Inc multitude that heard the warning declared
it was proclamation.
They denounced the voice as the voice Of
heresy. inspired by the evil one.
They had lost the power to distinguish the
scmblance from the reality
Their fury turned them into ravening wolves.
They drove the man from their territory.
He became an exile forced to live among
strangers, who took him in from pity.
The words of the man had not fallen on barren
ground, however.
They lowered into thoughts.
The thoughts softened the hearts of the wolves
And after many years. under the influence of the
thoughts, the wolves became men again.
They recalled the warning of that voice which,
so many years before, they had denounced.
They said, "He wise. He spoke before his
time. But now that we have caught up with him.
let us find him again and bring him into the public
square and place laurel wreath upon his brow"
They sent for him through the city. He was
not there.
no tidings could they find.
They cried aloud his name throughout the
world.
And from little village in far-off country,
where the simple lived, came the news that he was
dead
He had been dead for years and years.
They brought back the body.
They gave it a magnificent funeral.
They had statue raised to the hereto in the
market-placc, where every day the multitude used
to gather.
Soon they became used to seeing the statue in
the market-placc.
They forgot what it stood for.
Meanwhile, there appeared among them
other man with sight. He showed how the figure
in the market-placc had ceased to represent the
truth.
In rage, the people snarled at him and became
wolves again.
The wolves eprowlcd around that statue seek

The figure of the that, in life, they had
once sought to devour they treated with rever-
encc.

History Reneatins Itself

THAT history repeats itself is true if al

AZ tn" present time we are seeing played
the great tragedy of kngcraft There are
many monarchs in the world. but most OF
them arc bound by the limitations of their
states to roles OF comparative insgniiicance
King cannot play at being real King
unless he has a great monarchy back of him.
The Kings themselves seldom raise their
rea ms TO supreme power this is nearly al
ways done by some great tatcsman who pre-
cedes the King and gives him his opportunity
10 play at kingcraft. The two most con-
spicuons examples OF kingcraft in modern
history are those OF France under Louis XIV.
and Prussia under the Emperor William H.
Louis XIV was preceded by Rcheeu. the
greatest OF European statesmen When
Rlchclieu came into power, France was weak
and divided; when he died he left France the
first power in Europe--thc greatest in pres
tigc population and resources Then Louis
XIV. assembled the throne. He did not i'm
mediately go to war; for some years he en-
gagged in fostering the commercial. naval and
military development OF his kingdom But
