 of the working people, welded into an organ of its class power. Of course it would be better if we could introduce Socialism at once and put the management of all countries in the world into the hands of the workers; but as long as the dispossessed classes in other countries have net come into their own, we are obliged to keep out conquests within the limits of nationalisation. For this reason the Bolsheviki, when asked why they, who have declared war on private property, do not immediately introduce Socialism, say, "We have already made a beginning; we have undermined the roots of capitalism; we have already grown the young trees of the new order: but without the help and co-operation of the workers of all countries we are unable to grow the mighty oaks of Socialism, whose branches will overspread the world. But we are up and doing, and in time we will accomplish it! The time is approaching when these proletarians who have arisen, and these who even now are rising the world over, will complete our revolutionary beginning, and together with us, will lead it to a victorious end.

Thus spoke, and still speak, the Bolsheviki.

The Mensheviki, however, and especially the party of the Right Social Revolutionaries, who still, strange to say, imagine themselves to be Socialists, took up a different attitude on the land question. At first they urged the people to be patient until the convocation of the Constituent Assembly; and when it was on the point of meeting, when by means of methods of strangulation adopted against workers', soldiers' and peasants' organisations, these Right Socialists had established in the Assembly their own majority, they began to act more boldly. Shortly before the meeting of the Constituent Assembly, they had passed through their preliminary parliament a land law embodying compensation and leasehold, a law which handed over to the capitalist all land occupied by cattle-ranches, stud-farms and other works.

 ii. The Question of War and Peace.—The Bolsheviki had always maintained that the war was being waged by the capitalists of all countries for the annexation of territory, for the acquirement of new markets for their manufactured goods, and of new places for the obtaining of raw materials: in brief the capitalists needed the war in order to enrich themselves and to make enormous profits.

Under no circumstances could the war bring the workers anything but disaster and ruin. That is why the Bolsheviki were uncompromising opponents of the war and refused to support the capitalists of one side against those of the other, knowing full well that the capitalists of all countries are the enemies of the workers. In deeds, net merely in words, they waged a struggle for a universal people's peace.

A truce and subsequent coalition with the bourgeoisie, leading to the support of its annexationist military and commercial treaties, would have constituted a betrayal of the working class. The workers had already been betrayed by the participation of the Right Socialists in the Provisional Government which was committed to such treaties. This alliance even compelled the Right S.R.'s to acquiesce in the offensive undertaken by Kerensky at the instigation of the Anglo-French capitalists.

The Bolsheviki knew that the capitalists of all countries were deceiving the people by promising a speedy and just peace, whilst in reality they were prolonging an annexationist war. The Russian capitalists, who had the Provisional Government under their thumb, did not want to publish those secret, predatory treaties which the late Czar, Nicholas Romanov, had made with the capitalists of England, France and other countries in order to take Constantinople and Armenia from the


text:
Page:Boris Zakharovich Shumyatsky - The Aims of the Bolsheviki (1919).djvu/16

 Turks, and Galicia from the Austrians. In fact, the capitalist Provisional Government openly supported these treaties, although at the head of it were people who called themselves Socialists. Now that the workers have assumed power and established the Soviets, these shameful secret treaties have been published. They have shown the world into what depths of lying and robbery it has been led by the capitalist classes.

The Bolsheviki looked upon the fraternising of the proletarians of all countries in the trenches as one of the most effective weapons in the struggle for peace. They made full use of this weapon, which has already initiated the revolutionary movement in Austria and Germany, to crush which the capitalists of these countries launched the last offensive against peaceful cities. The Bolsheviki say that this offensive is one of the last spasmodic efforts of capitalism. Like drowning men, the German, Ukrainian and other capitalists are grasping at a straw, and having gathered their last strength, are throwing themselves against the Russian Revolution.

The Mensheviki and Right Social-Revolutionaries held far other views on the war. They said that as the war had been foisted on us by Czarism, we were not able to bring it to a close. Therefore, they not only supported the war in so many words, but even whilst they were in power, drove the Russian army into an offensive which cost us. thousands of lives.

iii. The Question of the Organisation of the Country.—Russia is at present almost the only country in the world where a people's revolution is throbbing and seething. Therefore it is only natural that under such conditions, the question of the organisation of the


text:
Page:Boris Zakharovich Shumyatsky - The Aims of the Bolsheviki (1919).djvu/17

 country and the form of its proletarian dictatorship should arouse general interest.

There was a general agreement that Russia must be a republic, even on the part of many capitalists and landowners who had previously always backed the monarchy, but who had come to the conclusion that on no account would the Russian people tolerate the re-establishment of the Czarist power. For this reason the capitalists have directed all their efforts towards making the Russian Republic as near as possible a replica of the Czarist régime. Such a sham republic, as many examples in other countries prove, could have easily been transferred again into a monarchy. They therefore wished to preserve the bureaucracy which dominated the people, and the police force and standing army, which stood separate from the people, and which were commanded by non-elected generals and officers—for the generals and officers, if not elected, will always belong to the capitalist and landowning class.

That is why the Bolshevik party, which is the party of the class-conscious workers and poorest peasants, is endeavouring to establish a different kind of republic. It wants a republic where there will be no police force like the old one, lording it over the people; where all functionaries, from the lowest to the highest, will be subject to election and recall at any time, according to the will of the people—their pay not to be higher than that of a good workman; where all army authorities will also be elected and the old standing army, officered by members of the bourgeois class, replaced by a citizen army or people's militia. The whole state power in such a republic must belong to the Soviets of Workers', Soldiers' and Peasants' Delegates. The workers and peasants form the majority of the population, and therefore all administrative power must belong to their Councils and not to the bureaucrats.


text:
Page:Boris Zakharovich Shumyatsky - The Aims of the Bolsheviki (1919).djvu/18

 We must look forward, say the Bolsheviki, and not backward, to such a republic as will only serve to consolidate the reign of capitalism, by making use of all the old monarchic organs of government, such as the police, the army and the bureaucracy; we must look forward, making use of these new forms and institutions brought into being by the Russian Revolution.

