France lost her Pilgrim element in the expulsion and massacre of
the Huguenots, and her noblest political aspirations have lacked
the moral strength that comes of a pure and vigorous religious
faith. * * * But the men who came hither brought the fundamental
conception of man restored as a child of God. Personality was
their root idea, the personal soul linked to the personal God;
and this was greater than king or parliament, this was greater
than church or bishop, and no combination against this could ever
crush it.
