To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our object is real history. A child was told the Biblical account of the Deluge. She looked into her Grandpa's face seriously, and asked, "Were you in the Ark?" He answered, "No!" She followed it up by this, "Why were'nt you drowned?" He maintained discreet silence. The explanation, would have been a longer story than that of the Deluge. What does make history? Calvary is but a slight elevation from the surrounding landscape ; its con- sequence increases through association. History is not nece...ssarily ancient : I. It is a narrative of incident. II. Growing into event. III. In a locality. IV. At a definite date. V. Confirming God's universal government.* In Lincoln's short Gettysburg speech he saw the travail of the nation's soul in its Birthright of Free- dom : "The Government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." That speech shook thrones and gives cheer to people, even now in 1920. The same idea was promulgated by Penn, in 1681, in a letter of April 8th to the Dutch on the Delaware, after the English had captured New Amsterdam, now New York.
