45^ CONCLUSION. 



But belief Is not solely, nor perhaps even pre- 

 dominantly, a matter of the reason. It is a compli- 

 cated state of mind, into which there enters a large 

 element of will and a considerable element of time 

 and training. We cannot believe unless we will, 

 and we cannot believe new truth until the mind has 

 long been habituated to it. And it is to effect 

 this transformation into belief that speculative 

 philosophy in the end requires the stimulus of fear 

 and the help of faith. For it is keenly conscious 

 that without faith knowledge edifies not, and that 

 the Temple of Truth is upreared in vain if wor- 

 shippers cannot be found to enter it.
