That Person Is Most Cultivated

We Forget That The Accumulation Of Knowledge And The Holding Of Convictions Must Finally Result In The Application Of That Knowledge And Those Convictions To Life Itself.

What After All, Has Maintained The Human Race On This Old Globe Despite All The Calamities Of Nature And All The Tragic Failings Of Mankind, If Not Faith In New Possibilities, And Courage To Advocate Them. Doubtless Many Times These New Possibilities Were Declared By A Man Who, Quite Unconscious Of Courage, Bore The "sense Of Being An Exile, A Condemned Criminal, A Fugitive From Mankind." Did Every One So Feel Who, In Order To Travel On His Own Proper Path Had Been Obliged To Leave The Traditional Highway?

The Impulse To Share The Lives Of The Poor, The Desire To Make Social Service, Irrespective Of Propaganda, Express The Spirit Of Christ, Is As Old As Christianity Itself.

We Are Thus Brought To A Conception Of Democracy Not Merely As A Sentiment Which Desires The Well-being Of All Men, Nor Yet As A Creed Which Believes In The Essential Dignity And Equality Of All Men, But As That Which Affords A Rule Of Living As Well As A Test Of Faith.

The Blessing Which We Associate With A Life Of Refinement And Cultivation Can Be Made Universal And Must Be Made Universal If They Are To Be Permanent.
