The point OF this story makes evident
the fact that the persons who planned
this unsuccessful meeting did not lay
stress on the one important detail-the
location Of the clock. II reminds one OF

store when the store has three entrances

are two dining rooms. in the reception

The Modern Aristotle
BY REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

THE publication of Jean Bodin's
Republic" at Paris S36 years
ago will ever mark the real
beginning of modern philosophic
thinking.
Bodin, born at Anglers in 1880,
began life as a lawyer, but taking a
dislike to that profession, turned to
literature, in which province he was
destined to do an immense amount
of good besides making for himself
an abiding fame.
Devoting himself to political
economy, and later on to political
science in the broadcast and most
comprehensive sense, he came to be
recognized as the Modern Aris-
totle." His Republic" has the high
and unique honor of being the first
attempt at reproducing the great
Stagivites ideas upon society and
government For 1000 years the
work of the mightiest thinker of
antiquity had been practically for
gotten, and IT was Bodin who re-
vived it and made it once more a
power in the world.
Aristotle, Bodin, Montesquieu!
Such, according to Sir William
Hamilton, is the great triumvi-
rate" in the field of political science,
the three names that loom above
all others. Going to the immortal
old Greek as to the fountain head,
Bodin, inspired by what he found
there, added much that was origi-
nal, and leaving his work behind
him in his Republic" prepared the
way for the lllustrious Monies
quieu, the teacher of all who since
his time have written upon the sub
ject of political science.
Humanity's debt of gratitude to
Bodin is a large one. In more ways
than one he toiled nightly for the
mental and moral uplift of man
kind. He battled for freedom of
conscience, for justice and for
