Excerpt from E. D: Morel: The Man and His Work
As the Africans have had presumably no reason to suppose that Morel is paid by German gold (for they do not know one exploiter from another), and as on simple matters like liberty they may not have had their minds changed by the war, their Address of thanks may stand.
A fight against your own people for aliens, not even of the same race, at the risk of losing the goodwill of your own brethren, is humanly speaking unnatural. Hence we take it to be from God. And we class you among the few whom He has at all times reserved for Himself to carry out His purpose and maintain His honour among the nations of the world.
E. D. Morel is not a saint. It is true that he does not take life lightly or relax with ease. He sets a hard, a very hard pace, in racing towards the stars. But he does not wear his hair long, nor go bare-footed in Tolstoyan smock. What people think of him matters. He does like recognition, and his hard work is partly to deserve that recognition. It did not please him to be sent to prison for the Cause. His smile is somewhat sour when he is turned down by an Archbishop. This goes to show that E. D. Morel is not all saint, nor all fanatic. It indicates that the child may grow into a man, in practical politics, - and a very formidable man it will be. No one ever ridiculed Morel.
