A keeper or guardian of historical records and memories.
Chapter I
Author of Varied Types, Heretics, Etc. _First Edition Published in September, 1906_ Much of our modern difficulty, in religion and other things, arises merely from this, that we confuse the word “indefinable” with the word “vague.” If some one speaks of a spiritual fact as “indefinable” we promptly picture something misty, a cloud with indeterminate edges. But this is an error even in common-place logic. The thing that cannot be defined is the first thing; the primary fact.