The Soviets and the power of the Soviets are a transitional step on the road to Socialism. It is the power of the workers and peasants created for the purpose of arousing and achieving the revolt of the poor of all countries against the capitalist system. And this workers' power will in the end destroy all arbitrary power, namely, the mastery of man over man, and will establish on earth equality and fraternity, i.e., Socialism.

As on the two previous questions of the land and of the war, so on this all-important question of the organisation of the country, the Mensheviki and Right Social-Revolutionaries were once again found to differ widely from the Bolsheviki. They said that the revolution was being made, not only by the one class of workers of town and country, but also by other classes, and that power must consequently be representative of the interests of all classes. On the strength of this argument, both these parties fraternised with the capitalists in power and formed the Provisional Government of Kerensky, which has since been driven from power.

Such are, in the main, the aims of the Bolsheviki, and such are the causes of their quarrel with the Mensheviki and Right Social Revolutionaries.

And now, reader, do you not understand how completely right was that unsophisticated person, who, when asked what a Bolshevist was, answered:—

"A Bolshevik is that kind of Socialist who wants the people to acquire, by means of revolution, all the good things of this world, and not to postpone till to-morrow what it can do to-day."

affiance on Christ for salvation, can be grounded on his generall belief, that Christ died for all men: because this notwithstanding it may be, he is not allowed, he cannot rest upon Christ for salvation.

Againe, That is the ground of faith, which doth fully and satisfyingly answer to this question, why doe you, and how know you that you are allowed to rest upon Christ for salvation? But the bare beliefe of this proposition, that Christ died for all men, to save, &c. is not a satisfying and full answer to this Question.

Againe, This categoricall proposition, Christ died for all men, sheweth what is done, whether men believe or not, but doth not warrant every man as such to rest upon Christ, nor promise upon condition of faith, what cannot be obtained without beliefe in Christ. The ground of particular affiance is some word or promise made to man not yet believing, whereby he is assured that as such he is allowed to believe, and that believing he shall receive the free forgivenesse of his offences; which promise is in order of nature before faith, tendered to him that beleeveth not, holding forth free remission upon condition of faith, and is made good to him that beleeveth. What some speake of a conditionall promise made to beleevers, I cannot comprehend: for if the person must be a beleever, before the promise be offered unto him, then faith must hang in the aire, and not be built upon the word, neither can faith be the condition required in the promise, but somewhat else; for a conditionall promise, the condition being fulfilled, is conditionall no longer, but absolute; the condition being performed, the thing promised is applied and possessed, and not barely promised upon condition.

What hath been answered to former passages of Scripture, doth open the true meaning of another, much urged in this matter. God our Saviour will have all men to be saved, ''and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one Mediatour between God and men, the man Christ Jesus: who gave himselfe a ransome for all, to be testified in due time''. But All in this place doth not signifie universally every man, in every age and condition: but All opposed to the Jews only, all indefinitely, and that in the times of the new Testament, of which the Apostle speaketh. For those All whom God willeth to be saved, he willeth that they come to the knowledge of the truth, scil. the saving

 How far those features in their dusty frame

Were now from seeing that there was in this world

So frail a relic as Fernando Nash,

And how much farther still they were from caring,

With more than common care, could they have seen him.

Could they have seen him they would not have known

What fires had burned in that cadaverous ruin

Below them, or what hopes, or what remorse,

Or what regret. For a long time he lay

Aware of action hardly in a finger,

But with a coming wonder of surprise

For a new clearness which had late begun

To pierce forbidden chambers long obscured

Within him, and abandoned, being so dark

And empty that he would not enter them—

That he has washed wtihwith [sic] a lethargic poison,

And waits at ease with his malignity

For stagnant fury to accumulate

A mortal sloth within—and in so far

As that was in a manner merciful,

Though now it seemed there was to be an end

Of even that mercy. After a grateful darkness,

There was to be the pain of seeing too clearly

And closed his eyes, finding an awkward humor

From such a long and thwarting servitude.

A calm that all his life had been a stranger

To the confusions that were born with him

Composed and overpowered him as he felt,

Enveloping and persuading body and brain

Without a motion or a wish to move,

truth of God, he vouchsafeth the Gospell unto them, and word of reconciliation. But the word of reconciliation was not vouchsafed to every Nation under heaven in every age, much lesse to every man; Nor to all Nations in any age, specially since the distinction of Jew and Gentile, before the times of the Gospell.

It will be replied, that God was ready to have communicated the Gospell unto them, if they had used well what they had received: but abusing what he had given, it was just to with-hold further meanes from them. But this answer will in no sort fit this place, because the Lords willing that all men be saved, and the actuall communication of the Gospell unto all men are plainly conjoyned, and so is Christs actuall giving of himselfe a ransome for all, both in this and other passages of Scripture. Besides, it is most evident those All, which in this place are meant, are such as had fearfully abused the common grace received, and with-held the truth of God in unrighteousnesse, and for which many of them were given up unto a reprobate sence. Of these the Apostle speaking of the times of grace, saith, God willeth that they should come to the knowledge of the truth, not that he willeth to vouchsafe the Gospell unto them, if they should use the common graces well, (for they had fearefully abused them already) but actually to vouchsafe the word of reconciliation notwithstanding such their abuse.

