my younger brothers, i am not speaking to you the words of enthusiasm or excitement, but the words of sober every-day knowledge and certainty. i tell you that all the miseries of england and of other lands consist simply in this and in nothing else, that we men, made in the image of god, made to know him, to be one with him in his son, will not confess that son our lord and brother, to be the son of god and son of man, the living head of our race and of each one of us. i tell[241] you that if we would confess him and lay hold of him and let him enter into and rule and guide us and the world, instead of trying to rule and guide ourselves and the world without him, we should see and know that the kingdom of god is just as much about us now as it will ever be. i tell you that we should see all sorrow and misery melting away and drawn up from this fair world of god’s like mountain mist before the july sun.
