No social revolution and no laws of men could save Society from the corruption, the degradation, and the moral paralysis that afflicted it. Humanity required a Divine healing balm. Nations must recc-guise that tho highest civilisation is, that which makes for the elevation and conservation of national character and righteousness. The ideal placed before individuals, as imagined in the life and death of tho Saviour, was not to rule, but to serve. Living in an atmosphere that was very human, they must not only continually aspire to a Divine and higher existence, but must go down to the very depths of human'life and see its sorrows and its miseries, and, by personal service, lift up the weak, the fallen, the outcasts, and the children. -Society required no drastic Socialistic revolutions; it required a Christian renovation and a true adjustment between the rights of property and rights of life. Let each begin with himself. They might not all have the stigmata on their hands and feet, but they could, at least like Simon and Cyrenean, have the marks of the Cross upon their shoulders. In faith, in hope, and in love, let them do unto others as they would have others do unto them, and they would soon come to recognise that a life spent in tho service of humanity for Christ's sake, conferred not only Divinest liberty, but also power—not the power to rule and to oppress, but the power to bless and to elevate.
