The Seeker

CHAPTER XIV
17/19

Show him the common beautiful, wonderful, selfish self-giving of humanity, not for an hour or for a day, but for long hard life-times.

Preach the exquisite adjustment of that human nature which must always seek its own happiness, yet is slowly finding that that happiness depends on the happiness of all.

The lives of daily crucifixion without hope of reward are abundant all about you--you all know them.

And if once you exploit these actual sublimities of human nature--of the man in the street--no tale of devotion in Holy Writ will ever again move you as these do.

And when you have preached this long enough, then will take place in human society, naturally, spontaneously, that great thing which big men have dreamed of doing with their artificial devices of socialism and anarchism.
