w!2ch has spirtuaGzed the race.
These essential facts no sensible man or woman will attempt to
deny. They are beyond question. But the psychologist should stop
there The mistake he makes 81 in attempting to difcrcntiate between
the emotion as expressed in the varying stages of civilized mankind. He
oycrdoes the matter when he tells us that a woman loved very differ
et a thousand years ago from the way she loved in Sh~akespercS day
or in our own. He takes the umwarranted liberty with facts, he tries
to impose too much on our creduGty when he would tell It's that the
love OF Adrea could not possibly have been the pure and ideaized pas
sion OF a noble-mindcd woman OF to-day, or that there was any less
capacity for true love in a woman OF Du Barry's time than there is
in Zazas era,
As yet this is just what the psychologists insist upon our accept
ing They would have us believe that love, as we understand it in this
first decade of the twentieth century, is as much an Interpretation OF
the age as the factory system or the trusts. They tell us that the wom-
en- who laughed and wept for love in Shakespeare day did not have
the same emotions at all as the women who laugh and weep to-day for
what they call love. They say that the psychology Of the race has
changed so radically, and it has always been in a process OF such radi-
cal change, that it is quite impossible for us to predicate the same
emotions Of any two generations of men and women.
The men and women-particuary women-know better than
this. 1t does not require any exercise OF the imagination to believe
that Adreas love for Kacso, even though that love was spent more
than a thousand years ago in a pagan land, in a proaigate civilization,
was different in the lcast. from what she might experience right here
in Christian New York to-day 70. the same sort OF a man under the
same circumstance.
The difference lies not in the emotions Of the men and women as
felt by themselves, for those emotions are eternal and immutable, but
in the analytical powers of the contemporary poets and playwrghts
who interpret the emotions. Where the interpretations have been
those OF men Of genius we find in them Ubiquitous yerues.

MISUNDERSTANDING

slackcn. understand these words, not as a supernatural prophecy
but as an indication that when the faith in the form OF lie in which
men lived is being replaced by another, when that which is outIvcd
and old is falling off and being replaced by the new, then great dis
~turbanccs, cruehics, frauds, t]reachcries, and every kind of lawIcssncss
must ~unavoidably take place; and in consequence Of this Iawlessncss
love, the most important and necessary quality for the social Lie of
men, must sacken.
This is what is now taking place, not only in Russia but in all the
Christian world. In Russia it has only manifested itself more wildly
and openly, but in all christendom the same is going on, only in a con-
ccaled or latent state.
I think that at present the life OF the Christian nations is close to
the limit dividing the old epoch, which is ending, from the new, which
is beginning. ! think that the great revolution has begun which for
almost 1000 years has been preparing in all chrstendom, a revolution
consisting in he triumph OF true Christianity, and founded upon it the
recognition of the equality OF all and of that true liberty natural to all
rational beings, dsplacing a distorted Christianity and the power of
one portion of mankind and the slavery Of another founded upon it.
The external symptoms OF this | see in the strenuous struggle between
classes in all nations, in the cold cruelty Of the wealthy cxaspcra-
ton and despair Of the poor; the insane, senscless, ever increasing
ornaments of all governments against each other; the spread Of the
unreahzable teachings Of socialism; in the futiity and stupidity Of the
idle discussions and examinations upheld as the most important men
tai activity called science; in the morbid emptiness OF art in all its
manifestations and, above all, not only the absence Of any religion in
the leading spheres. but in the deliberate negation of all religion, and
by the substitution OF the legality OF the oppression Of the weak by
he strong, and therefore in the complete absence Of any rational
guiding principles in life.
Such are the general symptoms of the approaching revolution, o..
rather of That preparedness for revolution which the Christian nations
have attained. The temporary historical symptoms or the final push
which must begin the revolution is the Russo Japanese war, with that
,nc revolutionary movement which never before existed among Rus
slams.

only a question OF time. So it has been with true
Christianity, hidden by state power. For long the

now come and Christianity is destroying the dam
which restrained it. The external symptoms OF the

The bill introduced by Mr., Kendrick
some time ago to make Il supplementary
appropriation for the Confederate ycter-

by a favorable report from the commit
tee on pensions, was taken up. The bill
]appropriatcs $25O,OOO additional each
year, 190G-'07, or Just double the amount
appropriated by the House bill, which
has already been enacted.
Mr.. Grcavcs moved to amend by strik-
ing out 100000 and inserting instead
the sum of $780, 900. The bill az amend.

The bill defining and Furnishing the
