_] "we seem to see a great army drawn from
every nation under heaven, from every social class, from every section
of Christ's Church, pledged to one thing and to one thing only-the
establishment of Christ's Kingdom upon earth by His method of
sacrifice and the application of His principle of brotherhood to every
phase of human life. And as they labour there takes shape a world much
like our own, and yet how different! Still individuals and
communities, but the individual always serving the community and the
community protecting the individual: still city and country life, with
all their manifold pursuits, but no leading into captivity and no
complaining in our streets: still Eastern and Western, but no grasping
worldliness in the West, no deadening pessimism in the East: still
richer and poorer, but no thoughtless luxury, no grinding destitution:
still sorrow, but no bitterness: still failure, but no oppression:
still priest and people, yet both alike unitedly presenting before the
Eternal Father the one unceasing sacrifice for human life in body
broken and blood shed: still Church and World, yet both together
celebrating unintermittently the one Divine Service, which is the
service of mankind.
