To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And this profound will within us is Patriotism. . . .
Family interests, class interests, party interests, and the material good of the individual take their place, in the scale of values, below the ideal of Patriotism, for that ideal is Right, which is absolute. Furthermore, that ideal is the pubUc recognition of Right in national matters, and of national Honor. Now there is no Absolute except God. God alone, by His sanctity and His sovereignty, dominates all human interests and human wills. An...d to a£Srm the absolute necessity of the subordination of all things to Right, to Justice, and to Truth, is implicitly to affirm God.
When, therefore, humble soldiers whose heroism we praise answer us with characteristic simpUcity, '*We only did our duty," or, "We were bound in honor," they ex- press the rehgious character of their Patriotism. Which of us does not feel that Patriotism is a sacred thing, and that a violation of national dignity is in a manner a profanation and a sacrilege?
