THE STUDY OF THE CLASSIC Hterature of any language is always a serious pursuit; it is even sometimes an arduous task, hut in the end it affords the student the most exquisite forms of intellectual enjoy­ment. It unveils to his searching eye the minutest shades of nationa.l customs and tastes, an<l makes him personally acquainted, as it were, with the living geni­uses of r'ormer ages. It is not our purport here to enter into a discu~siou of the pro and con of the "Old Clas­sic" question. As the ancient Latin and Greek models partly form the outline of our course of studies we are quite satisfied to follow the course as it is, and thus to enjoy the advantages of a fair, we will not presume to to sn.y thorough, knowledge of the old authors.

* * * IN ORDER TO BECOME familiar with, or even

merely to understand satisfactorily the works offoreign authors, especially of ancient ones, it is oftentimes necessary to read over a few times the page under consideration, and after analyzing and accounting for the word-for-word there is nothing better calcu­lated to make the student understand a11cl relish any of their given works than a synopsis of the same. ·

* * * A "BOY'S FIRST ATTEMPT" in boiling down the

p1·inciples of the "Art of Poetry" will appear in t 'lis number of the Jottmal. The task required at first a. lit­eral translation aml analyzing of that epistle, and then a rendering into Latin of the most essential sayings contained in the whole. The study is divided into four themes of which two are published with only few cor­rections to the student's own labor. vVe do not, of course, wish to palm off our home-made as classic Jatin. Our s~le purpose is, as explained abo-ve, arriving at a clea­rer understanding of the many beauties of this book of Horace.

A SOCIAL DIFFICULTY.

Few will deny that tiH' g~eat labor que tiop, which in years gone by has caused but li ttle trouble and which to-day seem~ to vex the p ublic mo re t lw.n ever, is one of the most difficult of social problem!'. The bi_tter contest wilich at the present is going oil in our country between labor and capital is doing something to rouse up th.e pu bliu mind to a re..'tlization of the true state and con­dition of tLings, · anct to draw t he attention of tbougbt­fu l people to a consider:t tion of the ca u~>es oft~ social distnrl•ant:e, of the proba 1Jie effect s which m:ty flow from it, anrl to an inquiry into those means which might in some way help to r emedy it. Thee vil iscertainlynotone-' of recent dat e. It bRs shown it&elf beforein various shapes and forms, but sehlom .or nev<:r has it assumed such a violent chara.cter or presented ~ueb a threatening as­pect as to-d ay . Moreover it is not a stagnnnt e vil but one g:rowing and 11nxiT'g ~t r( ngrr ev 1 y ) ea r. Each out­brenk mnnifests adrlitimml 8trength an<l consequently new dangers. Labor is rising up :1g.1inst capita l and mnr­sh:tlling :1g:linst her every f(lrce which she can possibly muster; cnpita l in tum bears clown u pon labor wi th ad­diti o nal violence often answering wiLh eru nl brutality a ju -t supplication and not seldom making might victor instead of rigl1t. Tnie, labor sometim es takes wrong means to gain her cnrl :; an1l c:1 pit,tl is so .. ;etimes justi­fied in refu sing her imperious tlemnncb. Lal•or eumc­timcs too ex:1cts more t!:nn is her due, ntHl often pro­chim<; per fect nnrl univer ,1] eq uality whit:ll certainly is in so me cn~es noth ing more than a trampling npon the j ust. rights of other;;. B ut thi dues not change the question. One or the other is always wrong and so the evi l remains the same.

