perhaps, in the natural order of
things, inevitable, but it is certain
that when This war is ended the
United States will be the dominant
power in the world in almost every
department where human activity
is displayed. The alienation of its
tariff policy lately was a prelimi-
nary athletic exercise of its econom-
ic limbs before attempting the in,
dustrial conquest of the world.
Now, all these nations, its industri-
al rivals, have weighted themselves
with a terrible. burden from which
a generation will not see them
released. Mr.. Wells is writing in
the strain of the prophet about the
coming alterations in the map Of
Europe. They are Of little import
ance compared with the fact that
all the economic energies, the intel
lectual powers and aspirations
which made for civilization, sup
pressed in Europe, will have made
their home in the new world. The
sun of humanity is going to rise
brilliantly in the west, and Europe
is at the close of its long day, its
royal domination over the fortunes
of the world. There seems nothing
to prevent this except the impossi-
BILE event of a sudden cessation of
the European riot and an immedi-
ate return to the work of civiliza-
ton How little real restraint has
Christianity exercisedon the ancient
Adam we see now that all the ele-
emental forces have broken loose
from the boundaries within which
the Spirit has tried to chain and
restrict them"
We believe that in the above our
friend is true prophet. Let us fit
ourselves for this new task.simposed
on us by Divine Providence. For
we do not believe that the Almighty
held his hand over this new world
until the fullness of time, and SOW
ed it with the choicest seed of the
nations. without intending to make
it the greatest, last. and best e::per-
iment in human government.-Wal-
