usually mean not so much that which Is common knowledge mo lc c as that which Is exact and undeniably true truo and andic the ic plain Inferences to be bc drawn from flom such obvious truth And by hy poetry we usually mean meun using and Interpreting phenomena of oC all Kinds symbolically figuratively and suggestively Common SenNe In Religion We of or the time liberal churches until vel verj recently have been valiantly championIng champion- champion Ing In science and have been trying tring zealously zealously zeal zeal- to bring what we ve called common common com coin mon sense Into

still Insists In calling a revealed d foundation foun bun dato dation for or all that faith can cami build 1 as asa asa a temple of or the soul soul It I was not our business to debate debute this
