wide peace would mean degeneracy !
and be a misfortune for the human |
race"
Thus the nations Of he earth have
all the definitene,s ii the tramp's !
journeyings-no settled goal, but a
zig-zag course. We have no clear
ideal of the purpose of God for the
nations, and, as citizens of the great
commonwealth, no self discipline and
self-urging toward the goal of his
tory for the world. Yet we do seek to
apprehend this goal in blind grouping.
Else what means our efforts at law
making? rhe congress Of the United |
States and the various legislatures
will this winter add about $4,000 new
laws to our statute books covering
as much as $4,000 PAGES We have
in our schools, above oLl high school |
universities, colleges, professional, |
normal, art and music schools, $685., !
900 students, seeking ar education of
worth while, the goal CT individual, !
social, national and world life. But
Professor Muirhead insists, that in
most cases, 1.-THE soul comes still
born from the school,"
Why not take the words of Emanuel
Kant, the greatest philosopher since
Plato, Gf we have lost faith in Jesus
Christi and seek to make his views
real. He said, 1.-THE idea of human
history, viewed as founded upon
universal plan in nature, gives us a
new ground of hope and opens up to
us a consoling view of the future, in
which the human race appeares in the
far distance as having worked itself
up to a condition in which all the
germs implanted in its nature will
be fully developed and lis destiny on
earth fulfilled"
The teaching of Jesus afford the
aim, the principles ard the motive
power for realizing the world-ideal
after which men are grouping today.
Today, almost, we are masters of
the centuries in thought Almost we
are mighty in realization. Almost!
But failure is terrible indeed Real
attainment lies beyond us. Learning
would have reached the goal if it
could, but it has failed. But let
learning pass into loyalty to truth,
observation into obedience to Gods
will, and we shall see the coming of
the Kingdom for which we have long
prayed Either the visions of Isaiah
and Micah and the teachings of Je-
sus were true or they were not true
If they are not true let us have done
with them and go back to barbarism.
If they are true, then let us go for
ward in faith and deed to their real
