In the interest of an advancing Christian humanity, I call attention to
still further fallacies as I hear them in the mouth of atheism: "While
we cannot quite hold that the idea expressed by the modern word
'selfishness' is new to mankind, we can safely say that it is only
recently that selfishness came to be held a very sin. In the day of
lance, and fort, and mailed right hand, the Knight took what he could,
and held what he could, and there were no mealy-mouthed words about the
rights of others, and a broad Christian charity, either. To-day, all of
society has the precise motive of the old Robber-Barons."
