Groat Men and their 1nauenoe

Great men, it has been truly said, far more
than any arcs and coliseums, are the true world
wonders. 1t has, indeed, of late years, been
the fashion with certain historians to deny to
any single man-even the createst-that he
exercised any moulding influence on the events
OF his time. According TO the reading of the
worlds history by these historians, the men
who seemed to us to have dominated over their
own time, only broueht TO head the floating
tendencies Of their own age, which would in
evi'abiy have been done by them. These ten
denotes, in fact, are everything, and the men
are nothing.
This, which had certain air Of philosophy
and show of wisdom, came to a head in
the writings of Buckle, which would always
secure a large amount OF acceptance. 1t was
welcome to small men by the assurance it
seemed to give, that great men did not really
contribute to shape and mould the world more
than themselVes--that there are none really
great men after all-that men do not mould
events, but that events mould men. But who
could affirm that there would have a free
Holland except for William the Silent or a re-
yival Of Imperial France, with all the mighty
issues with which this revival was pregnant,
both TO Our generation and generations to
come except for Napoleon III? Alexander
the Great, Julius Caesar, Charlemagne, each
fashioned the world, or a very large portion of
1t, for long successive ages. One stands in
awe of the Notwithstanding influence which
some single men have exercised. 1t is sol
emn, and it would be a terrible thing to CON
template, if we did not believe that a mightier
than man rules over all; that those mightiest,
not less than the smallest, are in his hands.
Helpers or hinderers Of his kingdom are alike
raised up by him to work out his plans, and to
bring about in the end, by strange and diverse
ways, that kingdom which shall finally rule
over al.-Archbishop Trench.
