Excerpt from The Unexplored Self: An Introduction to Christian Doctrine for Teachers and Students Every few days we would come to some centre where American missionaries were stationed and the contrast between the atmosphere around them and elsewhere was marked. It happened that at one place we were invited in to family prayers and the story of Paul's conversion on his way to Damascus was read. This incident, of course, may have had its part in the result. Along the way we discussed every conceivable subject, although the problems of philosophy were especially congenial to us. At the beginning we were both agnostics, I had, however, without knowing why, pretty well made up my mind that there must be a value in existence and the fact that the missionaries were doing something, while we were only talking about it, impressed me. I found that from the foundation of a meaning in things, without any of my friend's erudition or his skill in analysis, I was yet able to hold my own and to build up a more satisfactory system than he could. At the end of the two months my mind was made up to accept the propaganda of that basis as my life work and this volume is a part of that development and propaganda.
