About this listen

 I HAVE accepted with grateful pleasure the privilege of meeting you upon two evenings and talking to you upon Tolerance. I chose that subject because I had long vaguely thought of lecturing upon it, and also because it seemed to me as if there were no group of men to whom one could so fitly speak upon it as a gathering of students of theology. To them more than to other men must come the puzzling problems and interesting suggestions which the whole subject of tolerance involves. I want to speak this evening about the nature and the history and the hope of tolerance. In my other lecture I should like to see the applications of what I shall have said to-day to some of the special conditions of our time and of our Church. So we can come nearest to covering the ground. I call my subject Tolerance, not Toleration. Tolerance is a disposition: Toleration is the behavior in which that disposition finds expression. A disposition is to its appropriate behavior as a man is to his shadow. The shadow represents the man, but it often misrepresents him. It is larger than he is, or smaller. It runs before him, or it lags behind him, according as he stands related to the light which casts it. We sometimes have to guess at what the man is by his shadow; and so we are constantly having to guess at men’s dispositions by their behavior. But we never can let ourselves forget that the disposition is the living thing; and so to it our thought and study must be given. Therefore I speak of tolerance, and not of toleration.
