He is a Saul on the way to Damascus.

Let him swing clean away from that road of destruction and he might well become Paul on his way to immortality.
This is to say, that to be saved from himself Mr.Churchill must be carried away by enthusiasm for some great ideal, an ideal so much greater than his own place in politics that he is willing to face death for its triumph, even the many deaths of political life.
At present he is but playing with politics.

Even in his most earnest moments he is only "in politics" as a man is "in business." But politics for Mr.Churchill, if they are to make him, if they are to fulfil his promise, must be a religion.

They must have nothing to do with Mr.
Churchill.

They must have everything to do with the salvation of mankind.
It is time, high time, he hitched his waggon to a star.
Ever since I first met him, when he was still in the twenties, Mr.
Churchill has seemed to me one of the most pathetic and misunderstood figures in public life.
