spirit alone can make free. Coming to his work from 
the dry, arid pages of Spencer, for example, is like 
coming from the atmosphere of a great manufac- 
turing-plant to the air of the summer hilltops. It 
leavens what to many minds is the heavy world 
of scientific matter with the leaver of the spirit. 
Bergson is an inspired man, and he begets in us that 
inward joy and exultation which is the gift alone of 
“a prophet of the soul.”