View ing it there tore in its J11'Cfcnl threatening nttitudc we rntumlly nsk wlnt ig its eause. Is it unjust or per­nicious l egi ~:;lati on? or is the evil a kind of necessity wllich :wises out of the nature of thinhrs :md over which the civil antbori ty has no control? The chief and only cnn::;c, we nnower, rloc·s N •t lie in wrung Jrgi~lntion, ~n1l the cxcutivc power of' a ~t:tte has not therefore full and comple te control over tllis socin l ev il.

ftistt~e · dnct a ~i·ongid~ of what constlt:~tes the right; bf others. Now~a-days self-interest seems to have l•ecome a god to whom all pay homage. "Every man for h:ni­self and the <levil t~}l::e the, hind.most" is the great motto which is too g eh¢ra1ly. followed. "The end justifies the means;' is ano'tber Wh.ich we dafly hear and which S>tnC-

. tions eve.tj' ' ~p'E!cfeHI Wrong doing provided good· of some kind 're.sult fi•om it. Men think too much of them­selves and•too Uttle of their neighbor. The vice of in­justice )tnd robbery b:is obtained such a firm hold in the hearts of most people that the virtue of charity is completely ignored. The father's advice to his son illus­·trates ·very forpibly the true nature of this great evil, thisg-en!'}ral corruption. which somehow or other has crept into men's hearts. "My son," he says, "get money; and if you can't get it, get it' anyhow." Yes, ••get it anyhow' ' whether by fair means or foul. If by so doing you de­fraud your neighbor and so perhaps bring want and suf­fering to the homes of many, mind not. The mighty d~llar must be had at any rate.

J)o we not now perceive in this the root of all the evil? Is it not this greeq after gain that has turned men from the observance. of those great pdnciples of j•1stice

. which. sl1ould govern every . cbrist.ian people in their dealings with one MOther? Most assuredly. They are lllinded with sl'lf~interest and so cannot perceive; much Jess perfi)l·m , those things which justice and charity dic­tate. T o the cries of the poor and suffering, even of those who are suffering at their very hrrnds, they turn .a <i cftf e:u. Only the voice of their own selfishness they hem· or wish to hear.

This then we judge to be the prim ary cause of the great evil wlJich now threatens society, and against the fnrther progre~s of which it seems so hard to combat. Its possible or even probable effects may be easily fore­::>een. Several millions of people of the best sinew and hone of the land, crushed under the heel o£ moneyed · despots and driven: to desp!l.ration by sheer want, may, in a country like this; where the right of suffrage is guaranteed to all, effect such a change, in a very short time, as would make .communists aud sochtlists rejoice. In a period of great political excitement for instance, when the prejudices of the laboring ·classes have been

. strongly aroused, when old enmities existing betw~en 'them and capitalists have been again brought forward and exaggerated, and when perhapsprcsentenmities and · jealousies run high, would it not under such circum­stances be possible for political demagogues to so influ­ence that generally not highly educated mass as to in­d nee them to place in the senate or house ofrepresenta­tives a body of men who would perhaps justify their acts by sucb: a declaration as this: "There is no natural

· right of property" or this : '·In the· beginning civil Jaw

. divided property and it has the same power yet.'' True

. itis, we have no fears of communism, of socialism for many years to come; but still the evil is there and con­stantly growing and assuming greater proportions every day, so that if left unchE?cked it is possible that some~ thing might be the consequence. The American people are not socialistic; but just as a person in great suffer­ing may through pure despair take, medicine which ill­stead of curing the pain will only intensify it, so a peo­ple driven to desperation may in a moment of great excitement take :steps which instead of making thing~

better would only make them worse. This is the one great consequence which is most to be dreaded. Others there are of a less formidable nature wl:)ich are the im­mediate and continual outgrowth ofthe contest:between labor and capital, and which though not amounting to a great public calamity, are still sufficiently pernicious and dangerou~ to meet with a ready and uncompromis­ing concl'E·.mnation. These are for instance the . destruc­tion of property, incendiarism, bloodshed and so!Ile­times even wholesale murder. They follow in the wake of every SO' called "strike,'' and as the strike is nothing more than a collision between labor and capital, they 'are rightly enumerated among the sad effect~ which flow from the great evil of whi<::h we speak.