Those all whom God willeth to be saved, are they that have God to be their God, and Christ to be their Mediatour: but all men in every age have not God for their God. Is he ''the God of the Jewes only? Is he not of the Gentiles also? Yes, of the Gentiles also?'' But of the world of Jew and Gentile he is the God, in times of the new Testament, and not of the old. The place is much like that of the same Apostle, for God hath concluded them all in unbeliefe, that he might have mercy upon all, that is, not upon the Jews alone, but all beleevers, both Jewes and Gentiles, because there is neither Jew nor Greek, bond nor free, male nor female; but in Christ Jesus they are all one. This was meant of the daies of salvation, and the acceptable yeare which was fore-prophesied, 2 Cor. 6. 2. and began from the ascension of Christ to receive generall execution, Act. 13. 46, 47. when according to promise all should be taught of God, Joh. 6. 45. and Christ would draw all

 Deeper than surgeons go; and a vast joy,

Which broke and swept and covered him like a sea

Of innocence, leaving him eager as a child

That has outlived experience and remembers

Only the golden moment as it flows,

Told him in silence that was more than speech

That after passion, arrogance and ambition,

Doubt, fear, defeat, sorrow and desperation,

He had wrought out of martyrdom the peace

That passeth understanding. Still he lay there

Smiling to think how soon those burrowing teeth

Which he had felt within him for so long

Would cease their famished gnawing at his heart,

Which after all the many prolonged assaults

It had survived was toiling loyally,

With only an uncertain fire to drive it;

 THE

RECALL.

nothing. To this unintelligible prattle I listened bewildered. I began to doubt my own sanity. But I knew that Margaret had no brother: I knew that 'William Devon was her paternal uncle. Out of patience w ith the senseless babble of the woman, 1 began to ply her with questions. At last it was all made clear. Margaret’s father and grandfather had both borne the name of Gilbert, and her aunt as well as herself that of   Margaret. It was the aunt who had been the wife of James Chase. “Whom then had Margaret married?” was the next inquiry. “She never married,” was the answer. The lover of her girlhood had been faithless, and had long ceased to be regretted.

Oh, what a dullard was I, never to have conceived that two might own the name of Margaret Devon! Remounting my horse, I went slowly back to my lodgings, musing on what might have been.

The next day was Sunday, and I once more bent my steps to the church, where I had seen the gentle child whose memory so clung to me.

The building was unchanged. There were the square pews, the high pulpit with its tasseled cushion, and the sounding-board swinging fearfully above it; the fringed desks; the oak-cased organ, surmounted by crown and mitre; the natural tablets. But what a change in the worshipers! Every seat was filled, and by people of every type. Here were the fair hair and carnation-tinted cheek of New England; and there the dark, pale face of the sunnier South.

The grey-haired rector was gone, and his place was filled by a comparatively youthful figure, with the brow of a Persian. His sonorous voice and clear enunciation were very effective in the liturgy, but could not drown the trampling of horses and rattling of carriages outside, during the sermon. On coming out, a close line of vehicles stretched along Spring street; and another on Church street intersected it at right angles, unwittingly making the sign of the cross with equipages and footmen.

Missing my cane, I went back for it, and to avoid the throng, stepped from the walk and  stood among the graves. I plucked a daisy beside the tomb where Margaret had stood, and when the crowd had issued forth, returned into the church with it in my hand. My seat had been near the chancel, and as I now drew near, two ladies, who had lingered, stood looking at the gilded tables of the law. In a tone full of sad music, one of them observed, “I remember the first time I ever entered these walls. It was when I was brought to be baptized.” Her face was averted, but I felt that it was Margaret Devon. She went on to detail the incidents of that hour; her heedlessness; her danger, and  her being saved by an unknown youth; her   giving him her flowers, and his promise to keep   the daisy. She added playfully, “I sometimes  wonder if he really retained it, and if I ever   shall see him again. I mean to pick another  from the same spot and keep it until I find its  fellow.”

She turned to go, as she spoke, and came full upon me, standing with the daisy in my hand.

I was no longer a youth, and the child Margaret was now a stately woman. The grey hairs that had crept among the chesnut on my temples   ought, perhaps, to have brought more wisdom  with them; but I was impelled onward. Holding out to her the freshly gathered flower, I said, “Will you not take this? I have kept the other twenty years.” Surprised, confounded, she took it, and with hastily murmured thanks passed out of the church.

I went home in a whirl of undeﬁnable emotion. It was in vain that I called myself an old fool; and conjectured whether Margaret laughed at my sentimentality, or was indignant at my impudence. So I went to her to learn the truth. Neither anger nor contempt were seen in those deep eyes; but maidenly consciousness and grateful kindliness. I found her more beautiful than even in childhood, and in every womanly excellence beyond my highest imaginings. Why lengthen out my story? I wooed, I won; and the little Margaret has become indeed my DAY's EYE.

THE RECALL. BY

P. H.

QTAUFFEK. Come back! Come back to me again! As if those angry words had not been said! The tears of bitterness that I have shed Would wash away a sin of twice its stain.

Come back! Come back to me again, I place my hands upon my aching head— I wish that I were with the dead, To know no more of wretchedness and pain!

Come back! Come back to me again! I offer for those cruel words I said The free devotion of a life instead! How happy now! I have not plead in vain.

 And still he would not move. There would be time

For all things in their order. He was hungry—

Hungry beyond a longer forced endurance,

But in this new unwillingness not to live,

No longer forced, there was a gratefulness

Of infinite freedom and humility,

After a bondage of indignant years

And evil sloth; and there was in this calm,

Which had unlooked for been so long in coming,

A balanced wealth of debts and benefits

Vaster than all ambition or achievement.

