The Worid-Famous Scientist
ORD RosEBERRY, on March /,

r ORD ROSEBERRY, on March l. 1885,
speaking at the Royal Colonial Institute,
- said: I'VE have TO remember that II Is
part of our responsibility and heritage to take
care that the world, so far as 1t can be nodded
by us. should receive the Anglo-SaXon and not
another character" II we inquire what is con.
spicuous in the Anglo-Saxon character. most
people will agree. think, that it is based on
:eyard for neighbors' rights regard
whc' has been the object of our laws and
struggles for centuries.
The Anglo Saxon spirit is essentially one
which makes for fair dealing; the race has
never been race of oppressors. Equity, truth
and Justice have been our watchwords; and,
on the whole. the nation has acted up 10 it's
convictions. II IS this national feeling which
has led TO our taking part in the present war:
rather than see treaty broken, rather than
allow small nation 10 be coerccd into an i'm
moral act by large and powerful one we
have lent our aid TO the French and Russians,
ana We are all prepared 10 support 10 the death
what we al believe to be a righteous cause.
The German view of a nations duties is very
different. and wholly rreconclabe with that
OF the British and Americans. In the first
place, We regard the State as ourselves; we
are the State. Representative government
leads TO this conclusion; if we do not like the
policy Of our representatives we can change
them. But for the German race the State Is an
y,
power over the lives OF Its subjects. 1t is for
the State to determine what is best; with an
army at It's back it is useless TO attempt TO Op.
pose its decisions. The essence OF the leu.
tonic character is TO compel every one 10 obey
what it conceives TO be for the good of tho
community While the Anglo-SaXon motto may
be conceived as live and let live the leu.
tonic command is live as the State would have

The AngloSaXon ideal is the freedom of the

Some would place the Garden Of Eden OF the
Bible in the same locality as the Garden Of
Eden Of Sumer, but then the words east and
eastern must be changed into west and west

swords protecting the east end Of the garden

The idea and Imagery OF Garden OF Eden,

travelled eastward placed their Garden Of Eden
