Σελίδα 93 - And the spirit of goodwill among men rests on spiritual forces; the hope of a ' brotherhood of humanity' reposes on the deeper spiritual fact of the ' Fatherhood of God.' In the recognition of the fact of that Fatherhood and of the Divine purpose for the world which are central to the message of Christianity we shall discover the ultimate foundation for the reconstruction of an ordered and harmonious life for all men.

Σελίδα 81 - And the rude son should strike his father dead : Force should be right ; or rather, right and wrong, Between whose endless jar justice resides, Should lose their names, and so should justice too. Then every thing includes itself in power, Power into will, will into appetite ; And appetite, an universal wolf, So doubly seconded with will and power, Must make perforce an universal prey, And last eat up himself.
