But now to sum up in a few plain words the great problem of civilisation in Europe arising out of this war. The people of Europe, I say, at first tried to maintain civil order by the help of the priest. But after a while, the priest cost too much expense and trouble. The people of Europe then, after the thirty years war, sent away the priest and called in the poli and soldier to maintain civil order. But now they find the poli and soldier are causing more expense and trouble even than the priests. Now what are the people of Europe to do? Send away the soldier and call back the priest? No, I do not believe the people of Europe will want to call back the priest. Besides the priest now would be useless. But then what are the people of Europe to do? I see Professor Lowes Dison of Cambridge in an article ilantithly, entitled "The War and the Way out, " says: "Call in the mob." I am afraid the mob when once called in to take the place of the priest and soldier, will give more trouble thahe priest and the soldier. The priests and soldiers in Europe have caused wars, but the mob will bring revolution and anarchy and theate of Europe will be worse than before. Now my advice to the people of Europe is: Do not call back the priest, and foodness sake dont call in the mob, _but call in the aman; call in the real aman with his Religion of good citizenship and his experience of ,years how to live in peace without priest and without soldier.
In fact I really believe that the people of Europe will find the solution of the great problem of civilisation after this war, _here in a. There is, I say here again, an invaluable, but hitherto unsuspected asset of civilisation here in a, and the asset of civilisation is the real aman. The real aman is an asset of civilisation because he has the secret of a new civilisation which the people of Europe will want after this great war, and the secret of that new civilisation is what I have called the Religion of good citizenship. The first principle of this Religion of good citizenship is to believe that the Nature of Man is good; to believe in the power of goodness; to believe in the power and efficacy of what the Ameri Emerson calls the law of love and justice. But what is the law of love? The Religion of good citizenship teaches that the law of love means to love your father and mother. And what is the law of justice? The Religion of good citizenship teaches that the law of justice means to be true, to be faithful, to be loyal; that the woman in every try must be self-lessly, absolutely loyal to her husband, that the man in every try must be selflessly, absolutely loyal to his sn, to his King or Emperor. In fact the highest duty in this Religion of good citizenship I want to say finally here is the Duty of Loyalty, loyalty not only in deed, but loyalty in spirit or as Tennyson puts it,
To reverehe King as he were
Their sd their sce as their King,
To break the heathen and uphold the Christ.
THE SPIRIT OF THE ESE PEOPLE
A Paper that was to have been read before the Oriental Society of Peking
LET me first of all explain to you what I propose, with your permission, this afternoon to discuss. The subject of our paper I have called "The Spirit of the ese people."! do not mean here merely to speak of the character or characteristics of the ese people. ese characteristics have often been described before, but I think you will agree with me that such description or eion of the c
