Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Parables for the People The camel that gets permission to put his nose into his master´s tent - not in the fable, but in our real rushing modern life - and without further ado works his whole body in, to the discomfort and perhaps the discomfiture of the rightful occupant, might be called by a half dozen familiar names, business, sports, the club, fashion, society, etc., and every man and woman might reasonably be expected to know the name of his or her camel. The intruder takes too large a share of the room for himself, leaves too little for his master, and often little or none at all for religious life, spiritual culture, and personal ministry in behalf of others, which are all essential to a healthful, happy life. Certain evils are said to work their own cure, but it may be noticed that the cure is apparent rather than real, since evil never puts good in its place, but only offers a new form of self-indulgence when an old one has lost its attraction. The camel always manages to assume the aspect of a friend, or even claims the right to govern the man and drive out every other claimant to his place.
