pie united the hardihood of the

Norway is only little dot on the

her, like huge tree full of vigor, ex-

The service we herein attempt is to
portray the relations of the present
to the past and future, by tracing
some of the mightiest elements of hui
man advancement.
William the Conqueror was the en-
cyclopedia of civilization in his time;
he fertilized antiquity to such an
overlooking extent that all the parent
geniuses were recognized as his chill
dren, and the richest harvests ever
garnered, were accredited to the seed
he had sown.

KN England's Glory Not Due to King Alfred siIss

Henry Norman, a Norwegian resi-
dent of South Melbourne, Australia,
though a subject of his majesty King
Edward, is rot willing to give undue
honor to the British name. He has
written a vigorous article protesting
against giving King Alfred, whose
millennial was celebrated year ago,
the credit of being the founder of
England's material greatness. This
he recently sent in letter to Rasmus
B. Anderson, in which he takes occa-
sion also to commend in flattering
terms the works of this writer. His
contention is that the glory of Britain
dates from the Norman conquest. His
article follows
At the close of the ninth century ap-
peared Rollo, who led the flower of the
Norwegian NOTES.-The chivalry of
western Scandinavia, the founders OF
the duchy of Normandy, which in
course of time became the native land
of the kings, conquerors, nobility, and
chivalry of Great Britain. They EN-
barked not for plumber, but to lay the
foundations of empire, to seek an ap-
propriate field wherein to work out
the great destiny for which they were
reserved; they founded the order of
gentlemen, whose mission it was to
diffuse that spirit of chivalry, which
had but dimly dawned on the magma
ten of the older world in the isolated
careers of a Pericles, Epaminondas,
or Scipio. To them belonged rank
and nobility that resides not il pre-
negative, and has no necessary connec-
ton with coronets or ermine, it was
that innate dignity which kings can
not give or parliaments annul; dis
tinction the Norman might we'll be
proud to recognize as the birth-right
of his fathers and his own. The best
qualities of the Teutonic nations, to
whom the cause of universal civiliza-
ton is intrusted, find their germ in
the genius of the Norman race. 1t
is for that reason that we. should lin
ger reverently through the aisles once
echoing to their tread, by the columns
once darkened with their shadows, the
fortresses that sheltered them while
living, and the tombs that received
them when dead.
Let us never for get that while the
monaStries were preserving the
precious monuments of the old world,
the recesses of baronial heights wit
messed the first essays of literature,
and fostered the earliest productions
CT European imagination, and from the
opening of the 18th century the pros
poets of literature began to brighten,
Gerbert Anselm, Thomas Aquinas,
Scotus, and Roger Bacon were re-
splendent lights to herald yet mightier
names.
France was then the literary center
of Europe; through the Normans, her
language was spread from Sicily to
England, her vernacular literature was
initiated in Germany, and became
naturalized in both Italy and Spain.
The rugged north has always re-
deemed the effete south, and by sue
cession of such almagamations, Sc
cured to humanity perpetual improve
ment. The influence of Norman
genius at the epoch on literature, art,
science, philosophy, and religion of
the word made that fair nation France
the center of light, the sovereign of
thought, the beautifier of life, and the
encyclopedia of civilization; they re-

deemed Italy, ennobled Spain, and
cultivated Gaul The Norman con-
quest was England's Trojan war, an
epoch beyond which our learning
seldom induces our imagination to
ascend. It was arduous deeds done
that lifted it above the dead level of
history, a struggle on the result of
which was staked the dearest interest
of the human race.
The Norman conquest undid Anglo
Saxon Britain, but it made the Eng
land of all the later years, the England
of today. momentous at this present
time, not to England alone, but to all
speakers of the English tongue, now
spread from side to side of the world
in wonderful degree. The physical
and intellectual vigor its glory is of
Norman origin.
Their martial and crystallizing in
fiuence startled Europe and electrified
the Saxon and Celtic world. They
became the type and leaders of west
eTn civilization who famed the
sparks of ancient culture in order to
rekindle the fame of progressive
science.
This marvellous transformation is
the result of the noble, high-spirited,
and observant Normaps with the fresh
blood of a new race of conquerors.
| We can hardly imagine what the
world would be if these Normans had
never existed. If these great con-
querors, statesmen, political econo-
mists, composers, the phi .losophers,
the men of science, the poets, the
original thinkers of Normandy had
never appeared upon the stage of
human life, the education of the hui
man race would have been incomplete,
the intellectual enjoyments of man.
kind would have been curtailed, its
civilization arrested, it's sense of the
beautiful stunted, and it's store of
artistic treasures impoverished and
so we may measure in some degree the
stupendous character of the debt of
gratitude which is owing to the Nor
, mans by the whole civilized world
And when all these wonderful and I'M
paralleled achievements performed by
them are viewed from a British stand
point, l consider it absurd for Eng
lishmen to talk about England" to
honor good King Alfred" by ma
tional commemoration in 1901, king
Alfred" they say, being the founder of
Great Britain's maritime supremacy,
which is perverse and contrary to all
historical accounts; the Saxons, the
Germans, or the Teutonic nations,
with the exception of the mortimer,
hardly knew what vessel on the
ocean was. In those days they were
ell landlubbers.
The Normans have left behind them
the memory of a period of splendour
of dominion, which, even if it does not
keep the imagination their decend-
ants in perpetual glow, remains a
symbol, as monumental as visible and
enduI ing as the human race, and his
tory itself.
The geographical position Of Nor
way, the fountain of this illustrious
Anglo Norman race, as mentioned
above, is worthy of notice, in the
march of civilization, from north to
south, and thence westward to the re-
hottest quarter in the track of the
sun. Her lofty, weird, gigantic snow
capped mountains that stretch their

This means that Carson is to wit
