 ing. Newman's whole mind and spiritual feeling were against the whole position of modern research—he could not bear not to know.

Mr. Hutton is basing his hero's claim on a false issue. Newman's claim to greatness does not lie in any deliberate sacrifice of problematic powers for the sake of theological science. He deserves the name of great because in an age of materialism and superficial intellectualism he held aloft the banner of spiritualism, because amidst all obloquy and insult he held to what he considered the truth,, because he yielded up the proud position of a great spiritual leader to follow the inward summons. He has been one of the operative forces that have aided to transform England. It is for this reason he has been honoured and mourned by Englishmen of all creeds, quite apart from the merits and demerits of the theology to which he devoted his saintly life.
