Excerpt from Guide Marks for Young Churchmen N a much larger volume, from which these pages are extracted, I have written of things politi cal, and have endeavored to impress upon your minds the duties pertaining to your earthly citizen ship. I come now to speak of a higher and more enduring theme - the Kingdom of God. The kingdoms of men come to an end; vast empires, that once swayed the destinies of the world, are now known only on the pages of history. They rise, fall and utterly come to naught. They are of the things of time, and perish with time. You, my children, will have a high duty to perform in being good citizens, in upholding law and the ad ministration of law. It is a part of one's religion, as well as loyalty, to be law-abiding citizens. Our country, now peaceful after a bloody war, may continue SO for years; but there are existing ele ments of con ict which will become explosive whenever the population becomes dense enough for ignition, The Old World is pouring in its tide of popula tion - peoples of all religions and no religion - all jumbled in a mighty mass. What will become of it all, who can tell? One thing seems most cer tain - that human affairs move forward and not backward. The state of the world, at this writing, is doubtless better, on the whole, than at any for mer period of time, and there is no good reason for supposing that it will take a retrograde move ment. You will have to adjust yourselves to the era in which you live, keeping a true manhood, whatever the issue: that will bring a man peace at the last: that makes the man.
