The Freedmen's Bureau was the one federal attempt to raise the social and economic standing of the ex-slave.
This cordial approval of their folly was more incomprehensible than had been the failure to relegate them to naps and knitting earlier in the afternoon. "And you've got another party to-night, too; haven't you?" went on Frank smoothly. "As for those things there" he waved his hand toward the table "of course you'll take them.
They grasp, of course, the great central idea that Perfected Man possesses a joyous immortal Life permeating spirit, soul and body; but they relegate it to some dim and distant future, entirely disconnected from the present law of our being, not seeing that if we are to have eternal life it must necessarily be involved in some principle which is eternal, and therefore existing, at any rate latently, at the present moment.

"I wonder if you'd understand that I'm not speaking ungraciously if I said that I shouldn't offer them anything at all?" He put up his hand and stroked his long, fair mustache. It was the sort of rebuke to which he was sensitive. It seemed to relegate him to another land, another world, another species of being from those to which she belonged.

Olive inquired. "Why do you ask that when I have given it up?" "Do you consider it such a tremendous sacrifice?" "No," said Verena good-naturedly; "but I confess I am curious." "Curious how do you mean?"
Briefly, the reason is that it is the very essence of justice that every man shall have his day in court; that the attorney is but the trained and educated mouthpiece of his client; and that to refuse the cause of a client in which the attorney does not believe is to relegate all the controversies to the judge in the first instance, which, of course, would render the administration of practical justice impossible.
