"NOT NIETZSCHE, BUT CHRIST."

"Not Nietzsche, but Christ, does Russia follow. The gr^ntpst r"»n of history, such as NanoleoTi, Charlemagne, Julius Caesar, HanniKM. Alexander and Sssostris. were small and insignificant in their influence when, compared with thl^ strength and the mag- ! nanimity of Him who tauerht men to ]nve ore another, and to do good to ; those that hate, blaspheme, and ralum- ' niate us," writes s Afr John Butler Burke. M.A., in the New Age. "Tt is often a supreme happiness, I think, after years of devotion to modern culture and research, in which or>e may have wandered far and wide in many realms of thought, to take up the Bible once again nrd revive the sweet meTr^ries of our childhood and youth. "There still remains, for those who rea dthe Holy Scriptures with reverence and sincerity, an apparent revelation of a Spirit, not of any ordinary man or any group of ordinary men, but of some superman of the intellect, the "heart,' and the soul; something indescribable and not human but Divine; the spirit of Christ, the Son. of the living Ood. "This is the spirit which modern Germany is trying to crush. To Russia, on the other hand, we can turn to preserve that civilisation which we have received from the East, as to Asia, for the Liglit of the Soul. For us 'there is but one orood, and th«t Goodness itself,' as Tolstoy has said."
