“Just as we can say⟳ that an English girl who leaves the narrow circle of her old life, and goes into a munition factory and joins a union and takes part in its debates, will never after be a docile home-slave; so we can say⟳ that the clergyman who helps in Y. M. C. A. work⟳ in France, or in Red Cross organization in America, will be less the bigot and formalist forever after.”
