WESTWARD MOVEMENT

It is interesting and illuminative
to notice what then happened. Did
civilization die out? Did man re-
vert to his original ysavagery? No!
A movement was begun which has
ever since persisted, whereby the
westward movement Of civilization
was assured and the development
of California foreshadowed. CIVIL
zation reasserted itself in the coun-
try westward of Hindustan. Egypt
arose and the Pharaohs exercised
despotic sway over the world. Their
pyramids, rock-hewn temples and
marvellous palaces, remain to this
day as tokens of their supreme
power, yet In time their civilization
fell into decay and was lost and al
most forgotten. Again it moved
westward and Asia Minor became
the scene of the rise of the new
civilization. Then, after their
powers has been exercised to the
uttermost, and their civilization
had reached its maximum height,
1t fell and was no more. The law
of the movement Of civilization
may, by this time, be said to have
become established. Westward 1t
went, never ascending above GER
tain zone lines, and never descend
ing below certain zone lines, and
from that time to the present there
has been no deviation from the es-
tablished order. Greece, Rome, the
Empire, Great Britain, and now
the United States have each, in
turn. been the home of the domi-
nant civilization, and my claim Is
that, ultimately, the highest civil
cation of this country will be found
in the extreme west Of our domain,
sheltered and surrounded by the
Rocky mountains, the deserts and
the Pacific ocean.
INDIVDUALIsTIC
The peculiar isolation and en-
vironment of California speak pos
itively Of this ultimate outcome.
California, the great west, is an in
dividualistic country, shut out from
the rest Of the world by natural
barriers or frontiers. The Rockies,
the Sierras, the deserts, the Pacific
ocean are all boundary marks af-
fording O. certain isolation, easily
overcome, 1t is true, but still set
ting this land out as a region apart.
In its earlier history these barriers
were real. For twenty years after
gold was discovered they had real

PIONEER INFLUENCES

Climate and environment influ-
enced the Greeks, and they pro-
duced artists, poets, orators,
dramatists, architects, statesmen
and philosophers the world has
never yet surpassed. California, be-
ing a larger Greece, will, in the
days Of its full development, tran
scend Greece in all wherein she was
great and powerful. The basis for
this wonderful and new civiliza-
ton, therefore, is found to be in it's
historic destiny and in it's climatic
and geographical environment.
Working hand in hand with these
divinely ordered and prepared ele-
ments was the pioneer epoch Of
California's early history. For
twenty years, practically speaking,
the pioneer influence was the DOM
mating influence in California, and
upon this spirit the foundations
of it's civilization were laid. What
is this pioneer spirit? The history
of the pioneers reveals it. Every
pioneer had to be a man of in
itiative. 1t meant much to leave
home in the settled east and start
out for the wearisome journey to
California, for in those days there
was no easy route. The only
methods of entering California
were: First, by sailing vessel
around Cape Horn, years jour-
ney; second, by steamer to the
isthmus of Panama, across to the
Pacific side and there by steamer
to san Francisco; third, across the
plains in an OK team; fourth, by
steamer or sailing vessel across the
Pacific. Hence, by the time the
pioneer reached California he was
a man made healthy and vigorous
by the life of arduouS travel he had
spent. Foresight was an essential,
in order to provide for the absolute
need of the journey. Physical cour-
age was developed on the trip.
Bravery was forced to the surface
in conflicts with Indians, wild ami
mails and overcoming the natural
obstacles that often seemed as if
animated by a malevolent power
to destroy them.
OUT OF DOORS
They were compelled to become
oAt-of-door men and women and
thus partook of the ruggedness of
the out-of-doors and the greater
spirituality that unconsciously be-
comes the possession of those who
are daily and hourly in close con-
tact with the immediate work of
Gods hands. They were disciplined
by hardship and became cosmopoli-
tan by their contact with so many
diverse and strange people. They
were generous, supplemented, in
dependent in thought, careless of
precedent, inventive, men Of
achievement, just, resolute and
brave.
The spirit of California literature
is the spirit that consciously or
unconsciously has recognized the
historic destiny Of California, has
felt its marvellous environment of
climate and topography and alb
sorbed and imbibed the principles
which animated the pioneers. 1t is
a redeeming spirit, a potent spirit
a God-given spirit that will ulti-
mately possess the world to it's up
lift and inestimable blessing.
Hence the need that we should seek
not only to know it, but to be filled
