e whole history of the situation; and I may leave it to form the epigraph of this little book。
All that I need further say is to point out that when such defiance is offered to the intelligence of a thoughtful and honest young man with the normal impulses of his twenty…one years; there are but two alternatives。 Either he must cease to think for himself; or his individualism must be instantly confirmed; and the necessity of religious independence must be emphasized。
No compromise; it is seen; was offered; no proposal of a truce would have been acceptable。 It was a case of 'Everything or Nothing'; and thus desperately challenged; the young man's conscience threw off once for all the yoke of his 'dedication'; and; as respectfully as he could; without parade or remonstrance; he took a human being's privilege to fashion his inner life for himself。
