So long has the narrow, parsonical, cynical contempt for the understanding of the lower classes prevailed through our fault a reversal to blind worship of the masses, of the immature and the unsuccessful, is not inexcusable. We are here to love mankind all mankind, the outcast as well as the weak every man and all men. But the masses are not quite the same thing as mankind.
The very word 'purify' speaks to us of another condition; it implies impurity, it implies a process which is more than contemplation, it implies the reversal of existing conditions, and not merely the growth upwards to unattained conditions.

His defeat at first and the speedy reversal of the verdict against Confederation form one of the most diverting episodes in the history of the movement.
