SPREAD OF THE ENGLISH TONGUE.
Mulhall in IS9I estimated the number of English-speaking people at 111,100,000 ; another authority estimates the number using the English language in 1805 at 124,130,000. English is rapidly becoming the fashionable tongue of Europe. It carries with it pure ethics and excellent morals. It creates intense popular loyalty to g-overnment, law and order. It hastens the evolution of man's highest ultimate possibilities. There are shades enotigh in any truthful photograph of the age as it is; but there are also lights, which we must not overlook, that are bright with the potency and prophecy of a glorious future.
