To clearly eomlrhend this truth we must i
take a broall survey of human Intellectual
activity. All human thought lay be broadly
classel , under two heads , the one reason , the
other faith : the one the repreRentatve of the
material forces or the universe , the other the
offspring or the spiritual elements that stand

haIls 1,000 years durIng whIch these two
ultmatcs or human thought developed sep-
arately. In the est the Julalc , Idea ut re\-
elaton , that Is of spiritualy , was taking
root , and In the west Its opposite . namely
U'al or reason or materialsm , was gaining :
constanty leI strength. The one system of
human thought was gathered , together In the

Plato From the Ideas embollied In these two
works time rest or human thought levelops ,
There comes a period In which time two

They are the naturl growth and offspring -

Ideas have sImply met and molfed each
other. we come to that In which the HeHenlc
thought seems absolutely dead and the
Judaic system or phiosophy Is the dominating
prlnclplo of hutatory. But again there comes
a time In whIch the western thought revIves

Helenism In their broadest sense. This
state of alalrs leads to thc very day In whIch

today there would be such a submergence or

conflict between the two opposing forces Is

But It seems to be the period of Helenistc

have changed their names , but the principles
they represent are the _ same today , as _ they
