We will realize that most of them are knee-deep in
problems of shelter and clothing, of food and health, of marriage and children, of salaries and taxes, and therefore we will talk graciously and sympathetically and interestingly about these matters. But in doing so we will not forget that these things are after all merely the shell of man's higher nature. We will always assume that every man is secretly trying to follow the gleam, is trying to fashion his character to the image of his Maker. Therefore we will talk about the necessary earthy things always with an eye to man's final end, and sometimes, in the right time and place, we will talk about that final end itself.
