charity towards others which characterize spiritual excitement, asresults of the all-leveling character of theistic belief. But these affections are certainly not merederivatives of theism. We find them in Stoicism, in Hinduism, and in Buddhism¹⁴ in the highestpossible degree. They HARMONIZE with paternal¹⁵ theism beautifully; but they harmonize with allreflection whatever upon the dependence¹⁶ of mankind on general causes; and we must, I think,consider them not subordinate but coordinate¹⁷ parts of that great complex excitement in the study ofwhich we are engaged.
