The Saturday Reuie,o discourses Of idea
nnl

The Saturday Reoieao discourses Of idea
moneers and Radicals thus:
A man who has ideas very far in advance
of his aye wins very little credit In his own
age, and, for the most part, does very little
practical good. The man who is really to
guide his tellow-creatures must, in the
nature of things, be in advance of other
people, but he must not be too far in adj
vance Of them. He must not be so far in
advance of them that they cannot under
stand or sympathize with him. Alike in
speculative and in practical matters, a man
who is SO far above his own age as to he out
of all relations with the men with whom he
has to deal has but little influence, and can
therefore do but little good. His acts,
his savings, his writings, may remain
TO be wondered at by distant posterity
on his own generation they are thrown
away. He is sure to be Knocked at as an
"idca-monger." In many times and places
he is lucky if he escapes the prison and the
stake. Every movement, intellectual, pc.
itical, or religious, has had its pioneers OF
this kind, whose influence, II they nave had
any, has not been on their own contempo,,
raries, but on men long alter VINO hao
heard their story or reaQ their writings.
Yet we cannot think that such men are
Altogether unworthy of honor; we cannot
look on their premature wisdom as nothing
better than folly. Take, for instance, the
two Bacons. Roger was at least as great
man as Francis; considering the circum,
stances of his time, we should be inclined
10 saw that he was much greater man.
But he had little or no influence on his own
ace. simply because he was 50 far in ad-
vance of it. lie stands as an Isolated fact,
to he admired by late posterity. But In
the age of Francis Bacon the world IN gen.
eral had greatly advanced beyond Tue aye 80
of Roger. Francis, therefore, was not SO
far in advance Of his age but that there
were other minds who were able to take up
and follow out his teachings. Roger, there
fore, simply remains the glory and the shame
of the thirteenth century francis mas been
the master OF every age since the seven.
More than this, when the time has really
como when o new idea can be pressed with
hope Of practical success, 1t IL seldom the
man who first starts it who either gets the
