land whence he black aee came. Euro
pean civilization has been growing since the
time of Homer, or thousand years before
the birth of Christ, and is still in its feeble
infancy. In ten centuries from this time
the colored people in Aflica may develop
degree of docility which is now regarded as
unnatural and impossible. One cannot
always tell By the outside appearance Of an
egg what species of bird it viii hatch and
bring to maturity. Humanityis still in its
primary germinal condition. ALI mankind.
develop early the vitalized cells Of
religion in some form. This phenom-.
enon is as much az observed fact
as the fall of rain on the snow and ice
forme in winter. But as one may lose his
eyesight and become quite blind, SO another
may lose his moral sense and have less
conscience and less religion than q we'll
raised dog. So much depends on example,
culture and education, that it is not easy to
overestimate the susceptibility of the human
genus to constitutional changes for the
better or worse. Too nany changes are
not improvements. 1t was affirmed with
great confidence that one freedman raised
as free boy since the war would do more
work in year than two slaves formerly did
of the same age. Every colored man forty
years old knows that this idea is not realized
and that idleness is a growing vice. We have
conversec with colored man who bought
his freedom by honest toll and had spent
several yearsin Liberia. The natives of the
country work very little, unless
driven to it as apprentices or servants.
Christian ideas in this country do not APP
ply to very unlike conditions in toriid
zone, with humans that have yet to learn
what work is. The Hebrew lawgiver
taught that man must eat bread in the
sweat of his face. Modern religion is apt to
pass by this Fundamental principle, and
substitute an easy and shallow faith in
dogmss, for honest hard work to feed and
clothe the naked, and really leave the world
better off than one found it. Productive
industry must come to the front; for neither
civilization nor Christianity has any other
sure basis than that, man in society shall
do to all others as his best reason tells him
that others should do to him. II is not
difficult 10 add ten new commandments
from the New Testament, to the ten given
by Moses, which are little respected in our
own land.
