Mr.JackLondonmadeaninitial mistakeinmakingthe"brute's"father agoodIrishman.AgoodIrishman keepingallthemorallaw,withoutany referencetoGodortoreligion!It ispossiblethataman,anIrishman, oraPrussian,shouldbestrictlyhonest,andperformawholelifetimeof moralgoodworks,andthatthese moralgoodworksshouldbeunenlightenedby"faiththatworkethby charity,"butthatIrishman,orthat Prussian,wouldmakeanemptyboast ifheclaimedtobeabysmal.

OurIrishman,orourPrussian,or Mr.JackLondon's"Brute"areinfluencednotindirectly,butpositivelydirectly,bytheteachingandexampleof parents--notonlyremoteancestorswhopractisedandtaughtthemorality,notnewlydiscoveredorevolved fromanyabyss,beginningorbedrock,butfromtheheights,fromthe mountain-top,andweevenknowthe nameofthemountain-top-MontSinai.
