578 INTELLECTUAL SYMBOLISM. 
continue to inspire erring humanity with the hope of forgiveness, for the consequences of 
its own feebleness and imperfection. The great mystery of all mysteries,—God the Incar- 
~ nate Word, by whom all things were made, who came unto His own, and His own re- 
ceived Him not, in whom was life, and the life was the true Light which lighteth every 
man that cometh into the world, is at once a revealed evidence, and a philosophical con- 
sequence of the mediating relativity of the Absolute. Here, then, may baffled speculation, 
which in its endeavors to grasp the unrelated Infinite, has laid a vain oblation on the 
altar of “the unknown God,” at length find satisfaction, and bow reverently and thank- 
fully as it hears the voice of the once persecuting, but afterwards converted and zealous 
apostle, proclaiming to the philosophers of all time, as well as to the “ too-superstitious ” 
Athenians,—* Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, Him declare I unto you.”
