The Providence news. (Providence [R.I.]) 1891-1906, 1894-06-20

DcLt Joseph rope OF Lee, Mass. Ills sub
lect was '.Ihe Relation OF Society to the
The question concerning the relation OF
society to the individual Is one of vital
Importance, but IL is one which has given
rise to the widest diversity OF opinion.
Two theories are especially prominent.
First, there Is the theory which considers
the rights OF individuals as such to be
prior to all Others. The other is the
socialistic theory. This exalts the inter-
ests of society. Both theories originated
In Greece and developed through the
times OF the Reformation and French Re-
voiution. Close examination brings out
cardinal. truths in both, but neither one
contains the whole truth.
The individual without society makes
no progress, and the same Is true OF So
ciety. In the perfection of one you find
the perfection OF the other And where
this Is fully realized, then will the lofty
ideal OF both be reached.
