To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whether we plead guilty or not guilty to this ingenious indictment depends altogether on the meaning assigned -to the term ** consistency." For, as anyone who tries to do practical work in the world will rapidly discover, there is a true and there is a false ideal of consistency. To pretend that in our com- plex modern society, where responsibilities are so closely interwoven, it is possible for any individual to cultivate ** a perfect character," and stand like a Sir Galahad above his fellows ...— ^this is the false ideal of consistency which it is the first business of a genuine reformer to put aside ; for no human being can do any solid work without frequently convicting himself of inconsistencies when consistency is stereotyped into a formula. On the other hand, there is a true duty of consistency, which regards the spirit rather than the letter, and prompts us not to grasp foolishly at the ideal, like a child crying for the moon, but to push steadily towards the ideai by a faithful adherence to the right line of reform, and by ever keeping in view the just proportion and relative value of all moral actions.
