| Of democracy. The progress of the king

Center of World Movements.
1.-THE United States has been the center
of the world movements. The globe
has been explored, the earth has been
| girdled with steel bands and cables and
trimmed with ribbons Of fire. and an
American has placed his foot upon the
end of the earth. AS the eagle stirs
up her nest, so God has stirred the
human race. All races and tribes are
| in movement. The United States of
| America is in the worlds eye. The
| flood tides of immigration, million
strong. are annually upon us.

ton of humanity. and to this end the
lprogresS of ages tend"
