This kind Of men possessed the mind u

Mohammedan influence aud propagan-

there it encountered, will venture to say,
noble resistance, which has made us
deeply the debtors of those people by
whom it was offered. There were four
nations, the Armenians in Asia, the Boil.

are now called by various names, aud the
Hellenic race in Greece and the whole If

rich among them thought their possea-
sions more valuable than their faith, vet
the bulk Of the people adhered to their
Christianity, and maintained it unbr0ken
through many long and weary genera

they sink to the servitude and suffering
until in many we'll Thought field they had
bravely contended with the Turk-and
do not suppose that was q small matter.
Turkey, on the contrary, a. military CO.
adjutOr was truly great; in his warlik0

of the nations of the world, he had most
developed the military art, his courage
and skill we're indisputable-it was those
nations which broke the force of the ad-
vsncing deluge, and left of the deluge
only 90 much as the rest of Europe were
able to repel. They we're like q shelly ng
beach which restrained the ocean. That
beach, it is true, is beaten by the waves;
it is laid desolate; it produces nothing;it
becomes, perhaps, nothing but mass of

weed; but it is fence behind which the
cultivated earth can spread, and escape
the incoming tide, and 50 it was against
the Turk the resistance of Bulgarians, of
Servians, of Greeks, q resistance in which
one by one they succumbed, with the

mountaineers Of Montenegro, who have
never succumbed. 1t was that resistance
which left Europe able to claim the enjoy
ment of her own liberty and to develop
her institutions and her laws.
We learn the lessons of history. We
are told we are Q school of sentiment.
I ask how it happens, if We arc q
school Of sentiment, that every historian
in the country is strongly on our sidea
ask how it is that men so widely differing
in their accidents Of character and opin-
ion as Mr.. Freeman, Mr.. Froude, and Mr.
Csrlyle--and l believe Knight add to them
Mr.. Stubbs, Mr.. Green, and many moro
even of those gentlemen who represent
the historical school of England, but
those three in particular-how it il that
those men share those opinions which
have been expressed to US upon this plat
form tonight! -.
