How to understand these sentences?
Please explain to me these two sentences, especially the highlighted parts. Ignore the grey one if irrelevant.
Thank you.
1.Doctors are no doubt correct in warning us not to touch incurable wounds; and I am presumably taking chances in preaching as I do to a people which has long lost all sensitivity and, no longer conscious of its infirmity, is plainly suffering from mortal illness.
I have problem with the "is" here, which I think its subject is "a people", but there is no link.
2. Nature has cast us all in the same mold in order that we may behold in one another companions, or rather brothers.
Thank you.
