In the East we contemplate; commune, and suffer ourselves to be carried away by the spirit of the universe. In the West you wrest from. nature her secrets, you conquer her, she makes you weal by and prosperous, you look upon as your slave, and sometimes fail to realize her sacredness. In the East, nature is our eternal sanctuary, the soul is our everlasting temple, and the sacredness of God's creation is only second to the sacredness of God himself. In the West you love equality, you respect man, you seek justice.

In the West you establish the moral law, you insist upon propriety of conduct, you are governed by public opinion. In the East we aspire, perhaps vainly aspire, after absolute self conquest, and the holiness which makes God its model.