Hereafter it would be enough to serve,

And let the chosen shine.

So there he lay,

Luxuriating vaguely on the moment

Page:The Man Who Died Twice (1924).djvu/66

 When he should rise and with a blessed effort

Go down those shadowy stairs again for food;

And if in his prevision of that moment

He had not lain so long awaiting it,

Those drums of death might opportunely then

Have stayed an hour the sound of their approach,

Throbbing as always, and intolerably,

Through stifling clouds of sound that hid, like flames,

Tumultuous and elusive melodies,

Now for so long imprisoned as no longer

To be released. Hearing them first, and faintly,

For once and for once only without flinching,

He smiled and sighed. Let others, if they must,

Hear them and follow them. He was at peace

With them for the first time in recollection,

And. willingly for the future would remain so.

 At last alive, it was enough to serve,

And so to be content where God should call him;

But there must be no haste. His fires were low,

And too much fuel might yet extinguish them.

At first he must be frugal with his coals,

If only for the peril of too much comfort

Given at once, and without more atonement.

So arrogant in his new humility

Was he becoming, and so chary was he

Of exultation, that to break his fast

With no excess of zeal he planned a fare

That would have saddened Simeon on his pillar;

And he might soon have been in search of it,

Had not another silence, like a blow

That somehow stunned him to clairvoyant awe,

Held him as if mysterious hands had bound him

Page:The Man Who Died Twice (1924).djvu/68

 With cords he could not see. Now he could hear

Those drums again, and they were coming nearer,

Still muffled within the same unyielding cloud

Of sound and fire, which had somewhere within it

A singing flame that he might not for long

Endure, should such a mocking hour as this

Be the one hour of all when after years

Of smouldering it should leap at him and scorch him.

He felt his fingers clutching hungrily

At nothing, as the fingers of one drowning

Would clutch at seaweed floating where he sank;

And he could feel the pounding of those drums

Like iron upon the fibre of his brain.

His feeble heart was leaping, and a cold

Invisible hand was heavy on his throat—

As if in mercy, if it need be so,


text:
Page:The Man Who Died Twice (1924).djvu/69

 To strangle him there before he knew too soon

What he must know too late.

Now it was fear,

Not peace, that falling on him like a wave,

Covered and overwhelmed him; it was fear,

Not peace, that made him cold and left him trembling

After the cold had passed. The coming drums

Were like the vanguard of a Juggernaut

Approaching slowly through a rolling cloud

Of fiery sound that was anon to burst

And inundate him with an ecstacy

Of mad regret before those golden wheels

Behind should crush him. He could only wait,

Therefore, and in his helplessness be seared

With his own lightning. When the music leapt


text:
Page:The Man Who Died Twice (1924).djvu/70

 Out of that fiery cloud and blinded him,

There would be recognition for a moment,

And then release. So his prophetic fancy,

Smiting him with deceit, foresaw the blow,

Not seeing what other shafts of doom and mercy

There are from which an injured God may choose

The one or many that in his exigence

His leisure may affect. Seldom it is

The mightier moments of necessity

That we can see are coming come to us

As we have seen them. Better or worse for us,

Anticipation waits upon surprise;

And though Fernando Nash in his exhaustion

Prayed now for that cold hand upon his throat

To close and have it over, no cold hand

Was there to close. Now there was nothing for him


text:
Page:The Man Who Died Twice (1924).djvu/71

 But to lie still and hear those coming drums,

Muffled as always in a smoky cloud

Of burning sound that in a moment more

Would burst above him into flaming rain

That once he would have welcomed on his knees,

Unspeakably; and so he might have done

Could he have waited with his inner doors

Unbarred to the celestial messengers

Who may have come and gone a score of times,

Only to find again, and still again,

That he was absent on another journey

Into the dismal valley of the shadow

That was to be his home. But that was over.

They had not found him then. He had not waited.

Failing a willingness to be assured

That in so doing he would have left by now

Page:The Man Who Died Twice (1924).djvu/72

 The worst of a light burden far behind him

And found the rest to be Olympian gold,

He had impawned it all for mouldy pottage.

Telling me that, he sighed and shut his teeth,

And with a mortal smile shook his large head

At me before he went back to those drums.

They were not going a sound, as it appeared,

Their long approach for ever, but were soon

To cease, and only intermittently

Be heard again till choral gold came down

Out of a star to quench and vanquish them

With molten glory. Trembling there alone,

He knew that there would now be falling on him

The flaming rain he feared, or the one shaft

Of singing fire that he no longer feared—

At which that hand might close upon his throat

China is today in the throes of two great political efforts. First, rival leaders or factions are contending for power; some are struggling to extend, others to preserve the measure of authority which they have attained during the years since the overthrow of the Monarchy (1912). Second, most of those who, in China's vast population, are politically articulate are in revolt against the influence which foreign governments, foreign nationals and foreign ideas have acquired in their country.

The wars which have been waged during the past ten years have been factional. Various leaders, groups and parties have been contending for a supremacy to which none has a lawful claim. Each has raised armies, collected revenues, and waged his or its contest against one or more of the others. A semblance of central authority has been maintained in Peking; but at this moment even the Peking government is self-appointed and has a narrowly limited authority. The city of Peking is fought for as a political prize, because: first, it is the traditional seat of authority; second, it possesses the physical equipment of government; and, third, certain of the more important sources of revenue still contribute to the exchequer located there.

 Till in oblivion there might then be peace;

And so at first there was—if there be peace

In the complete oblivion of achievement.

