operation, In the nineteenth century
Christianity was carried to the So
called heather world; In the twentieth
century the true and higher Christian

well as to the heathen, world. The
nineteenth century ran mad with ex-
tremes-of riches and poverty, of cul-
ture and ignorance, Of high character
and degeneracy; the twentieth century
VIII see more equable conditions, an
uplifting OF the entire mass, q moro
general diffusion Of prosperity.
Peace aud brotherhood.
The nineteenth century was filed
with war; the twentieth century will
finally usher in worldwide peace,
The nineteenth century was marked
by noisy struggle and barbaMc splen-
dor; the twentieth century will be
marked by more silent, but more sys-
tematic effort and by the cultivation Of
the artistic and beautiful.
In q word, the progress OF the nine.
toenth century was outward; the prog
ress of the twentieth century will bo
inward.
The centuries form the rounds on the
ladder Of advancement.
Humanity Is about to take another
step upward,
BE not dlsmayed. The world grows
better, brighter, happier.
Be not dlsmayed. Our side may lose
In factional struggle, 1t is but an
incident in the world-progress.
BE not dlsmayod, Things may not
move as rapidly as we would wish;
but they do move, and that is much
BE not dlsmayed, There Is a i}cnei-
cent Intelligence in the Universe, AMI
through all things runs a purpose; the
law Of evolution still operates, and the
human race is not retrogradlug, 5ut
Is moving onward
Do not be 80 egotstlcal rs to imagine
that, simply because things do not go
your way, the Lord has ceased doing
business.
Remember It Is always possible that
you may be the one mistaken.
The world is not perfect and is not
apt to become so in hundred years,
or thousand, either; but 1t is going
in the right direction and II will reach
the goal Of higher civilization by and
by.
Be an optimlst. lie Is the only sound
and healthy philosopher, 1t is not
necessary to shut your eyes TO present
evils; but do not let them distort your
vision of the future.
AS Tlmo Sweeps On.
As time sweeps on we are coming near
To the birth Of the reign Of right;
We approach the final, disastrous
wreck
or the systems Of brutal might;
The specters Of murder and force and
greed
Shall fade as an evil dream;
And freedom and Christian broIher
Shall rule o'er the world supreme
Sublime in the sunrise Of liberty
The hills OF the future loom.
The empire Of war and robbery
Is close to its final doom;
Though rich in plumber Of land and
gold.
In spite Of It's boasted power,
Twill split on the rock Of the Rights Of
Man
And God is striking the hour,
The man or nation that lives by tho
sword
Shall die by the sword, at last;
For this Is the lesson Of history
Through all of the blool-stalncd
past.
Go read the record by Tiber's banks,
AS scrawled in the ruins gray;
Go con II over in fallen Spain
The law Is the same today.
Go read 1t in England-the pilod'up
wrongs
OF thousand years Of the past
She has sown the wind over all the
earth.
And the whirlwlnd comes at last
For Liberty, queen Of the years to be, |
Is standing in the Transvaal-
She speaks once more to the souls Of |
men,
And the whole world thrills at the
call.
IN the morn OF the coming century
The era Of truth and right
Shall dawn sublime over the New Time
And fill the world with its light,
rhe rule Of robbers and murderers
And worship of gold shall cease,
)ver all the earth shall come to birth
The reign Of the Prince OF Peace,
