CONFLICTING FORCES.
From the beginning OF civilization
down 20 the present time, there has
been great AN unenuing, irrespres-
sible conflict between the forces of
good and fruits OF evil. some phase
of it has characterized every age and
prevailed in every land Sometimes IL
has been represented IN peaceful eyol-
uluon. sometimes by armed revolt
ton, sometimes In a phase led By a
Martin Luther, sometimes by John
Wesley, an oliver Cromwell, an AOra-
ham Lincoln. The great Civil war that
so greatly imperilled the solidarity Of
the Union, nearly accomplished les
dissolution, was but a resentation
of the never ending conflict between
