What perfect Manhood may be, we need not pause to inquire.

Whatever it may be, it is the true self of each of us.

It follows that the nearer each of us gets to it, the nearer he is to the true self of each of his fellow-men; that the more closely he is able to identify himself with it, the more closely he is able to identify himself with each of his fellow-men; that in realising it, he is realising, he is entering into, he is becoming one with, the real life of each of his fellow-men.

And not of each of his fellow-men only.

He is also entering into the life of the whole community of men--( for it is the presence of the ideal self in each of us which makes communal life possible)--and, through this, of each of the lesser communities to which he may happen to belong.
