Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Another Mile: And Other Addresses
For the gift without the giver is bare. Who giveth himself with his alms feeds three, Himself, his hungering neighbour, and Me.' The temper of the present age is no longer compre hended by such a statement of the social question. In stead Oi generosity, men ask for justice; instead of alms, they demand work. Thus the legend of the search for holiness, if written for present-day readers, must be translated from the language of charity into the language of industrial life, and the new Sir Laun fal finds his Holy Grail through productive labour rather than through pitying love.
They who tread the path of labour, follow where Christ's feet have trod.
