The Spirit of Adventure.

The present period Of the world is not
unlike the Elizsbethsn age in many ways.
The sphere Of thought in civilized lands
has been brosdened by the extension of
commerce and the increased facilities of
communication and these countries have
been brought nearer 10 one another in
many ways, while antagonism has in some
cases developed through conflicting inter
ests. At the same time there is an in
creased knowledge of and interest in those
lands which stIn remain undeveloped by
the spirit OF modern progress and more
thorough dissemins ton Of knowledge and
information among the masses OF the peo-
pie everywhere.
In all these ways the present century
resembles that of Shakespeare and Spen-
ser Raleigh and Drake. Curiously enough,
the progressive movement began at about
the same time in the course Of the cen
fury. so that there Is almost exactly three
hundred years between the two periods.
Future historians. seeing the events Of to-
day in the light OF their influence upon the
progress Of humanity, may trace yet other
resemDlauteos
Perhaps the strongest Characteristic of
both eras has been the spirit of adventure
which has prevailed. This is exemplifed
in one particularly picturesque figure who
will have to be preserved in the historical
romance Of the nineteenth as Of the six
teenth century. This is the soldier Of for
tune-the man who, fighting for love OF his
trade and Of money. is willing TO lend his
strength and skill TO any nation which will
give him enough to do and pay him well.
No one who has read the accounts of the
war in South Africa can fail TO recognize
the presence OF many foreign mercen-
aries in the service OF the Beers. The
continent has been a happy hunting
ground Of such sdyenturers for many
years. owing 10 the constant chance OF
trouble In one part Of 1t or another; and
they have simply slipped into the places
made ready for them. They have no con-
victions as a rule, though they are any
thing but unintelligent men. They are
not even possessed invariably by the idea
that money is desirable, since with them

SATURDAY. APRIL a. 1899.


while nothing OF great military import
snce may develop in South Africa for the
next few days there are indications in
plenty that Lord Roberts is not only work
ing hard in preparation for an advance, but
is almost ready TO start. He is still short
OF winter clothing and horses. but both
are arriving rapidly and it viii not now
be long before he viii overcome existing
obstacles and take the field. The presence
OF Methuen's column eighty miles west Of
krooustsd and heading for that position.
is pretty good evidence that an attack on
the Boer position. in flank as well as in
front. is in contemplation. As Botha can
not have more than thirty or forty thou
sand men IN the Free State. it is quite
possible that the British army. which will
move with not much short OF a hundred
thousand in its ranks. may be able 20 turn
the line at Kroonstad and make it untena-
be without any costly general engagement.
One reason for believing that Lord Rob
erts is about TO take the offensive is that
he has hinted something OF the kind in
8 cabegram to the Prince OF Wales. Just
now the British situation does not look
altogether satisfactory; but while the
Beers have probably taken all the advan-
tsge possible to them of their enemy's
inactivity for the past weeks. they have
really accomplished very little Of a char
scter to affect the future Of the war. The
affairs at Koorn Spruit and Reddersburg
were British plumbers rather than Boer
successes, and. unless BOtha should be able
30 score a point by capturing Dalgetty and
bis few hundred colonisls at Wepener he
will not have much TO show for his raid
when he tricks north. as inevitably he must

The controversy which various people
have been carrying on through the me-
dunn OF newspapers, on the comparative
merits Of Moody and Ingersoll' may rot
be in particularly good taste, considering
the recent death of both men, but !: s
only Just 10 state that it was started pS
the Moody people. II is interesting 10 NOTE
however. the ready and vigorous defence
which has been put forth against the at
tacks which some would-be religious per-
sons have made on the memory ,. the
dead agnostic One of the things WHICH
used to be alleged against him during ms
lifetime was that he was destroyer, hot
a builder: that he took away the faith OF
those who heard him and gave them moth
tnz in return. The number OF persons
whose faith he destroyed was probably ex-
tremely small; it may even be SAID tha'
there were not any, for people who were
adherents OF any form Of religion dld not
usually go to hear him, or read his books.
Il is perfectly evident, however, from the
indignant protests which have been made
against attacks upon him since his death,
that he was not a mere iconoc!ast. for no
such character could have aroused ieei-
ing Of loyalty and trust so warm and
earnest, among thousands who did not
know him personally.
It is significant, too. that those who
defend Moody and attack Ingersoll base
their arguments upon matters Of creed
and upon what they consider the in

be found in the replies expressions Of
warm personal regard and admiration Tor

story has remained unknown except to
the small circle OF persons who hap

death. Ingersoll was not a rich man, owing
mainly to his habit Of doing little things
like this. There are hundreds of such
stories aioat, illustrating his keen, sensi-
tive. almost quixotic sense Of justice Com

Christians consider unavoidable and even
oommendable. they were an object lesson
which appealed forcibly to the minds Of
