good and bring blessings out of sin. Nations, If they would be great in the better sense of the term, must intend benefit as we'll as confer it, they must plan advantage, and not leave the re- suits to chance.
 OUR DUTY TO INFERIOR RACES. I take it for granted that our duty to the so-called inferior races is nDt discharged by merely feeding them n times of famine or by contributing to their temporary support when some other calamity overtakes them. A much greater assistance is rendered them when they are led to more elevated plane of thought and activity by ideals which stimulate them to self develop meent The improvement of the people themselves should be the paramount object in all intercourse with the Orient. Among the blessings which the Christian nations are at this time able and in duty bound-to carry to the rest of the world, may mention five; education, knowledge of the science of government arbitration as a substi- ute for war, appreciation of the dig nity of labor and a high conception of life.
 DISTRIBUTION OF EDUCATION.
 
 ing have the United States and Eng land been more clearly helpful than in the advocacy of universal education. If the designs of God are disclosed by His handiwork, then the creation of the human mind is indubitable proof that the Almighty never intended that learning should be monOpolized by few, and he arrays himself against the plans of Jehovah, who would deny intellectual training to any part of the human race? It is a false civilization, not true one. that countenances the permanent separation of society into two distinct classes, the one encour- aged to improve the mind and the oth- CT condemned to hopeless ignorance. Equally false is that conception of in ternational politics which would make the prosperity of one nation depend upon the exploitation of another. While one is not far sighted enough to estimate with accuracy the remote, or even the immediate consequences of human action yet as We can rely upon the principle that each individual prof its rather than loses by the progress and prosperity of his neighbors, so we cannot doubt that it is to the advan- tage of each nation that every other nation shall make the largest possi-
 
 capabilities of it's people.
 No one questions that Japan's in- fiuence has been a beneffcent one since she has emerged from illiteracy and endowed her people with public schools open to all her boys and girls. The transition from a position of ob- scurity into a world power was scarce ly more rapid than her transition from a menace into an ally. China is en- tering upon a similar experience. and am confident that her area of re- form will make her, not d yellow peril but powerful co-labOrer in the inter- national vineyard. In India, in the Philippines, in Egypt and even in Tur-| key. statistics show a gradual exten- sion of education and I trust I will be pardoned if l say that neither the arm tes, nor the navies, nor yet the com merce of our nations. have given us so just claim to the gratitude of the people of Asia as have our school teachers. sent. many of them. by pri- Vate rather than by public funds.
 THE WORLDS LANGUAGE.
 The English language has become the vehicle for the conveyance of gov ernmental truth even more than for the spread of general information, for be- ginning with Magma Charta and con-
  can revolution and the Declaration of Independence down to the present, no language has been so much employed for the propagation of that theory of government which traces government al authority to the consent of the gov erned. Our own nation presents the most illustrious example known to his tory of great population working out it's destiny through laws of it's own making and under officials of it's own choosing, although, I may add, we scarcely go beyond England in rec ognizing the Omnipotence of a parlia- ment fresh from the people. It is diff ficult to overestimate the potency of this conception of government upon the progress of a nation and, in turning the thought of the world away from des- potism to the possibilities of self-gov- ernment, the pioneers of freedom made western civilization possible An idea will sometimes revolutionize an indi- vidual, a community a state. a nation. or even a world. and the idea that man i possesses inalienable rights which the state did not give and which the state ! though it can deny, cannot take away has made millions of human beings stand erect and claim theie God given inheritance. While the era of constitu- tional liberty is ever widening, while the tyranny and insolence of arbitrary power are every year decreasing. the leaders of the worlds thought. not only the English-speaking nations but the other Christian nations as well, have yet much to do in teaching reverence for the will of the majority and re- spect for the public servants upon whom the people bestow authority. THE DOCTRINE OF PEACE.
 The Christian nations must lead the movement for the promotion of peace not only because they are enlisted un- der the banner of the Prince of Peace but also because they have attained
