The San Francisco call., 1913-11-17
n MAN is not much but flesh.
IA Indeed. all of him that is
: visible is flesh. And yet
within that is something of
which we can not speak very
definitely except to say that it
is there.
Problem to Prevent Us
From Becoming
BruteS

To take care of that some
thing and to prevent it also
from becoming flesh is one of
the problems of life. 1t is a
problem so difficult that some
people fail to solve il and be-
come flesh altogether; then we
call them brutes, differing from
ordinary brutes only in the fact
that they go on two feet in
stead of four.
There are hundreds and thou
sands of people all around us
who, judging from appearances,
are pretty nearly reduced to that
condition. Perhaps we do them
injustice, but that is the way the
thing looks. Appearances are
often deceptive, and it is only
fair to give every one all the
credit that is possible.
But when we meet, as we
sometimes do, men and women
whose only interest appears TO
be in what they eat and drink
and in what they put on, one can
not help noticing how much they
resemble four footed creatures
whose wants are all satisfied if
only their stomachs are filled and
they have on sufficient fur or
wool to keep them warm and
nest or a kennel so compact as
to keep out the snow and rain,
or if, like such creatures as pea
cocks, they have plumage sufi-
GENTLY alluring to win the atten-
ton of the other sex.
The only object in writing in
this way is to remind us all
where it is that our danger lies.
We all start out in life with
some thing besides the stuff that
our bodies are made of, and of
that something we can make
more and more or less and less.
1t will become less and less
unless we take pains with it.
We read in scientific books a
great deal about development,
and one might infer that our
natural tendency is to become
finer and finer, less and less ami
NAL and more and more human.
Unfortunately for us, develop
ment works both ways: it works
up and it also works down.
