Tests of Civilization.

It is only vulgar minds that mistake
bigness for greatness, for greatness is
OF the soul not Of the body. In the
judgment which history will hereafter
pass upon the forty centuries Of record
ed progress toward civilization that
now lie behind Us, what are the tests
1t viii apply to determine the true
greatness Of people? Not population,
not territory, not wealth, not military
power. Rather win history ask: What
examples Of lofty character and un-
selfish devotion to honor and duty has
q people given? What has It done to
increase the volume Of knowledge?
What thoughts and what ideals Of per
manent value and unexhausted fertility
has it produced In poetry, music. and
the other arts TO be an unfaiIing source
OF enjoyment to posterity? The small
peoples need not fear the application
OF sneh tests.-James Bryce.