Instead of bursting as he prayed it might,

And ending him with one destroying blast

Of unendurable fulfilment, slowly

And imperceptibly that cloud of sound

Became a singing mist, which, having melted,

Revealed a fire that he had always felt,

But never known before. No lightning shaft

Of blinding and immediate dissolution

Was yet impending: there was only joy,

And a vast wonder that all this had been

So near him for so long. Smiling and still,

He listened gratefully. It had come at last;

And those far sent celestial messengers

Had found him now. He had offended them,

He had insulted and forsaken them,

And he was not forsaken. They had come,

And in their coming had remembered only

That they were messengers, who like himself

Had now no choice; and they were telling him this

In the last language of mortality,

Which has no native barrier but the grave.

Now it was theirs to sing and his to wear

The glory, although there was a partnership

Somewhere that a surviving grace in him

Remembered; for though the star from which they came

Shone far within the dark infinity

That was himself, he had not made it shine—

 antennæ reddish on the basal half, shading into blackish, at least 40-jointed, the scape and second joint thickened, the scape half as long again as broad, the second joint hardly longer than broad, the third joint twice as long as the fourth, the rest tapering and gradually decreasing in length to beyond the middle, when they become longer and more cylindrical; vertex and thorax closely punctured, the latter more coarsely; thorax with two strong spines at the frontal angles, a strong spine on each side, between which runs a raised ridge, and a row of eight large spines behind. There is one more large spine on each side slightly before the others; on the yellow lower ridge of the thorax most of the spines are red, tipped with black; those on the legs are described in characterising the genus, The dividing ridge of the thorax is brownish; before it are two pairs of shallow brownish depressions, and behind it a row of five on each side, curving outwards, and two or three additional pairs in the middle. Abdomen smooth, more or less cupreous, with some scattered punctures towards the end of the segments.

Much resembles C. erinaceus, Fairmaire, from the Gaboon, but only half the size. Described from two males and one female, which hardly differ in structure, thus making it probable that the insect alluded to by Dr. Karsch as the female of Cosmoderus erinaceus (Berl. ent. Zeitschr. xxxi. p. 59) belongs to a different genus, and not improbably to Aprophantia, described below.

The curious wingless insects belonging to the family Hetrodidæ must be very numerous in the warmer parts of Africa. Almost every collection from these regions, however small, furnishes one or more new species if it contains any Orthoptera. I take the opportunity of adding the description of a new genus and species, which appears to have been confounded with Cosmoderus erinaceus, in a footnote.

men unto him, Joh. 12. 32. Thus Arminius himselfe, the place intreats of the amplitude of grace exhibited in Christ under the new Testament: and concludes his answer thus, that throughout all ages God hath willed that all men severally should come to the knowledge of the truth, and be saved, as they are comprehended in the Covenant of God, but not as they are fallen from it in themselves or their parents.

It is objected, That God willeth that all they should be saved, for whom we are to pray. But we must pray for all men. But the Apostles argument is otherwise, that we must pray for all men, because God willeth that all should be saved, that is, Gods will it is, that the Gentiles should be called, and added unto the Church, the Gospell should be preached amongst all Nations: therefore now pray ye for all men, specially for Kings, because by the good affection of Kings to Gods Church, the Church of God is like to prosper farre better then by the conversion of meane persons. But it no way followeth, that God willeth their salvation, because we pray for their salvation. The child prayeth for the Fathers health and recovery, when God willeth he shall die. If God should leave us to our owne desires, peradventure we should desire, not only that all that now live, but that all that ever lived might have been converted and saved: yea, that the Angels that fell might have been kept from sin, or having sinned might have been brought to repentance and saved. To desire that every one that now liveth might be saved, with submission to the will of God, is no incongruity. But we cannot inferre thereupon, that it is the will of God to save every man now living in the world, or to grant them meanes sufficient to come to the knowledge of the truth. Neither will it follow, that we must pray for every man in the world, in every age, knowne and unknowne unto us, such as we never heard of by relation, because we must pray for All men: for then all must comprehend even those that sinne sins unto death amongst the rest, unlesse we beleeve that there are no such sinners in the world: and he had need be of a strong faith, and have some extraordinary revelation that beleeveth that.

Then are we to pray for all and every Infidell, obstinate, rebellious person, even the whole Kingdome of Antichrist, that they might come to the knowledge of the truth: but he must be a man

 Albeit he may have wrought more notably

Than might another for its extinguishment.

But there was time for not much more of that

Than a bewildered smile of acquiescence.

The quivering miracle of architecture

That was uprising lightly out of chaos,

And out of all the silence under time,

Was a gay temple where the Queen of Life

And her most loyal minions were protracting

Melodious and incessant festival

To the least lenient of divinities.

Joy, like an infinite wine, was everywhere,

Until it proved itself at last a languor,

Now less engrossed with festive pageantry

Than with an earth-born sensuous well-being

Which in the festive pageant was divine.

 Of all the many of those who danced and sang

And celebrated, there was none to note

A silent entrance of the most abhorred

And oldest of all uninvited strangers—

A lean and slinking mute with a bassoon,

Who seized attention when a languid hush

Betrayed a perilous rift of weariness

Where pleasure was not joy, and blew a tune

Of hollow triumph on a chilly reed

From which all shrank. The tumult after that

Was an unprized expenditure of beauty

Awaiting doom. It was awaiting also

The faint approach of slow, infernal drums

That were not long in coming, bringing with them

A singing horde of demons, men and women,

Who filled the temple with offensive yells

And sang to flight the frightened worshippers.

So long as he lay motionless. If he moved

It might be only to plunge down again

Into a more chaotic incoherence

And a more futile darkness than before.

