About the Book

Excerpt from The Call of the City: A Sermon by the Rev. J. H. McIlvaine, D. D., Cavalry Church, Pittsburgh, December 13, 1908

This then is the first thought I want to impress upon you, that a city is not a mere as semblage of individuals, a mass of mere units. An aggregate of individuals doing what they please does not make a city. Long ago a Greek philosopher used those very words doing what they please, as descriptive of barbarians, who had not yet attained the dig nity of'citizenship and civilization. \v e have a true city only where we find a community of men and women impressed with the idea of life in common, from which all derive advan tage, for which all feel responsibility, to which all contribute. Is it not then a most serious matter to find such multitudes in our cities who have no sense of what it means to belong to a great community, and no idea of the duty and responsibility which all share? Many appallingly many - among us, care nothing for the problems of the great city. They do notrealize that there are any problems except how to get more money, more convenience or amusement or pleasure in and from the city. It is only the few here and everywhere who care enough about the things on which the public good depends to give them time and thought and effort. Only a. Few on whom the fire of the public spirit descends. The others, with education, ability, means and leisure'tha-t give them power and opportunity to do some thing for the public good, are content to let things alone so long as they themselves are comfortable and their interests do not suffer, content to let a few, already overburdened. Do all the work, and bear all the burdens. They are willing enough to take all.the advantages and privileges of life in a great community they are not so willing to contribute anything to its good, except their taxes and their criti cism.