Henct'l we see the magnitude of the danger and the need of a speedy cute. But have we a remedy at band capable of acting effectually against ::;LlCh a formidable disease. Have we within our reach a force whieh can successfully overcome the evil and so eradicate it? We·. have already said that bad legislatiqn was not its chief and primary cause; neither will good legislation be its· chief and primary cure. Jnst as bad legislation may fur~ nish an occasion for the existence of the evil by unjust­ly favoring corporations or monopolies; so good legisla­tion may have this effect of removing the occasion, by for instance · expanding the functions of the govern­ment and causing it to do things which private capital now docs, we see how successfully the postal service is now carried on in this country under the immediate supervision or'the gonrnment. Why could not the railway service be conducted in the same way ? In many co~ntries· it is ;and if it were so done in this there would be fewer mo­neyed despots,fewer Vanderbilts and Goulds. But no mat­ter how much the state takesintoherown hands, there will still be something left in vvhich private capital can exert its energies, and so build up for itself an empire prac­tica1ly boundless. 'l'he evil therefore would still remain 1

and labor and capital ·would still be arrayed in bitter hostility against each other. Practically speaking then, state authority caunot root out the ev il wholly and en­tirely; it cannot reach its true souree which is not an ex­ternal tangible thing but rather an internal moral dis--

HIRONDELLES.

Le printempa sourit à la terre,

Le cieli?lus pur, avec ses pleurs,

Répand. des torrents de lumière;

Et la plaine, triste naguère,

Semble une corbeille de fleurs.

Déjà sur la l>ranche fleurie,

L'oiseau porte des fils soyeux

Qn'illie à la mousse flétrie

Pour dresser sa tente chérie,

D'l•ù s'élancent des cris joyeux.

Vous seules, ô mE>s hirondelles,

N'êtes pas encor de retour.

Ne me seriez-vous plus fidèles?

Pourtant les so,trces sont si belles

Et si radieux est. le jour!

Jamais une balle assassine

Ne porta clans votre séjour

L'a.tlllction et la ruine;

C'est là que ma main vous destine

Les caresses de m<Jn amour.

L'homme vous aime et vous révère.

Vous êtes libres en to"t lieu_

Vos nids pendent à la chaumière

l!:t partout la voix populaire

Vous nomme les "oiseaux de Dieu."

Car lorsque, sur la croix sanglante,

Mourait, trahi par l'amitié,

Jésus, la victime innocente,

Seules, à sa plainte expirante,

Vous vous émfitE>s de pitié.

Ou dit qu'alors, !ombre, chagrine,

Une légion de vos sœurs

Brisait la couronne d'épine

Qui perçait la face divine

Et de 1 'alle essuyait ses pleurs.

Et que, ranimant sa faiblesse,

Le Sauveur, avant leur départ,

D'une parole de tendresse

Daigna consoler leur tristesse,

Les bénir d'un dernier regard.

Et depuis, ô truupes charmantes,

Vous ne redoutez plus nos coups.

Aux cieux, vous volez triomphantes,

Et malheur aux mains malfaisantes

Qui blessent l'une d'entre voui1

Laissez donc vos loima!ns rival(es.

Suspendez Ici votre voL

Roucoulez vos plus gals ramages.

Disparaissez dans les nuages,

Puis :rewene.z raS& le sol,

.T'aime tant oo Tlant dédale

Qu 'en votre .gracieux essor

Vous traeez avee la ra.fale,

Lorsque l'aurore matiiuale

Dans les airs vous ramène en<:orl

Mais en vain ma vue anxieuse

Vous demande depuis longtemps;

Au eiel pas d'aile voyageuse

Ne distrrutt mon âme ~:êveuse:

Ne tardez plus, je vous at1lends~

LES LIS DE VOURLES.

