It is folly to expect change from the mere passage of time: time only allows changes in experience, it cannot produce them, and what requires a state of consciousness cannot come without that state. Other lectures say the same of ideals (the founders 'believed it in') and of the birth of Christ in man, which comes by faith, not by time.
