Excerpt from Christ and Caesar
This book is an enquiry into social obligation and is addressed to all who look for a new world, especially to our fellow Christians.
Public calamity, said Burke, is a mighty leveller, and there are occasions when any, even the slightest, chance of doing good must be laid hold on, even by the most inconsiderable person. This may serve as our excuse for an else pre sumptuous attempt.
We cannot well exaggerate the sorrows of this time, for no human imagination can grasp them. After so great sacrifices gladly made and such high hopes formed of the new world after the war the result appears so little worth the price. How comes it that all the good will in the world should be so impotent, and that in spite of all efforts civilisation seems like a great locomotive that has jumped the rails and is now tearing its way down a steep place to destruction The old lines seem to have been written for our day.
