The recognition Of this idea solves
great many historic problems which,
20 a mere surface view, appear very
dark and mysterious. In fact, there
is no other intelligent or Ineligible
method of reading history or inter
preting cotemporaneous events. Go
ing back into classic lands and times
and reading the records of the palmy
daYs Of Greeee and Rome, one would
say, Surely here are two empires,
two peoples, that must and will en-
dure so long as time itself. What
marvellous power aud skill are dis
played in all departments of govern
ment and of life. What genius in
art, what prowess in arms, what wis
dom in law and legislation, what
breadth of intellectual culture, are
here! Alas, the empires Of Greece
and Rome, with all their poetry and
philosophy and military glory, lacked
the one thing essential to national
perpetuity, and that was the benefits
of gCbristian civilization. Conse-
queSti9, all of their greatness and
grandeur have long since been num-
bered among the ''things that were."
Coming nearer home, take the
case Of the American Indians. How
much useless pity has been expended
upon the fate of the unfortunate red
man. But the destiny of the red
man has been brought upon him by
his own persistent refusal to acknow-
ledge the march of a Christian civil
lization. In the majestic sweep and
progress of this great underlying his
toric design, the Indian was found
standing athwart, and so obstructing
the path of onward movement. One
of two things he had to do: fall in
With the movement and helm it along
or inevitably be crushed out by its
irresistibly-rolling wheels. He has
chosen the latter alternative, and
must abide the consequences.
