" Human history is not a movement in a circle; there is in it, plainly,' ». tendency upward, as if a divine spirit were seekftlg through it an ever higher, and better, and holier expression. Even in the midst of the present great war can we not plainly see a divinvs goodness patiently trying 1o reap a rich harvest of human well-being out of all the terrible sowing of strife and struggle? And it is becoming increasingly manifest that He is not to try in vain. We never could be surer thai God was in human history than we can be to-day."—Tor-onto Guardian.