Le P . Marsile, lors de son Toya~ eu Franœ, a em­porté des lis du jardin de la Comm:mauté. Quelques uns ont été donnés à des amis du Canad~t et d' ici, Qù ils fle uriront, odorants souvenirs de l'ancienne mère Patrie et de la jeune famille de St. Viateur. Deux de ces char­mantes plantes oont. main.tenant en fleur dans la chapelle du Collège. Depuis longtemps, leurs tiges s'élevaient frêles et gracieuses et prenaient tous les jours de nouvelles feuilles: on aurait dit autant d'ailes d'éméraude s'apprêtant à porter la blanche fleur au ciel. Peu t'l. peu, les boutons ont pris des teinteo d' ivoire

de l'bistnire de France pas un seul pent-être, n'excite autant d'admir:ttion que celni de J ea.nne d'Arc. La v i., de cette hcroYn e est le plus henu poôme nrtt ional qu'uit

Voil:\ pour quoi depuis quatre siècles la p opularité 'de Jeanne d'Arc a to ujours été g rnnclissante. L' histoire, la poés ie et les arts ont beaucoup contribu é --;)ï:épandre sa gloire et a rendre son nom célèbre. Aujourd' hui l'ad­miration est universelle.

LE ROLE PROVIDENTIEL DE LA FRANCE.

(Continué) 4ième PARTI~':.

La Fmnce1 que nous 1wez vue élevée nu f:~îte del.'l. gloire et de la pnit~sance, roule tout :\ eoup dans nn précipice de malheurs inouïs. Pendant un siècle, ce n'est qu'tm enchaînement: cte revers qni h cnndui:;e ;,

une ruine éminente. C'en éta it fait du royaume des lis; 1m miracle seul pouvait le sa.uver: Dieu le fit, et pour que son intervention fut incontestable, 'il sè servit du bras d'une femme. Il appela Jeanne d'Arc de la garde de ses troupean:::s::, et la plaça à la tête des derniers débris des armées Françaises pour en faire la terreur tles An­ghis, la libératrice ùe ~on pny' etl'admirationdessit cl es!

Les desseins de Dieu étaient accomplis. La France avait repris sou auLique splendeur, ranimé sa foi engour­die, source de ses infortunes et était prête à combattre la nouvel ennemi qui allait se lever contre la religion! C'étnit le syst€me d 'erreurs qu'avait enfanté les passions d'un moine orgueilleux et rl 'un roi adultère, c'était la prétendue Réforme, le Protestantisme! La France mit un siècle ct demi :l. le vaincre, Tantot réduite !LYCc la Ligue :l sc retran cher dans une capitale affamée: tantôt pleine de force sous Richelieu, elle l'emporta cufin s11r cc redoutable ad versai re qui menaçait de scinder l'unité de J'Etat et de l'Eglise Gallicane. Et pour couf·onne­ment de ces luttes gigantesque~, apparaît Louis XIV, escorté d"nne foule incomparable de génies! Et comme désormais le triomphe des peuples doit sc décider plutôt par la supériorité des intelligences que par celle des armes, le grand siècle littéraire élève auclessus de tonte ci vili s::ttiou, la civilisation Française. Les armées de la France pourront dans la suite être humiliées; m11.is ses idées domineront toujour:;; c'est la source oü viendron t s'a br eu ver les nations. C'est le foyer qni écla-irera le monde !

La Frnuce eu affaiblissant les conséquences si désas­trenscs du Protestantisme pour les âmes et le ' societés, s'est montrée fidèle ù. sa mission religieuse ct civilisa­trice. Car il est Lout :\ f:1it f:.wx de dire comme certains écrivains, que le Protcstanti~me est plus favorable que le Catholicisme nu prcgrès ct à la liberté. Avant la nais­sauce de la réforme, les institutions civiles et politiques, toutes les branches des connaissances étaient nées, [n·ll.ient prosp6ré eu Europe sous l'influence de la religion Catholique. Ou v rez le., pnges de l'Histoire ct vous y ver ­rez p:wtout le.:; formes · repré~entatives sous les noms J'Etats Généraux, de Cortèses, de Parlements ou de Diètes. Vous y verrez même sur cette terre de l'Italie, ou la Papanlé a son siège, fleurir les glorieuses républi­ques de Gènes, de Venise, clc Florence; tandis que là oi\ le Prote.stau tismc prend racine, s'implautent l'aris­tocratie et b tyrannie: cvnsitlérc;, ce qui s'est pass t.,., en Allemagne et rn Angleterre. Le Protestantisme, e11 brisnnt les liens morau:::s::, a nécessité le commandement central et inauguré Je p0uvoir absoln. La liberté quil a donné<', c'est la liberté des Henri VIII et rles ElisabutiJ, c'est à dire le rlespo tisme le plus illimité, le servilisme le plus rl égrarlant.. Mais le malbem snrtout, l'irr6parable, mnl!teur c'estqne le Protestantism e' a bris<.'~ l'hom• 'gj! niL(· de

