Chapter V: The Religion of Loyalty

I. Objections to all the foregoing sources of insight as
inadequate,--if considered as separate sources,--to
furnish a basis for a vital and positive religion. Need
of a new source. Appeal to life to furnish such a source.
The new source is due to men's efforts to solve the
problem of duty, and results from the relations between
the religious and the moral motives 166

{xiv}

II. The historical conflicts between religion and morality.
The relations between faith and works, divine grace and
moral strenuousness. Review of these conflicts. Need
of some unifying motive 170

III. Analysis of the bases of morals. Individual and social
elements in the idea of duty. Resulting first statement
of the search for a moral principle. Incompleteness of
this first statement 182

IV. The contribution of the reason to the definition of a
moral principle. Practical inadequacy of the result thus
far attained 186

V. The loyal spirit illustrated 190

VI. The motives of Loyalty analysed. Definition of what
is meant by a Cause to which one is loyal. The principal
of Loyalty, stated and developed. The religious
aspect of the loyal spirit. The finding of the cause is
not due to the will of the loyal being; his service of the
cause is due to his will. Resulting reconciliation of the
moral and religious motives. The cause as a free gift of
grace. The service as one's own. The absoluteness of
the principle of loyalty. The solution of the "religious
paradox" 197
