Excerpt from Nathan the Wise: A Dramatic Poem in Five ActsWe have, to be sure, made great progress in the cause of human brotherhood: The establishment of the Hague Tribunal, with its gospel Of arbitration, though perhaps more honored in the breach than in the observance, has brought us inevitably nearer to the ideal of universal brotherhood, preached by the prophets of Israel, and however calamitous for the human race the terrible ordeal may be through which the nations are passing, the struggle for mastery is so distinctly a test of the survival of what is best in our civilization, that it can not pass without leaving a blessing in its wake. Out of this holocaust must com? A saner and sweeter humanity, and the realization that nation is linked to nation, not so much by ties of blood, a common tradition, a common language, and by other selfish considerations, but by the higher ideal of mutual responsibility and a sense of universal fel-i lowship.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
