people, with the faculty Of pitting
wicked mankind against mankind,
maintained itself, has iiourished and
dominated the greatest races in the
world, and has kept back the march
Of human progress to the point al
which there is the best commercial
profit for her.
Left to peace and progress, France
or Germany or even Spain would
reach 4 height Of excellence In the
fields or thought and activity which
would leave the Angio-SaNon miles
below, and in complete incompetence
in a world in which his special gifts
were useless. II would never do.
We should have such discoveries in
medicine, in applied arts, and in the
realms of thought from the capaei-
Gus minds Of these people that the
Anglo-Saxon would be nowhere with
bis bargains in groceries, his bales
OF cotton. and his magnificent arts
OF advertising. He realizes all this.
and knows that the attainment OF
the Great Ideal is in the wreck OF
wicked humanity. He reckons on
producing a war among his neigh
bors every twenty years; which will
keep them miserable and out OF the
running. And he succeeds in bring
ing It OF every time. ' =
lie Is never tired Of counting up
the merits of his great ideal En-
pre-. The poorest Anglo-Saxon en-
thuses when he tells OF the millions
OF square miles over which his great
race rules, OF the mighty millions of
inhabitants, OF its prodigious wealth
and resources, and OF its Omnipotent
power. The Sun never sets on it,
only rises. He fully realizes that it
IS the greatest Empire in the world;
the greatest that ever was or ever
will be, and that Almighty God ia as
delighted with il as he is himself.
Were you to ask him where his
share Of the immense Empire was
he would push his rough hands
through the holes in his pocket in
surprise. For he is actually poorer
than richer by each great acouisi-
ton; he pays the cost of all and
there is nothing for him but the
IDEAL lie sees his Lord smoking
more cigars and living in a bigger
house and he sings from his patriotic
heart, Rule Britannia, Britons
never, never, never will be Slaves. "
We've seen the glory of the GREAT
IDEAL IN the case Of the famous
Captain Kidd, and how he held il
ever before him. He was a pirate.
yes; but, a British Pirate. He slit
more threats than anybody else
ven Drake, He ripped up stomachs,
and drowned hundreds, and outraged
many women. And we have shown
that he did all OF for mere base
motives; because an Englishman. as
Rudyard Kipling would show, is in
capable Of low, base motives; he did
t all for the pure love of Christ and
His great Empire. We have shown
that he never laid his head down 10
rest without reading a chapter OF the
Book OF Life, no doubt given him
by an earnest English Christian
Mother. If the Church Of England
were not so tied by the precautions
Of the early Reformers he would ere
now have been eanonized; for he
brought much solid gold 10 the EN-
pire.
ABOUT BRITISH IDEALS
We note the endearing character
istic Of piety even among the Grim
inal class, ~so-ealled, in Great Britain.
1t is almost ineonceivable that an
Englishman could transgress the ,
Commandments of the Lord. But we
must suppose that at times he feels
he has TO. Kipling would doubt it.
But Of this you may be sure, that If
he does he is impellcd by no ordin-
airy motives. How powerful is the
grand IDEAL, and how consoling
and |rejoicefull
The celebrated murderer, Charles
Peace, in all his crimes never once
the great IDEAL. He kept
that before him. Between the inter-
walls Of his nefarious operations he
loved to chant over the beautiful
of Moody & Sankev. and en-l
