The Blessing Which We Associate With A

To Attain Individual Morality In An Age Demanding Social Morality, To Pride One's Self On The Results Of Personal Effort When The Time Demands Social Adjustment, Is Utterly To Fail To Apprehend The Situation.

Unless Our Conception Of Patriotism Is Progressive, It Cannot Hope To Embody The Real Affection And The Real Interest Of The Nation.

We Are Learning That A Standard Of Social Ethics Is Not Attained By Travelling A Sequestered Byway, But By Mixing On The Thronged And Common Road Where All Must Turn Out For One Another, And At Least See The Size Of One Another's Burdens.

Perhaps Nothing Is So Fraught With Significance As The Human Hand.

We All Know That Each Generation Has Its Own Test, The Contemporaneous And Current Standard By Which Alone It Can Adequately Judge Of Its Own Moral Achievements, And That It May Not Legitimately Use A Previous And Less Vigorous Test. The Advanced Test Must Indeed Include That Which Has Already Been Attained; But If It Includes No More, We Shall Fail To Go Forward, Thinking Complacently That We Have "arrived" When In Reality We Have Not Yet Started.