There was no need of moving, and no need

Of asking; for he knew, as he had known

For years, unheard, that passionate regret

And searching lamentation of the banished,

Who in abandoned exile saw below them

The desecrated lights of a domain

Where they should walk no more. Inaudible

At first, he knew it only as a presence

Intangible, but he knew that it was there;

And as it went up slowly to the stars

Carrying all the sorrow of man with it,

 During the past fourteen years, some eight political leaders have held the highest office in Peking; some forty-two recognizable Cabinets have functioned there; and some nine Parliaments have met. At the present moment there is no recognized Chief Executive. There is no Parliament in being. There is no constitution in force. There is no uniform system of laws. The work of elaborating new codes of law on western models has been carried forward, and several of the codes have been declared in effect by Executive Mandate, but there are gaps, and certain codes which are nominally in effect have not been adopted by the recognized legal processes prescribed in any of the Constitutions which have been, from time to time, in effect.

Governments at Peking have been made and unmade by military leaders. In 1924 President Tsao Kun's Government was overthrown by a coup d'etat manipulated by Feng Yu-hsiang, the "Christian General." Feng imprisoned Tsao Kun, and then, by agreement with Marshal Chang Tso-lin, of Manchuria, placed Tuan Chi-jui in authority as "Provisional Chief Executive." Tsao was held prisoner in the palace until, in the spring of 1926, Feng's forces were driven from Peking; he was then released, but was not restored to office. When, in April 1926, the combined forces of Chang Tso-lin and Wu Pei-fu took Peking, Feng's forces withdrew to the northwest, and the Provisional Chief Executive, Tuan Chi-jui, left Peking hurriedly and unceremoniously.

Well, here it was. And while he might have died

If it had ceased, he would have been as one

Who cared no more, having had everything,

Where there was no more caring. But he knew

That he was not yet dead, and that the rest

Would soon be coming. When the voices fell,

He knew that through them he should hear those drums

Again, but he was not afraid of them.

They were his drums, and the far sound of riot

Below there in the gloom was also his.

It was all his to give. “Poor fool,” he thought;

“Praise God you are a fool, and call it yours.”

He kept in his creative charnel house

More pictures hidden of the dead and dying

Than men should see; and there were these among them,

Which he submitted once, reluctantly,

As to a loyal friend who would forgive them,

And then forget. Yet I remember now

That in the place of languid folly flown

To mourn apart, bereft of its illusions,

The desolation of its realities,

There woke amid the splendors that were lost

A frantic bacchanale of those usurpers,

Who in affronting life with evil rites

Of death, knew not themselves to be the dead—

In false authority mistaking riot

And scorn for power, and hell for paradise.

 after there existed no "central government." Finally a number of experienced officials and military leaders, constituted themselves, with the assent of four northern "war lords," an acting government, with the designation "Regency Cabinet."

There were at that time upon the stage four outstanding military leaders. Each had his own army, each his own principality. In Manchuria, with seat of government at Mukden, Marshal Chang Tso-lin. Chang's power extended into the metropolitan Province of Chihli and into Shantung, and he had a substantial measure of authority, but not control, in Peking. In central China, with base on the Peking-Hankow Railway, Wu Pei-fu. Wu was in command of a coalition of military forces no unit of which was absolutely his own. Chang Tso-lin and Wu Pei-fu had cooperated in driving the "People's National Army" of Feng Yu-hsiang from Peking. Wu thus shared with Chang an influence at Peking. West of Kalgan, Feng Yu-hsiang was in control of an indefinite area spoken of as the "Northwest." In central eastern China, north and south of the Yangtze River, Sun Chuang-fang had effected a coalition of military forces which gave him supreme command but by no means unassailable authority in five rich provinces. In the South, that is Kwangtung and its hinterland, Chiang Kai-shek, commanding the armies of the Kuo Min Tang ("Nationalist Party") had consolidated his power, with the aid of Russian advisers and officers (of Soviet persuasion), and was preparing for a campaign northwards.

Whereafter conquest was an easy trifle,

And hating the magnificence they cursed,

Seeing not the beauty or the use of it,

They soiled with earthy feet the shining floor

Flinging the dregs of their debaucheries

From crystal cups against the gleaming walls

Of Life’s immortal house. Too ignorant

Of where they were to be afraid to know,

They shrieked and sang in shrill delirium

With vicious ecstasy for louder drums—

Till, crowning insolence with infamy,

They must have wearied God—who, pitying them,

Smote with avenging trumpets into silence

All but those drums of death, which, played by Death

To him than indecisions that were gone,

Far off there was a murmur and a sinning

Of liberation, and a marching hymn

Sang of a host returning. All the banished

Who had been driven from the house of life

To wander in the valley of the shadow

Were sounding as they came in chastened order

The praise of their deliverance and return.

A singing voice that gathered and ascended

Filled the vast dome above them till it glowed

With singing light that seemed at first eternal,

But was at first not so. There were those drums

Out of the voices that were praising it;

And while it wavered, the lean hand of Death

With corybantic and infatuate glee

There were those golden trumpets, and at last

There was that choral golden overflow

Of sound and fire, which he had always heard—

And had not heard before. Now it had come,

All he had known and had not waited for

Was his; and having it, he could not wait now.

For sport, the large and sprawling obstacle

 At Canton there had been developed since 1917 a government which claimed, as did the government at Peking, to be the government of (all) China. There Dr. Sun Yat-sen had been elected "President of China" (1921). There, shortly before his death, Dr. Sun had decided to accept assistance from Soviet Russia—a decision which produced a schism in his party—and had entrusted to General Chiang the task of creating an army with which to "unify" the country. The administration of Canton by the Nationalist Government had been favorably commented on by many observers.

