ThestUPgle which Yves gong % in Europe now was
between tAe Governments and the Red Republicans.
What had che done now The key TO all the strug-
ges which had been going on in Europe was The Two
Civilizations One was the Greco-ROmAD, Te1oTned

Emperor supreme, the source OF all law and all au-

the Emperor; under P6gausm the Emperor was not
only Imperator, but be was PontifeI Maximus, ana
demanded to be worsbipod rs God. The great
reason why so many Of toe early Christians we're mar
tyred was thst they would not acknowledge that C@-
ssr was God. On the other land, the Gernanlc sy5-

this struggle. There religion in 1t; the heresy
was only a pretext II was Germanism rising up
against CGseiism. Had Luther presented 1t as It was

given a final quietus to Cesarism, and verified the