la civilisation Européenne, à laquelle tendaient alors­tontes les natio'ns, et qu i aurait ét .~ port?e à sa perfec­tion, par l'effet de la rapidit0 croissante des communi­cations inte!Jectuelles et matérielles. Ah! quels prodiges cette unité, cette fraternité des peuples n'aurait-elle pas opérés! Sans don te maintenant, tout les grands problèmei' politiques auraient été résolus clans le SCBS de la liberté .; tant de guerres religieuses, qui ont baign\~ dans le sang des pays entiers, auraient ét é éparguées, et, au lieu de quelques nations prévilégiées, toutes a ujcurd'hui se re­puseraient à l'ombre de l'arbre majestueux de la civili­sation Cntholique qui convrira it l'uni vers de ses ra­meaux bienfaisants:

5ième PARTIE.

Maintenant la Franc(;-. entre dans une phase nou­velle; elle va chauger son drapeau et renier tout son glorieux pa~sé . Elle était le bouclier de la foi, elle sera le porte-étandard de l'impieté; ellè s'appelait la fille alllée de l 'Eglise, cliP- se nommera la mère de la Révolu­tion! La voilà à l'œuvre. Les chefs qui l.a guideront dans cette voie criminelle seront Voltaire et Rousseau, ces deux hommes clant le front est marqué du stigmate de la corruption et de l'imfamie, dont la parole n'est qu'tm mensonge et une contradiction perpétnE>ls; et là France les croira! et sur sa bouche passera le .ricannement de l'enfer!

Pendal1t près d'un demi siècle, elle laissa ces aucla cieux cl ém~lisseurs ébranchet les bases de l' édifke so­cial; leurs mains sacrilège& arrachèrent de son noble frout la lumineuse couronne de sa foi, et trainèrent dans la boue toutes ses gloires les pl us pures! iHàis c'en est trop, l'ltenre de l'expiation, l'heure du châtiment va sonner. Entendez-vous les mugissements de cet ouragan formidable ? il s'approche, il se cl échn,îne avec une fu ­reur inconnue. Rien sur toute la surface du sol fi-ançais ne résiste r\ son souffle destructeur. Le trône de ~t.

Louis, quatorze fois séculaire, croule avec un fracas . épouvantable; les ·temples sont 'envahis par une foule

impie, les autels sont souillés et renversés; en quelques années, tout a disparu cbns lê gouffre bâant cl'e la Révo­lntion !

C'est alors que la phi losophi è incrédule, qui déclhme toujours contre la ty'rannie de l'égli se, commence à fa ire sentir les doucems de son règne, le règne des proscrip_ tions, de la guillotine et des noyades, Les prisons, bien autrement horribles que la Bastille, regorgent d'innocents qui attendent leur tour pour monter sur l'échafaud érigé en permanence. La fraternité philo;;opbique con­siste à r épandre ln sang des prêtres et des nobles: la charité est remplacée par la philantropie, l'Evangile pnr le Contrat S0cial, la foi par. l'athéisme! Mais que clis-je? l'athéisme sincère est impossible; et. tant il est vrai que l'adoration est un besoin indispensahl~c> au cœur humain, que l'on a vu la nation, qui naguère adorait le Dieu dfls

P.ascal_et des Bossuet·, p.rosternée aux pieds d'une idole ùe chaire! Ab l voila bien l'abîme insondable où l'absence de toute rdigion précipit.e les rois ·et les peui)les! On ne saurait retmnchet· impunément Dieu de là socjeté. C"ést une loi dont la vérité à été reconnue .paries plus ilfus­tres génies et attestée par la chüte des plus flprissaats emrlires.

