Excerpt from The Struggle for Immortality
Representing none of these wise and urgent people, the writer of this fragment is moved to say a word concerning that considerable portion of humanity who walk outside the cir cle of this portentous amphitheatre, yet near enough to be alert to its contests as well as deafened by its din. To these honest, quiet, and thoughtful people, who in all militant eras press nearest to the combatants, constituting at once their busiest critics and truest friends, it seems, if I mistake not, as if the main ques tion in dispute were one uncommonly easy to ask and uncommonly hard to answer.
