O knihe

Excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly, Vol. 129: January-June, 1922

This oriental soul the Modern Phar isee claims as his birthright, not to be traded away for the contents of any pot even though it be the melting-pot. What both the ill-will of the world and the cowardice of his weaker brethren re gard a reproach and a shame he consid ers a glory and an honor. And his high est aspiration is to bring the spirit he is made of to its fairest ¿owering. His very name Pharisee means distinctive ness, separation, noble aloofness. He believes the eternal Pharisee spirit to be one of the redeeming forces of the world. For one thing, it is a serious spirit, terribly serious. Then, it is an in tense spirit, unspeakably intense: of the deathless quality that moves mountains. Lastly, it is a severely religious spirit, withal shot through with tender human ity, whose chief aim is the abolition of the unjustified difference between the holy and the profane, whose chief pro test is against the damning seculariza tion of life.
