which Is uppermosl in my mlhd 10
Iutett. No one can travel among the
dara.sljnncd races of the Orient with
ON feeling that the white man occu-
MES an especially favored position
among the children Of men and tae
recognition of this fact Is accom-
panied by the conviction that there y
u duty insaparably connected with
l4aa advantages enjoyedf There IS 4
white mans burden--a burden when
tha white man should not shiIk even
If he could a burden which he could
NOT shrk even If he would. That no
one Hvath unto himself or dieth unto
himself has a national as well a. an
individual application. Our destlhles

all others.
Il take It for granted that our duly

discharged by merely feeding them IN
times Of famine or by contributing 70
their temporary support when some
other calamity overtakes them. \
much greater assistance is rendered
them when they are led 70 more

development. THE improvement OF
the people themselves should be the

science Of Government, arbitration al
a substitute for war, appreciation Of

ception of life.
Education comes first, and iii moth
ing have the United States and Eng
land been more clearly helpful than IN
the advocacy of universal education
/ Ii the designs Of God are disclosed by
! His handiwork. then the creation OF
the human mind is indubitable proof
THAT the Almighty never intended thai
learning should he monopolized by g
few. and he arrays himself against
The plans Of Jehovah, who would deny
intellectual training to any part o
the human race? IT is false civil
i1ation not a true enc, that counter
ances the permanent separation Of SO
cety into two distinct classes, the ono
encouraged to improve the mind ant
ihe other condemned to hopeless IL
noranee. Equally false Is that con
ception of international politics which
would make the prosperity Of one ma
ton depend upon the exploitation OF
another While now one is far sighted
enough TO estimate with accuracy the
remote. or even the immediate con
sequences # human action, yet as W,
can rely upon the principle that each
individual profits rather than loses bl
