‘The world is suffering from lack of faith
in a transcendental truth.’
_Renouvier._
_Author’s Foreword_
Tolstoi relates that when he was in the Army he saw one of his brother
officers strike a man who fell out from the ranks during a march.
Tolstoi said to him:--
‘Are you not ashamed to treat a fellow human being in this way? Have
you not read the Gospels?’
