And because of all this, everywhere is growing order
and organization. The church, the state; men, women, and children;
the criminal and the law, the honest man and the thief, industry and
commerce, capital and labour, the trades and the professions, the
arts and the sciences--all are organizing for pleasure, profit,
policy, or intellectual pursuit. They have come to know the strength
of numbers, solidly phalanxed and driving onward with singleness of
purpose. These purposes may be various and many, but one and all,
ever discovering new mutual interests and objects, obeying a law
which is beyond them, these petty aggregations draw closer together,
forming greater aggregations and congeries of aggregations. And
these, in turn, vaguely merging each into each, present glimmering
adumbrations of the coming human solidarity which shall be man's
crowning glory.

THE HOUSE BEAUTIFUL
Speaking of homes, I am building one now, and I venture to assert
that very few homes have received more serious thought in the
planning.
