The fact is to be noted, in this connection, that it is the nature of the religious emotions to express themselves and that it is within the sphere of consciousness, when attention is directed thereto, not only to be aware of the outward facts of experience, but also, to know the emotions themselves from which these facts arise. It is also to be observed that the same emotions such as fear, faith and love which compel certain physical attitudes will, under changed conditions, constrain to ethical conduct. In this truth the hope of culture is enshrined. The dynamic is given. It is simply a question of how a present energy is to be directed. The power lies back of the emotions.
