APPENDIX: NOTES AND REFERENCES.<br />

p. 4. Goethe.—Elsewhere Goethe says to the youth of<br />

his time: "Take with you this holy earnestness,<br />

for earnestness alone makes time eternity.'''<br />

Boehme's motto was : "He to whom time is as<br />

eternity and eternity as time is freed from struggle."<br />

For many similar expressions see Fichte,<br />

Reden an die deutsche Nation; Emerson : Essays.<br />

p. 4. Heraclitus.—Our comment is anticipated by the<br />

poet Callimachus on Heraclitus, in the Greek<br />

Anthology.<br />

p. 5. Animism.—The word is Tylor's, and his Primitive<br />

Culture is a good introduction to the subject.<br />

There is an excellent article by dAlviella<br />

in the first volume (just published, August, 1908)<br />

of the new Hastings Dictionary of Ethics and<br />

Religion. "Momentary gods"—Augensblick<br />

Gotter—is Usener's phrase, in Gotternamen:<br />

Versuch einer Lehre von der religiosen Begriffsbildung.<br />

p. 8. "Religion has had its turn at the wheel." The<br />

phrase is Professor Santayana's, and the fifth<br />

volume of his Life of Reason is but an expansion<br />

of the thought.<br />

p. 9. Reverence.—Bosanquet: Civiliation of Christiandom,<br />

61.<br />

p. II. Son of Man.—The school referred to is led by<br />

Professor Nathaniel Schmidt. See his The<br />

Prophet of Nazareth, ch. v.<br />
