These were the stages of savagery, barbarism and semi-civilization. The race has thus far paid much attention to physical and lental development. The great moral awakening is yet only- begun. It will be a new stage, the stage of civilization. The race will have passed into the age of ripening manhood. Love and service will gradually become uni versal.

Among what we call civil ized people it is now dead. It was good enough for the childhood stage of the race. Ages later individualism was put on trial. Among the more civilized peo ple it is now- dying. It has been found wanting. It is the age oi the youth and young manhood of the race—of rivalry and battle. . . _ So long as this competition remained within tiie hounds of healthy rivalry it was “the life of trade,” of everything.
