And with all our science and mod
srn machinery are we nearer the
solution of the great problems of
living we'll and dying calmly than
was poor old Job? Are our leaders
more anxious for the greatest good
of the greatest number" than Peri
Giles? Are our scientists thinking
clearer or living better than the
philosophers of old? When all is
done will the Great Judge accord
higher usefulness to Tyndall and
Huxley and Darwin than to Plato
or Aristides or Socrates? Unless
our best are nearer the figure the
Creator intended the full man to
wear, what is the worth Of all our
advantages: And when in the fu-
turc oppressed millions of the earth
shall hold out hands of trembling
beseeching to the west, shall we in
vite them to a soil owned by land
lords like their own? Have we
robbed the Savage to enable the
master TO grind in the dust the faces
of the poor: If so, we have neg
lected our opportunity, forfeited
our birthright and the curse of the
suffering,.which i. never unheard,
will rise against US. We have re-
ceived railroads and mills and col
leges for our national wealth; have
We made our people wiser or better
