PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The last few sentences Arthur Jarvis wrote before his death are:

"The truth is that our civilization is not Christian; it is a tragic compound of great ideal and fearful practice, of high assurance and desperate anxiety, of loving charity and fearful clutching of possessions."

- Paraphrase this quote.
- Where in this novel do we see a split between high ideals and narrow self-interest?
- Do the characters embody one or the other, or are they morally mixed?
- Can you connect this to something in our world today?

Answer:

paraphrase= Our civilization may say it is Christian, but it is not; it is a combination of highs and lows, serenity and anxiety, happiness and devastation, truths but more lies, charitibility and stinginess.

idk the rest
