In history.
To the second question ! answer,
No" with this qualification: That
YOU prepare and arrange little SER
les of lectures or talks and discus
sions embracing those phases of Eu-
ropean history that are most closely
entwined with our own early affairs.
Your first talk should be on the
papacy in connection with its tenn
poral prerogatiSes and the so-called
infallible and divine authority to die
tate purely governmental affairs.
Your second should be on the great
revival OF learning or Renaissance
with its attendant doubts and ques-
tionings about the papal authority TO
dictate TO kings and princes. Discuss
simply and intelligenty the explosion
Of the monastic and ascetic ideas of
living by the school of the Humanis;s
Let your next he on the revolution
ary effects of the Reformation and
work of Luther with a brief and con
else account of its terrible but effect
i've restraints upon the church and
the increased and enlarged individual
rights and liberties.
Make your next one as simple an
exposition as possible upon the spe-
rific workings of the Reformation In
England. including an account OF the
final separation of the English church
rom Rome, in the time of Henry VIII.
Then you will find it comparatively
easy to follow ont in more detailed
accounts the religious troubles and
new religious sects that arise. Ex-
plain fully the terms Puritan, Dissent
er. Separatist. Covenanter and the
Established Church. Emphasize the
Importance of religious affairs at that
! ime and show how 1t was Impossible
| FOR those outside the Established
church to remain in England without
suffering the arbitrary penalties i'm
posed upon the Dissenters or living
| he lives of hypocrites and outcasts.
Then you will have laid such
| foundation that our own colonial al
airs will appear in natural and ra-
ional light, and as effect follows
| ,ause. You have in this way also an
unparalleled opportunity to explain in
| telligently and understandingly the
| colonial charters, thus laying prop
n foundation for the further study
| # our civil institutions and laws, and
,ngenderng and stimulating a
healthy interest in our present day
lflairs.
