, temporizing expedfents will fail. They
are dozv and brittle. Paresis stamps
them. They are judged.
All the real progress in the idea Of what
! genuine democracy includes. and what
II ;r'udes. has been. consciously or not:
Cbrist's ideas of man. 1t has been a
| painful process, slowly penetrating the
| intricate processes and sodden politics OF
the world, attended by harsh parodies and
bitter failures; but it has been continuous
| and eliminating, and at last 1t Will con-
queT.
The errors and follies of men in the sa.
cred name of mankind have been appalling.
Liberty has been detained - those who
were themselves the servants of corrup'
| tion." but the very curre-.cy OF the coun'
terfeit is a testimony to the value OF the
| true coin.
Timd souls shrink back from the birth:
ease-loving refuse to think large enough
to see what lies in that proposition, in
which the evangel is cognate with the law
of iiberty-that every man. is man. Fut
the virgins magnificent is the ennunciation
Of new society: It IS prophecy Prep ssyy;, AN
down the mighty from their seats and ex-
allied them of low degree"
That cause of the people. which by the
utmost widening of responsibility engages
and educates the largest number, grows
with each latest day: Before its lawful
rose of dawn the lanterns of cropping
sprt Of al fe as Christ, the peoples Man,
interprets it, making all classes danger.
Gus classes" and those the most SO who
must absent themselves from the concerns
of men at large; it instil.s the conviction
that an actually human relationship yields
to no adverse possession" of privilege,
hat Ixy~o IS f,o -,
must pass.
For democracy America stands. TO it
we are shut up. This is the peoples land.
BY Christianity democracy shall stand
and by naught else. If it denies the law
of Christ. it denies that which begat it.
A divinely human society, from God and
through men, with the two great and last
commandments as it's pillars, is that to
which we are summoned if we are to
keen faith with men and God.
Signallv. before the envious nations. we
are to chasten, uphold, defend that idea,
vide as the earth is. We cannot evade
the duty, and we must not sell the b.es,.
ing. To retreat or to retract would be to
relinquish that opportunity of which
America is the trustee-not to exp,,it a
continent, but to .uplead a world. New
and emphatic providences thrust this dou.
bic faith upon us.
The. cause of the peop;es-of all the PEG.
PIE, the cause of mankind and of every
man, specially tbs. lowest and the least
is the cause and the only cause Of democ.
racy, and it also is the cause OF Him
whose errand was liberation, and who. rs
the eternal deliverer, lives to accomplish
all His invincib,e decree.
Hail, Thou Son OF Man! Let all the
people. praise Thee! Then shall the earth
yield her increase! The enlargement Of
all the sons OF men is Thy supreme ar.
gument and evidence. They shall walk at
liberty because they seek Thy precepts.
If Thou shalt make lis free we shall be
free indeed: Love is Thy law and the fel.
lowship of love its answer. Unto Thyself
save Thou this America.
