Be of Real Assistance.

Spinoza’s test in the Scripture* of Humanity: He who desire* to assist other people will avoid referring to th* voices of men and will take care only sparingly to speak of human impotence, while he will talk largely of human virtue or power and of th* way by which it may be made perfect *> that men being moved, not by fear or aversion but by the effect of Joy, may endeavor as much as they can to live under the rule of reason.
