Are These Things II Product

The end of the century that has been the
most marked in advancement of everything
of a moral and intellectual character the
century, which, could it's growth have been
predicted four hundred years age would have
certainly been named as the real and long
hoped fol millennium; this century is ending
in war instead of peace.
The general plan seems to have produced
results that the wisest Of men could not have
forseen, nor the most courageous ofprophets,
had they forseen them, been willing to pre-
dict of the experiences through which
the nations Of the earth arc passing
That the possible outcome Of the past CEN
fury of achievements in the fields Of mental
and moral science should be that which now
confronts us, is worse than lnexplicable; it is
confounding and discouragng.
For thirty years the great nations of Eu-
rope and America have been arming against
each other only to find themselves directing
that armament against savages in northern
Africa, hordes of semi-ciyilized Chinese in
Asia, the enlightened christian Beers in South
Africa, and the hopelessly undesirable Phil.
liplnos of Oceanica.
To what are these things chargeables Is
it safe to credit civilization. as we under.
stand the intellectual growth of the nine.
tenth century, with q moral betterment of
mankind and to assume that matters would
have been infinitely worse had progress
during the past hundred years been main.
tanned at the rate of that CT the proceeding
century,
AT The opening Of the century the Napol'
comic wars were devastating Europe; near
the middle of the century came the Crimean
and Austro ,Gcrmanic wars; during the third
quarter came the American civil war and the
Franco Prusslan; then the Turko-Russan
and at the end we have our Spanish Ameri
can, followed by the instruction of the lib
Grated Philippines; the Ango-Boer war in
South Africa and last but possibly the most
momentous of all, the rising of the Chinese
hordes against the entire outside world.
Japan, practically unconsidered among
the great nations prior to the descent of
modern civilization upon her thousand is.
lands, at once became world.power, as
reckoned by guns and armorcd vessels; she
whipped China and is now posing before
Russia with "a chip on her shoulder" while
the latter is maneuvering to be first in at
the death of the Chinese Empire, with all
Europe, save France, glaring at her, and
with Americas fingers deep in a pie that is
rapidly growing hot and when done" will
almost certainly be the occasion Of clash
ing OF knives in the cutting up process.
These, with the every-fifteen. minutes rev.
olutons in Central and South America, with
uprising In Africa and growing in the
Balkans constitute the basis upon which
nineteenth century civilization may build its
claim to have bettered the moral status of
humanity as it has advanced Its intellectual
growth.
One needs not be classed as q pessilnist
who gives it as his view that the basis is mar
row, upon which to erect so broad a claim.
