It is not always easy to place such a person and he is often madly irritating but one of the duties of the Church is to capture the genius for Christ and bear with the eccentricities. If Christianity had been committed only to regular, smoothly balanced leadership which never stepped on any ecclesiastical toes, there would not have been any St. Augustine for us to remember today. What a trial St. Francis must have been to the well-oiled Church machinery of his day—always doing peculiar things that hadn’t been done before. A little better apprecia tion of spiritual peculiarities touched with genius would have made a great difference with the Church’s dealing with John Wesley and would have saved the loss of Cardinal Newman. We did better with such a turbu lent character as Philander Chase though we nearly lost his pioneering leadership when he carried his pecu liarities for a time into retirement in Michigan after leaving Ohio.
