Civilizations Onward March.

Progress is like the insidious
change from youth to old age, except
that progress does not mean decay.
The change that is almost impercep-
tible and yet memorable is much the
same, however. You will see COM
munity apparently changeless as the
years pass by; and yet. when the
years have gone and you hook back,
there has been change. 1t is not the
same. 1t never will be the same. 1t
can pass through further change. but
it cannot go back. Men look back,
sick sometimes with longing for the
things that we're and that can be no
more; they live the old days in mem
ory-but try as they will they may
not go gack. With intelligent, persis-
tent effort they may retard further
change considerably. but that is the
most they can hope to do. Civiliza-
ton and time will continue the march
in spite of all that man may do

the men of his day may be judged by
posterity to have been standing for
outworn ideals, and so to have him
dered human progress. Demosthenes
was regarded as a great patriot in op-
posing Philip of Macedon. But he was
really the champion of the old idea of
states, while Philip was developing the
project of unifying Greece. For CEN
fury the city-states had been fighting
each other. constantly beset by jeal-
ousies. Their lack of unity was a
great obstacle to progress. Demos
themes was looking backward, not for
