How many before Indian women with pitying eyes and tender hands shall have carried the gift of healing, the better gift of the health that outstrips disease, through the roads and villages of India? The existence of the Medical School has been made possible by the gifts of American women. Its continued existence and future growth depend upon the same source.
Fascism moreover, as a cultural movement, is just now taking its first steps. As in the case with all great movements, action regularly outstrips thought. It was thus at the time of the Protestant Reformation and of the individualistic reaction of the XVII and XVIII centuries.
"That, softening objects, sometimes even Outstrips the heart's demand; "That smoothes foregone distress, the lines Of lingering care subdues, Long-vanished happiness refines, And clothes in brighter hues." Enough has now been said, perhaps, to show in how many ways our retrospective imagination transforms the actual events of our past life.
Another basis of supremacy is conviction. Leadership belongs to those who believe. The man who has a definite policy to propose, and a definite way of working for it, soon outstrips the man who is just looking about. Kingship involves an iron will. An iron will does not imply necessarily ugliness of temper, obstinacy, or pig-headedness.
The black bear of Canada is a formidable creature, and Dr. Richardson contradicts the assertion that it is not swift of foot; he says that it soon outstrips the swiftest runner, and adds, that it climbs as well, if not better than a cat. It feeds on berries, eggs, and roots; but although it does not seek flesh, it does not refuse it when offered.
He gives up six years of his energy at that stage of his life when a man is ready to submit to the hardships of any apprenticeship to a petticoat, which he outstrips in the career of ingratitude, for the woman who has thrown over her first lover is certain sooner or later to desert the second. Adolphe is, in fact, a tow-haired German, who has not spirit enough to be false to Ellenore.
Their so-called predictions or forecasts are essentially predications, gaining locally the effect of predictions because the telegraph outstrips the wind. At only one place on the globe has it been possible as yet for the meteorologist to make long-time forecasts meriting the title of predictions. This is in the middle Ganges Valley of northern India.
Not excepting the falling stars for they are far less sudden there is nothing in nature that so outstrips our unready eyes as the familiar rain.
We only discuss that to which we have not attained, and the virtues we talk most of are those beyond us. The ideal outstrips the actual. But it is no discredit that a man pictures more than he realizes such a one is preparing the way for others. Marcus Antoninus has been a guiding star an inspiration to untold millions. Marcus Aurelius was forty years old when he became Emperor of Rome.
He, like Paracelsus, had read that bitter sentence which declares that "collective man outstrips the individual": "God has conceded two sights to a man One, of men's whole work, time's completed plan, The other, of the minute's work, man's first Step to the plan's completion." And the poor minute's work assigned him by the divine law of justice and pity he accepts as his whole life's task.