La France, était donc perdue si Dieu n'eut suscité un homme capable de la relever de ses ruines. Cet instru­ment divin, l' égal des Alexandre et des César, reconnais­sant rïmpossibilité de tout gouvernement qui n'a pas la religion pour premier fondement, d'une mavl balaya cette tourbe révolutionnaire et de l'autre revela le trône et l'autel. Mais fallait il qu'àpres une si Pffroyable leçon, lui-mên..e devînt le persécuteur ëlêôette croyanc~ dopt il avait reconnu l'absolue nécessité et dont le chef l'avait couronné du diadème de eharlemagne. Hélas! la pros peri té et :l'ambition l'aveuglèrent ]usq u 'à ce point; Défiant les excomunications pontHicales de ·'pouvoir faire tomber les armes des mains de ses soldats, il les vit. sécbapper une à une des mains de hi Grande Armée qui s'eng lo-utit sous les neiges de la Hussie, et lui, cet astre de g loire qui avait éclairé deux mondes, all a s'étein­dre dans les ondes de l'Atlantique!

Depuis, la France a vu bien tles foi s changer >,es des­tinées, sans toutefois reprendre sincèrement son ancien­ne mi~sion, Pourtant l'avènement de Napoleon III, qui fut signalé par le rétablissement de Pie lX sur son trône d'où il avait été traiteuseme,nt rer.versé, promet­tait un réparateur des torts de son ruyal oncle et présa­geait à la France et à l'Eglise le retour des brilbuts jours d'autrefois; mais les bombes d'Orsini vim-ent mal­hemeusement le jeter dans les bras des societés secrètes, qni le dominèrent ensuite presqu'entièrement. (::e fut sons leur pression que, le 4 Septembre, 1870, jour qui verra la fin de son l'ègne, fut signée cette odieqse con­vention qui préludait à l'unité italienne et à la chûte de la P<tpauté; mais aussi le jour où il conilommcra sa h\che trahison, en rapp~lant ses troupes de Rome, ·com­mencera cette longue chaîne de défaites qui se tennin~­ra à Sad an! Digitus De,i est hic! oui! le doit de Dien est ici. Quand la guerre éclata, Napoleon était univer­sellemement proclamé le plus puissant des potentats, ~t

le p lus habile des diplomates; la victob·e lt,lÏ semblait assurée. Mais voilà que· tout à coup elle déserte ciCS dra­pe:Lux, que l'erreur plane dans ses conseils et la France est plongée dans un déluge de calamités. Ah! c'Est qtie Dien attendait là Napoleon. Les cau~es premières de ces revers inouïs ne som pas dues au défaut d'organisation; mais c'est que, Napoléon étant devenu un instrument inutile entre les n1.ains de la Providence, Dieu répandit sur lui l'esprit cl'avengleme:nt et de vertige et le précipita dans cet abîme qn'il s'était !ni-même creusé.

tering, hurrying Americ11,n of to-day. There is· haste in everytb,ing. '\Ve lose temper if vie C~J,nnot dn·sh along at the rate of forty .mil_es an hom ; w.hile a newspap0r giving us news two days old is utterly disgus ting. At home, a.t church, on the street, in 'sclroo], iu bt1siness as well as in professional life, everywhere, we clash .along u ttcrly regardless of the con seq uenees.

The free AmericarJ air we breathe seems t0 in£ use the same spirit. In less time ·than it took the Romans to become penn:1nently established in their new city, we h::we 5prung from not,hingt)ess to nn znv•itlble place among the nat.ions of the c:trth . . Our co.nnt~·y has . seen but one centennial, yet, in many respects, we lead Eu­rope witl• .Uer thonsanc1 years of growth ancl expedence· Not long ngo son1e of our gre:tt western cities were not to to be found on maps; to-da:r they are cenkes of trades. All these considerations fi:ll the American heart witll a restless, bustling activ ity.

