SURVIVAL OF THE GOOD
“Right and good survive—l will not say because of, but —through human beings: the will of God is done through men; if men are not prepared io do it, it must wait its time, until other men come; and on the whole it suffers worse defeats through the faintheartedness of the good than through the violence of the bad,” said Sir Richard Livingstone, president of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, in a recent address. “There would have been no Christianity—so far as one can see- —if the hearts of the 11 Disciples had failed them and they had gone back to their homes, or if through the 19 centuries that have followed there had not been a succession of men who persisted in spite of endless discouragement and often through apparent total failure, clinging tenaciously- to their ideal and allowing nothing to deter them from pursuing it.”
