rHE DEPENDENCE OF THE STRONG UPON THE WEAK.
The strength Of the State depends upon the individual
man's value is TO be measured by that which is and
that which be. While may measure him by his
worth producer and member Of society," still we can
not overlook his spiritual worth. We have begun TO
learn safety of the depends upon their
treatment OF weak. 1t is not possible TO make any
thing strong without taking into consideration all the
surroundings. The weak well as the strong must be
for II is hard to make society easy TO live IN, ex
cept by intelligence equally diffused among its parts.
We have no arstocraoies, thOse.Of wealth. which
live only as long as the snow lives. The democratic
principle however recognizes aad glories in dversties
81 permits men 10 take the place their talents give them
We are perpetually having superortes in democratic
countries In every part there natural judges, or
nataral elerymen But they do not want superior men
put and kept over them. Every man rises to his nat
ural hight il makes society stable, by enarging It's
base.
There is nothing so safe as freedom OF thinking and
speaking. II had been permitted freedom, there
would have been fewer revolutions in the world. The
time is coming when it will be impossible 10 nfiame
nations against another The working classes OF ihe
world are coming more ana more INTO sympathy WIN
each other. They will follow democracy
THE LIBERAL PROFESSIONS AND DEMOCRACY
The literal professions modifying beng helped
by the fact they have public to which to appeal
is good for every profession 10 stand IN community
enlightened enough judge them. Classes left 10 them
selves are always proud Once itEwas a crime among
The common people 10 know much: itls changed
There is stl TOO small a conception of the common
knowledge Of the great masses OF the community. All
professions surrounded by the intelligence OF the
community, are nOurished bv IL. Governments gener-
ally have endowed and kept up the learned class
Now have such cncOurageIDeut knowledge
must not hc sought for itself but for the good Of all
Then the other classes will become its patrons when
the learned classes are sympathy with 1t. The man
that II e rned seeks 10 bring the lower classes %
bi-he Is the higher scholar The differences IN IDEAS
will off chaf. and bring the truth out at last An
ordinary knows than an average priest
IN the time OF Queen Elizabeth How rOble II VIII be
when every man Will his knowledge IN the service
VI his fellows.
Art is one Of the last things which would he thought
subject 10 democratic principles, hut II Is one OF the
hrst u IS better 10 adOn the poor mans cottage an
palace The artist must take the times he finds them,
and work for his teYQg-men. Artists decry ehr0mOs,
hut Is II not better 10 have them than 10 have bare
yasi bless God for cheap pict9res, that shall, like
John the Baptist prepare the way Tor the coming Artist
The unconscious influence OF Democratic principle IS

of society. Steadily IRON Christianity has come re-
gard for the liberties OF men, and we have now raised
fights; he has he made TO have them
Any theology that denies this is antChristan and anti
DeInOcrdr. The old systems OF theology cannot stand
against the principle democracy We have no crown
hnt the hrow OF God is the Father; men are
brothers

the The unconscious influence OF democracy Is felt
coming al the future, for beyond the storm
the calm; the future IS fun the garden OF Eden