The long threatened northward advance ("march on Peking") of the Canton forces was launched early in the summer of 1926. Chiang Kai-shek's army took Changsha, crossed the Yangtze above Hankow, took Hanyang and its arsenal, then took Hankow, and later, after a siege of several weeks took Wuchang, and, proceeding down the river, took Kiukiang. The success of his armies increased Chiang Kai-shek's prestige and so materially damaged Wu Pei-fu that not a few observers declared the latter "finished." Chiang has since pressed on, south of the Yangtze, and has just now (March 21, 1927) taken the region around Shanghai.

Although it should be clearly understood that these military operations are not those of a revolutionary organization seeking to overthrow a legitimate government, it should not be thought that

Still glowing within him, drew mysteriously

From those assisting at his resurrection

A friendly patience, and a sort of wonder

That wore a laughing kindness. With a lesion

Brought vainly by perennial messengers

For one that would no longer recognize them,

Or know that they had come. There were somewhere

Disfigured outlines of a glory spoiled

That hovered unrevealed and unremembered,

But they were like to those of blinding jewels

Wrought beyond earth to value beyond earth,

To be defaced and hammered valueless

 there is no more underlying all this activity than the interests and ambitions of the military leaders. There is a clash of ideas. There is a contest between comparatively conservative and comparatively radical groups. It is not, as it is so often put, a struggle between North China and South China. There is no political or economic line of cleavage in China. There is no party which is confined to the South; and there is no party which controls all of the North. One party, however, has nation-wide affiliations and has in every province some influence. This is the Kuo Min Tang, or Nationalist Party. The other parties are composed on a basis either of personal or of territorial affiliations. The Kuo Min Party may be said to embody the spirit of the "revolution"; it carries on from the overthrow of the monarchy; it has a "platform"; it talks of "popular government"; it represents the undisciplined and enthusiastic desire of a portion of the population of every province to break with tradition and throw off restraining and retarding influences.

It is, naturally, from the ranks of this party and its leaders that the most insistent of the fulminations of the Chinese against foreigners, foreign influence, foreign powers, emanate. In it are enrolled the majority, but by no means all, of the "western educated" students. It flourishes most in the South,—for the southern Chinese are by temperament more revolutionary, more ardent than the northern Chinese, and South China has known more

In his last, starless plunge. “Make a swift end

Of what I leave behind,” he said to me.

“Burn me to ashes; and when that is done,

Take me somewhere to sea and let me sink,

And fear not for my soul. I have found that,

Though I have lost all else. All but those drums;

And they are but the last hope of the devil.

 of foreign contact and influence than has North China. From South China have gone most of China's emigrants; and from these emigrants there has come back into China a steady stream of agitation and funds for revolutionary enterprises. South China has been the birthplace of most of the revolutions of the Chinese against their Rulers, and in South China the spirit of revolt is most acute today.

But it should not be thought that the Kuo Min Party and the South are alone indoctrinated with the ideas of revolt which are becoming daily more and more manifest in China. Chinese everywhere have shown during the past ten years increasing signs of a developing national self-consciousness. Ten years ago one heard in the foreign "concessions" a general damning of the Chinese as a people possessed of no patriotism. Today one hears in the same places a general damning of Chinese nationalism. There is unquestionably developing in China that conception of national interests and national rights which is called "patriotism." Not every Chinese, not one in ten, perhaps not one in a hundred, has what we would call a "consciousness" or even an opinion with regard to political questions. The "public" consists of at most a few million citizens, those who either are educated or possess substantial means or wield military power. These constitute articulate China. Politically speaking, they are the nation. Their number is sufficient to constitute what would be a considerable body politic in any state. Among them there is develop-

And in his wisdom took away again.

We cannot measure what the world has lost

Until we know the gauge the builders use

Who made it. All we know about the world

For certain is that it appears to be.

And in so far as I am sure of that

So am I sure that I was once as much

I have not drugged a clamoring vanity

With lies that for a little while may seem

To sweeten truth. There was no need of that;

And God knows now that there is less than ever.

WHAT ANNE DALAND DID. 49

it was with a new sense of weakness and sin that she knelt. to pray for forgiveness for the past, and strength for the future.

Anne's new enthusiasm for doing good sent her into the kitchen the very next morning. “Bridget,” said she, to that worthy domestic, who at that. moment was deep in the mysteries of one of her delicious puddings. “Don’t you wish you knew how to read and write as well as  cook?" Bridget dropped her egg-beater in astonishment at the question. “You’re not making fun of me now, are ye, Miss Anne? Shure I’d give the whole of New York, just to be able to write a bit of a letter home to Ireland now and then.” So the lessons began that very day. It was no easy task that she had undertaken, Anne soon found that out. Poor Bridget! her memory  was so short, and her mind as undisciplined as  the merest child’s, and she had such a propensity to learn everything by rote! Anne got discouraged sometimes, but she was determined to  persevere, and she did.

One dull, foggy, dismal day, Anne Daland stood at the window looking out at the dreary prospect. The streets were muddy, and the few people who were out looked uncomfortable, and in a hurry to get home.

“Isn't it doleful, mother?” said Anne.

“Why, yes, I suppose so, since you say it is! But I've been too busy all day to mind the weather much," and Mrs. Daland bent her sweet, motherly face over her sewing again.

“There now, mother! I hope that isn't intended for a hit at me, I have done ever so much today; ‘the little busy bec’ is not to be com pared to me, and yet I'm blue, decidedly blue. l'll tell you what it is, mother,” said she, after another pause, “I’m going out.” "What, in this muddy walking?" "It won’t hurt me any. I’m going on an ex- ploring expedition, to see if I can’t ﬁnd some body to cheer up. Cousin Mary would say that is the best way to drive off the blues.” Mrs. Daland thought Anne might be right, so gave her one or two commissions. One to go  and see a sick man, Mr. Malone, and the other  to take a book to Mary Brackett.

