To honor the king.


Carlyle's is false etymology which
sees In king the man who can. The
king Is the man who Is god on earth.
the superman while yet beneath these
glimpses Of the moon. In many early
societies the king is the father Of the
family, or of some type readily recog-
nizable as in devolution from that posi-
ton. This COMFORTS with DIR. Frazer's
reading Of primitive belief and prac-
tice. Even as god. so does the father
give life. Even as god. when duly pro-
pitiated, gives success in the affairs Of
life. so does the father by the exercise
Of the same power. In fact the king
power Of the living father becomes the
divine power by the passage of the
father out Of life. The attribute en-
dures beyond the life OF him who pos
sesses 1t. thus 1t Is added to the store
Of such attributes existing outside Of
human life. therefore in the region. Of
the divine.
Where the whole community Is en-
gagged upon the same few industries and
shares equally the possession Of the few
small necessary arts the differences In
success depend upon the extent Of ex-
perience. In practical conditions expe-
~

the more probable Is his success Thus

The pestilence that walketh in dark

The pestilence that walketh in dark
ness.
To the savage In the heart of his
savagery life is a tangle of compli-
cations. 1t Is wholly inaccurate TO
imagine that in the absence OF laws
and a constabulary man is free TO fol-
low out his impulses. None is more
rigidly ruled than the savage, none is
less free than the man whose home is
in the wild places Of the earth and
beyond the reach OF meddlinC neigh.
bors. 1t is not man that he fears. for
man he can comprehend; ne knows
what man can do. But nature Is Allied
with portents; the birds of the air and
the fish OF the sea and the beasts of the
wild are hardly to be comprehended;
they have powers which elude him:
there remains always something which
terrifes: the great woods and the broad
plains and the ranges of mountains are
beyond his comprehension. God and
man function in the inverse ratio: the
more man knows and can do the less
burden OF occupation does he put upon
his god. the more ignorant the man the
more Industrious his god. The god of
the ignorant savage is the expression
Of his Ignorance.
