Reform in Mind and Motion Among Men
In a reflective essay the author argues that general reforms arise from many individual minds and that radical and fogy extremes drive progress. He likens society to a moving passenger car where both extremes, though opposing, are needed to prevent stagnation and to balance the mind’s steady and erratic tendencies. He notes religious reform’s pains and the enduring clash of old creeds with new ideas, urging a cautious, inclusive approach to societal reform.
