2. Speaking of self-worship which leads to brutality toward others, Mill
says: "Christianity will never practically teach it" (the equality of
human beings) "while it sanctions institutions grounded on an arbitrary
preference for one human being over another."

"The morality of the first ages rested on the obligation to submit to
power; that of the ages next following, on the right of the weak to the
forbearance and protection of the strong. How much longer is one form of
society and life to content itself with the morality made for another?
We have had the morality of submission, and the morality of chivalry
and generosity; the time is now come for the morality of justice."
--Ibid.

"Institutions, books, education, society all go on training human beings
for the old, long after the new has come; much more when it is only
coming."--Ibid.

"There have been abundance of people, in all ages of Christianity, who
tried... to convert us into a sort of Christian Mussulmans, with the
Bible for a Koran, prohibiting all improvement; and great has been their
power, and many have had to sacrifice their lives in resisting them. But
they have been resisted, _and the resistance has made us what we are,
and will yet make us what we are to be_."--Ibid.

Appendix K

"In this tendency [to depreciate extremely the character and position
of women] we may detect in part the influence of the earlier Jewish
writings, in which it is probable that most impartial observers will
detect evident traces of the common oriental depreciation of women.
The custom of money-purchase to the father of the bride was admitted.
Polygamy was authorized, and practised by the wisest men on an enormous
scale. A woman was regarded as the origin of human ills. A period of
purification was appointed after the birth of every child; but, _by a
very significant provision, it was twice as long in the case of a female
as of a male child_ (Levit. xii. 1-5). _The badness of men_, a Jewish
writer emphatically declared, _is better than the goodness of women_
(Ecclesiasticus xlii. 14). The types of female excellence exhibited in
the early period of Jewish history are in general _of a low order, and
certainly far inferior_ to those of Roman history or Greek poetry; and
_the warmest eulogy of a woman in the Old Testament is probably
that which was bestowed upon her who, with circumstances of the mos
