When his health gave way Arnold Toynbee, foreman of his student gang, went forth to carry his lectures on the industrial revolution up and down the land.
Falling on hard days and evil tongues and lying customs, he wore himself out in knightly service.

So he gained his place among "the immortals." But the secret of his genius and influence is this: He fulfilled the debt of strength and the law of social sympathy and service.
This spirit of sympathetic helpfulness has also given us what is called "the new womanhood." To-day our civilization is rising to higher levels.

Woman has brought love into law, justice into institutions, ethics into politics, refinement into the common life.

Reforms have become possible that were hitherto impracticable.

King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table marching forth for freeing some fair lady were never more soldierly than these who have become the friends and protectors of the poor.
