and  the  spiritual.  It  was  always  a  term  of
religion,  but  it  was  not  always  a  term  of
morality.  Whereas,  now,  one  of  its  special
features  of  interest  is  that  it  marks,  as  it
were,  the  meeting-point,  it  characterises  the
interpenetration  of  morality  and  religion.  It
belongs  to  both,  and  unites  the  twain  to-
gether. No  holy  person  is  not  good.  But
not  every  good  person  is  holy.  The  dis-
tinguishing feature  of  holiness  would  there-
fore seem  to  reside  in  something  which  lies
beyond  goodness,  or  which  at  any  rate  is  an
addition  to  it.  Speaking  generally,  we  may
also  say  that  no  holy  person  is  not  religious,
but  not  every  religious  person  is  holy.
