on which ''two commandments hang ali
the law and the prophets" and Which
supplied the moral basis of the new
dispensation. This is one history, and
that the most touching and most pro-
found of all, forwhich WeShould search
n vain through all the pages oftthe
classics,-I mean the history OF. the
human soul in its relations with its
Maker; the history of its sin, and grief,
and death, and of the way of its re-
covery to hope and life, and to enduring
joy. For the exercises of strength and
skill, for the achievements and for the
enchantment of wit, of eloquenee, of
| of politics and war, let us seek them on
the shores of Greece. But If the first
among the problems of life be how to
establish the peace and restore the bal
ance of our inward being; IL the highest
of all conditions in the existence ofithe
creature, be his aspect towardsithe God
| 10 whom he owes his beinR!n and in
whose great hand he stands; then let
us make our search elsewhere. All the
ltwOnders eOf ythea Greek civilization
heaped together are less wonderful than
is the single Book of Psalms. Palestine
4 was weak and odespised5 always OBJ
seure, 6ftentimes and long trodden
masters. Greece for thousand years.
