power In the world. This Is the fact, from
which VIC cannot escape Il We would. The
basis Of them Is In the nature Of nun, and If
there is good future awaiting the race, there
are forms OF ecclesiastical and civil insttu-
tons which will accompany thst better time
and express Its spirit. The world that has
been, .vns the domain Of Pagan tyranny; the
world that Is 10, be, will be the home Of
Christian civilization. The two systems are
!: We hava Just passed, or rather we
are now In their fiercest bart1c. Tor ohsa.tl-
anity and citizenship nre not mere names.
The religion and the government Of se1ashneSs
and fear are Pagan and barba1ous, while the
central principles Of Christianity and civilian
.ion arc The love OF God and Of man. We
have had the Christian name for eighteen cen
tn.ies but modern Rome In a great measurc,
continues ancient Rome, Henry VII repeats
Darius the Medic, and We shall not easily find
any old PagsnI5m or despou4n so false to
God and 1nan as lie 1aity end the clergy who
have In our own day united in treason In be-
half of slavery.
So the old image Of Pagan dcspotism still
etands. The difference Ia that now, instead
Of the head Of gold and the legs OF Iron, We
have. the feet and toss part Of iron and part Of
clay on which the whole dguie Is tottering
to Its falJ-if indeed it Ia not its crash which
VIC now hear But Its 1an will not destroy
tho principles Of human nature by which It
was strong. Man is made for law both human
and divine, and therefore the old system could
not 70 ont until some other was ready to I'LL
ita place Nor could It be spared. The blind
fear which was the power Of Paganism, and
the Organized selashness which WAS the
strength Of despotim, we're infinitely better
than lawless selhshness and atheism. Wewin
be thankful for what they have done for the
world, yet We SEE their fall without regret.
We await something better. Weawaita a State
and Church, which the most educated and
also the p1ainest man can accept with thor
oughly loyal loru; which can take every man
as be Is, and make him what hs should be-
Christian civilization differs from Pagan
despotism IN substituting the element Of love
Tor that Of fear. II recognizes that the two
facts In the Universe are God and Man, but 1t
shows Us God in sympathy with man, and
man IN sympathy with his brother. Its laws
arc but two. Thou shalt lore God with all
the heart, and thou shalt love thy neighbor ss
thyself. On these two hang allthe law and the
prophets,-nll The duties and all the hopes
OF man- On me nrs1 rests the Caareh, Inc
kingdom ol God. IN Inc second rests the
