It takes him back to his parents and reminds him constantly of his ancestors. He forms his ideas of justice in his economic experiences.
Whatever more it means, it surely means this, that Christ comes to kindle in men's souls a blaze of enthusiastic, divine love, such as the world never saw, and to set them aflame with fervent earnestness, which shall melt all their icy hardness of heart, and turn cold self-regard into self-forgetting consecration.
His griefs and his joys were hers, and though he still held her a mere child, it was with a woman's self-forgetting love she ministered to him, gladly accepting whatever confidence he would give, but content to wait until he should give more.

'Karl Mander was chosen, he wrote, 'chosen as a forerunner before the people's own time should come chosen because he was good and blameless; his message to futurity was not soiled in his soul." "That is beautiful." "Child, can you imagine how I was carried away?
She became at that moment a human being, self-forgetting, the heritage of her charms for she really had a curious but very poignant attractiveness suddenly evident. It was only a momentary lapse and it was entirely wasted. Not even one of the waiters happened to be looking that way, and Tavernake was thinking wholly of himself.
