THE MORAL ORDER
375

our idealistic realm is a moral order, wherein any moral agent has his place, his task, his effectiveness, his freedom, and his individual worth, and, has all these just by virtue of his unity with all Being, and with God. His acts are his own, even because God’s Will is in him as the very heart of his freedom. And his deeds are not indifferent to the whole universe, which wins through his free aid when he coöperates, and through the overruling of his caprice when he withstands. Yet it wins by regarding and including his freedom.
