the same, so the nation has n moral

responsibility for which hold II bound
to render to the Almighty an account
of its stewardships.
How have the nations of the world
fulfilled theirs trust surrendered by
the creator into their hands? Let
them stand Ill ranks before the
eternal judgment scat-and submit to
the everlasting judge the account of
their national and international trans
actions; let them place before him
the names TO which they have observ-
ed the principles of Justice. OF equity.
of honesty, Of good faith, OF honor.
They have not been left to stumble

God has given n double guide--an
inner called conscience. and an outer
called the church--and .j,ast as these
two judges never fail to point out the
right part for human endeavor, so
he has provided the same internal
and external guidance for nations.
The power OF conscience over the
individual. the experience OF zach man
bears ample testimony-hven the
pagans elouuently described its force
and its origin as they dwet upon its
stern inculcations OF the fundamental
laws Of morality. Old age steals over
our energies, they tell us, but IL never
weakens the voice OF conscience;
other teachers speak to us from
writings and from documents, but the
voice Of conscience speaks to us from
our very nature: other judges, have
at times hesitation in their tones and
an uncertainty in their steps. the voice
of conscience In never baking and
never uncertain, nut with 'he firm

Now while individuals cannot run
away from the pleadings of con-
science, yet they can turn a deaf ear
to its demands and fling defiance at
It's mandates. In like manner the
nations may calmly acquiesce in
wrons-doing and inaugurate policies
in utter violation OF the fundamen-
tail principles OF right. righteous
history OF the world is largely an
unbroken line of wrongs perpetrated
by stronger nations upon weaker ones.
How then are these evils to be
avoided ?---only by keeping the
national conscience clear and
vigorous, firm and fearless and this
happy result can be best achieved by
three remarkable agencies for train
ing and guiding the national con-
science--the church. the school and
the press. The church with its voice
ever announcing in clear; vigorous
language the eternal principles Of JUS
tice, and of right,--the school. firmly
moulding the country's youth In
habits of personal integrity and Of
civic probity, and the press--bravely
championing the Hottest ideals OF
Christian civilization and fc,rlessly
tienouncing the foes OF true freedom
and of national houor.
