The English language has become the
vehicle OF governmental truth oven more
than for the spread Of general informa-
tion for beginning With Magma Charter
and continuing through the era Of the
American revolution and the Declaration
Of Independence down 10 the present,
no language has been so muCh employed
for the propagation OF that theory OF
government which traces governmental
authority 20 the consent OF the gov
crued. Our own nation presents the
most iliustriOus example known 10 his
tory Of great population working out
its dcstlny through laws Of ITS own max
ing and undcc officials Of is own choo5-
ing although ! may add. we scarcely
go beyond Engiand IA reeoguizing the
omniporcnce Of Parliament fresh from

the potecy Of this conception OF govern
ment upon the progress OF nation and.
in turning the thought Of the world away

self government the pioueers Of free
dom made western civilization possible.
An idea viii sometimes re9olutionize an
individual. q community state. ma
tion or even "a world. and the idea that
man possesses inalicnable rights which
the state did not give and which the
state. though It can deny. cannot take
away has made millions Of human be-
ings stand erect and claim their sod
given inheritance. While the era OF
constitutional liberty IS ever widening
while the tyranny and insolence of arr
bitrary power are every year decrcas-
ing the leaders OF the worlds thought
not only the English speaking nations
but the other Christian nations as we'll
have yes much 10 do IN teaching rev
erence for the WIN Of The majority aud
ne. u for the public servants upon
whom the people bestow authority
TIE Christian uations must lead the
movement for the promotion OF peace.
not only because they are enlisted under
the banner Of the Prince Of Peace. but
also because they have attained such a
degree Of intelligence that they can no
longer take pride in purely physical
victory. The heller that moral ques-
tions can be settled by the shedding
OF human blood Is a relic Of barbarism
20 doubt rhe dynamic power of righteous

nation which is unwilling to trust It's

which shrinks from TIE presentation OF

than victory 90 war. King Edward has
also shown himself promoter of arbi-
