Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Discourse on Occasion of the Death of Rajah Rammohun Roy So came the inquiring philosopher; and what bigot shall say that, so coming, he was not accepted? Like another character in this same record, he walked with God. He already manifested that spirit Of de votion which permanently possessed him which was neither weak originally, through the imperfection of his knowledge, nor polluted afterwards by the false fires of controversy in which he was compelled to engage; but ever strong, - shining steadily even through the last days of silence and darkness, when his life ebbed away. This is religion; this is Christianity in spirit and in substance, whatever its appellation. Nor is it improbable, that, by a direct influence, as well as a native affinity, his faith was linked to that of the patriarch, in the words of whose history we have ventured to describe his character and destiny. Through the traditions, both of India and of Arabia, (3) might something of the spirit of the Father of the faithful descend upon the Indian Re former; like the mantle of the ascending Elijah.
