Some of the improvement may have been due to pressure, which keeps the cornea from bulging farther. That cannot be the whole story, because pressure disappears when...
Corporate Salvation. The pietistic, motto-wielding Christianity of his day was inadequate to the inhumanity he saw around him in a world of slums, child labor and union-busting. It is all very well, he wrote, for a man "to lean back on the Eternal and to draw from the silent reservoirs. But what we get there is for use. Personal sanctification must serve the Kingdom...
