Mr. Woods “classifies religious faiths according as the judgments they imply are individual, collective, or universal and normative. Under the first division he considers primitive beliefs not strictly religious, under the second ancestral systems, and in the third he includes various forms of mysticism, of the Vedânta system and Buddhism as well as Christianity.”—Nation.
