One of the prominent writers of Eng- lish essay says that " Christianity starts from the unbounded admiration of a person," and that " all J 2 OKAT'IOX. true moral progress is made through admiration." It is our fortune to have the admirable persons of our ancestors before us, though we have not lifted admiration to the point that inspires imitation. That we are a mighty people is reiterated to us from e^-erj Senate chamber and every stum^), at every civic and political gathering. But the repub...lic, no more than anything else, is stronger than its weakest part. And our weakest part is not our international policy, our system of government, our internal differences; not questions of revenue, currency, labor. It is the moral tone underlying thrift and energy, society and church and law. Side by side with every material prosperity there has been growing a laxity of individual honor, a woi'ship of expediency, a love of the hazards of money and of power, a moral enervation and obtuseness which come to the surface in all dealings, personal and national, and ai-e got to be recognized as the char- acteristics of the Ameiican man.
