exchange OF products. Commerce
took the place OF war as the ruler
OF international policy.
A remarkable result was the
awakening OF mans inventive gen
ius. Until this time IL hal lain
dormant, but when the problem
arose how to get wheat, cotton or
coal most rapidly from the fields
AMI mines to the market, and how
| to increas, the amount AMI dimin-
18Th the expense of manufacture,
the railroad and the steamboat
sprang into existence, AMI mach
merry in an infinite number OF
Ways began to take the place of
| hand labor.
All parts OF the world have been
brought close together. At the be
ginning OF the last century Eng
land was almost as far from New
England as II was when the May
flower brought the Pilgrim Faith
ers to the shores of Massachusetts
Bay. Now the Atlantis a be
crossed In five days. Then II took
a letter nearly n year to come
from China. Now we READ this
morning what happened yesterday
In Picking.

,cy was swept from the seas

which IL now Galveston, seventy
nine steamships, bound TO a s;o'e

or other countless results OF this
mental AMI moral awakening, two
stand out most prominently; the
advance in medical knowledge and
the increase In the number OF
books. The average length OF
mans life has been increased ten
years; AMI following the estab-
iishment OF the first municipal
public library In this country, open
ell in Boston In 1851, there are now
tens of thousands OF such l~itrar'es
anl In some states travelling col
le5tions OF books go 70 the most
remote districts.
But most important AMI far
reaching OF all the results OF this
1ethronement OF Val has been the
arousing of an all-embracing broth
erly feeling, OF which the extinc-
ton OF the s'ave-traie may be
saii to have been the first mani
festation. At the beginning OF the
last century only a few persons
felt the neeis OF the ignorant and
oppressed peoples OF distant heath
en- lands. Now the soldiers of the
Cross, both those who are on the
field, fighting, and those who at
home are actively supporting them
are greater in number than the
men who fought under and
against Napoleon.
The great weapon of this peace
full warfare is the Bible. A hun
bred years ago, when the first BIZ
BILE society was founded, the Scrip
lures hal been translated into
hfty-five languages To-day PEG
pies representing five hundred and
thirty different languages or dia-
lects have a translation, either in
whole or in part; ana the annual
issue OF the twenty-five Bible So
c%ieties is from sixteen to eighteen
million copies. In almost every
part OF the world the darkness of
heatheniom In now lighted by that
most precious boon, a Christian
literature.
When we despair of the times,
let US recall these things that a
single century has wrought The
Youths Companion.