In .commerce this spirit is highly desireable;, unfortu­nately its influence is being felt in the ·school-room. The lm1g ye~rs of patient study once thought neceessary to develop the faeulties of the student are, in the glare of 19tu, centnl-y progress, looked upon as r elics of the · clays of slow sailing vessel~ and old lumbering stage­coaehes. Modern BJr,ckstones .and Harveyfl cmisider . the unceasing diligence of tb~ir forefathers as so much unnecess!ll'y labor and think a common school education, supplemented by a two-yenrs special conrse, amply ' sufficicut to enable them to settle· 'all ·intricacies of law c'r diagno,e successfu lly nll the " ills tbt flesh is heir too."

This is not as it shonlLl be, The old S1J.Y ing; ''There is no royal road to learn ing" is just as tnce to- d:Jy ns it ·ever \Y::JS. A 5tudent may tly through space on ~ the wings of the wind, yet he will require as long ~ ,time to unravel the mystery of the pons asinorum as . it took the rising \ ·ener:ttion of a less-favored age. With all the mcclern a.ids and flpplinnces, he cannot rlo away with drag and strain of contitnious a·ppl ication, ·

To-clay, more than ever, we neec1 men, trained by rigorous intellectu.'tl e~er,c.ise, to u:phold the principles of hnmnnity and justice; 1>11:i.rit1s .cil,pnbJ.e o£ ,exposing the thousand sophistries that seek to 11»ass as cnrrent truth; hearts. scl:uoJed to endure t rhlls mwl b,ea.r the brunt ,of· the great strnggle betwee-n right and w1:o.ng. Such minds 1

and such hearts· are not funned by the tmpe,r.fect train. · ing t1sually given to the American youth. Ahl that is 1

gr,;at in the world has been effected only afte-r weary ' waiti.ng. Tl;e chosen people of God spent 40 yea rs in 1

·the desert before the beauties. o:[ th'l promi8ed lantl broke upon their gnze. Forty centuries of expectation rolled by before the long-sought messiah appeard, and even then it was only after 30 yean; of seclusion that he began prcnching the g lad tidings of the gospel.

And all tbnt is tnllJ'. go&d · {J;ntl ·gr.eilt in oul: ' mod:ern civilizrttion has been grrudnally aFtcT 's:IO'w}y· lncorpota• ted into the daily life uf men. N0twi;thst~nclirlg tbes.e lessons of the phst,, onr :::c'bool-boj·~ cpafe '~nt:ler ( their wbol~some restr>~int ancl rush into tke w6rkl' ·with a eharncter half-fonncd, with a mi11d ·uri'tut61'ed a:mi ·a s.oul that grows despondent Rt t\:ie :trrst approneh 0! suffering. This is a .sad thought, espednlly when we cons'ider that on the rising generation tlevolves the stern duty of facing the so.cial ·storm whose row rmnbling is now heard in the distance. An'd wl1en that wbit]wincl of

socialis~~ anfl infi~elity is upon our cobritry, ba~~f wH1 she be ti her national c'hn racter, dee:p-rooted lP true le:•rning and virtue, stands firm .as the oak defying the blnsts that strike in vain. ~

But cha1'acters of this mould are not perfpcted sud­denly. Season after season of slow, tedious. growth li(l'C

ne'cessary to change the acorn into the towering ·mon­arch of the forest; so, many" stages of life must be ' ·pa­tiently and studiously passed through l,Jef9re the weak: babe becomes. the nnflincbing patriot q1' the inconopti._ ble stntesmnn. ' ·

If then our boys would b.ecome men, Jet them wait and labor unknown until the time for nction comes; nncl, when it does come they will then· prove themselves tli0 worthy offBpt'ing of that glorious ancestry wh?se un­

paralleled deeds have given Concord , Valley Forge and Ymktown to history .
