John Hungerford Pollen Saint Ignatius of Loyola

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. But this too needs consideration, for dif ferent people see saintliness in different fea tures. Some admire entire detachment from the world, some entire devotion to God's cause among men. Some think most of one virtue, some Of another. There are many virtues, and eminence in any Of them eventually means holiness in all. Still, some virtues are more fundamental than others and I do not think that any one will quarrel with me if, in this case, I take Christlikeness as the great virtue to be outlined. The imitation of Christ is a topic familiar to all, and everyone in his measure knows something, or even much, about the ideals which the word recalls.
