 other experiences, and all other experiences in relation to them,

 to try to unify all their experiences, and that it is religion still which 

 alone seems to unify all experience — the corporeal and the mental, 

 the inward and the outward, the ideas of value and the facts of 

 existence, the events of time and their significance for eternity.