“Mary is one of the best old maids that ever was, which is saying a great deal, and she’s lonely, She can’t go out much, you know, on account of her rheumatism,” said Mrs. Daland.

In a few minutes Anne set out. The bustle of getting ready had already nearly dispelled the blues. She walked briskly along, holding up her shirts with one hand, just disclosing a glimpse of a white stocking, and very neat feet encased in a pair of little, thick walking-boots, that would have rejoiced the heart of an Englishman, as they went tapping on the side walk with their little heels. The warm, damp air  brought the color to her checks, and the very  sight of such a bright, fresh, pretty face was  enough to make one cheerful that dismal day. She met but few acquaintances, but they unconsciously brightened up as they returned her cordial smile and bow. Before she got to Mr. Malone’s, she found a little, poor-looking boy, who had lost his way, and was crying bitterly.

“Here‘s a chance to make somebody happy,” thought our young lady. She questioned him kindly, and found out where he lived, and restored him to his mother, who fortunately lived on the way to Mr. Malone's. The poor woman's  name was Mrs. Hoyt. She thanked Anne over  and over, and urged her to come in. So Anne went into the little room. Everything was neat, but showed that they were very poor indeed, Mrs. Hoyt, in talking with Anne, disclosed to  her almost all her trials.

Her husband had died, and loft her with four little children to take care of. She took in  washing for a living, but lately she could get  no work, and she had become entirely disheartened. Anne’s kind heart was touched when the poor woman put her apron up to her face and cried; she tried to comfort her as well as she could.

“I’m so sorry for you,” said she, “I don’t wonder you feel discouraged. I wish I could  do something for you. Send your little boy to our house in the morning, and I’ll give him a  basketful of things to carry home.”

Then she remembered that one of their neighbors wanted a washer-woman. She told Mrs. Hoyt so, and that she had no doubt but that she could get work there, and then the lady would recommend her to her friends. And so followed  by thanks, she went away, but she had no idea  how much good she had given.

The look of trouble left the widow’s face at  the thought of having employment; Anne’s ready  sympathy had taken away the heavy feeling at  her heart, that nobody would care whether she   lived or died; the very sight of her sunny face,  and bright, pretty dress had pleased the children, who talked of her for days after. Poor Mrs. Hoyt! she actually had almost a smile on her face that night, as she sat up to mend a little, ragged jacket, remembering how Miss Daland had praised the children for looking so neat.

Old Mr. Malone, who was a paralytic, was

Of death pound as they will. Once, for an hour,

With wine that not a hundred, if a score,

Have tasted that are told in history.

Having it unconfirmed, I might be mad

Today if a wise God had not been kind,

And given me zeal to serve Him with a means

That you deplore and pardonably distrust.

The dower of ignorance is to distrust

All that it cannot feel, and to be rich

In that which it has not. I can be rich

In all that I have had, and richer still

In this that I have now. Glory to God!

For no more messengers—or for none save one,

 ing, more and more, a solidarity of sentiment which has manifested itself for two decades in defensive effort to resist foreign influence and which is now manifesting itself in thought and action directed toward the destruction of the privileged position which has been accorded to or acquired by foreign nations and foreign nationals in China.

The Chinese "Nationalists" are taking advantage of every evidence and opportunity to proclaim aloud to their own people and to the world that China has been and is being oppressed by the foreign Powers; that China is bound down by "unequal treaties"; that Chinese laws, customs, and manners are being corrupted by foreigners; and that foreign domination must be shaken off. The present antipathy of the Chinese people appears to be not against foreigners as individuals or as alien persons but against the forces, the system, the theories and practices of government of the foreign nations as manifested in relationships with China.

The Occident went to the Orient uninvited and unwanted. Navigators, merchants, missionaries and soldiers from the Occident forced themselves upon an unwilling Siam, an unwilling Japan and an unwilling China. Of these countries, China, with her huge area, her enormous population, her laissez-faire practices and principles of government, has not yet made the readjustment for which the new contacts call. The Chinese have never been accustomed to precision, exact definitions, legal prescriptions and contracts written out and agreed upon in

 minute detail. In the dispensation of justice much of their law is to be found in the minds of the magistrates. In the making of contracts much is left to the attitudes and needs of the parties when performance becomes due. The Occidental found China's laws, conceptions of justice, methods of administration different from those of the West. He found Chinese customs, conceptions of propriety, methods of doing business different from his. He found Chinese religions, conceptions of human obligations and methods of performance different from his. Where Chinese ideas and practices have differed from those of the Occident, the man from the West has insisted, in nine cases out of ten, that the Chinese idea is wrong and the Western right.

A century and a half ago, the Chinese knew nothing about foreign governments, constitutions, republics, representative government, separation of powers, etc. They knew nothing of international law. They had no treaties (except certain old agreements with Russia). The West insisted that they learn these things, taught them, and forced them to sign treaties. The Powers insisted that China adopt and maintain a fixed schedule of customs duties; they insisted that the Chinese admit Christian missionaries, allow them to preach and teach without obstacle and permit them to buy and own land wherever they might please for the prosecution of their enterprises. They insisted that, inasmuch as Chinese laws were different, those laws should not apply to "foreigners." Nevertheless,

of strong faith that can believe that God will give his Gospell to every of these in particular, that they might come to the saving knowledge of the truth.

The distinction of antecedent and consequent will, hath no place in this matter, because such are to be understood as have most egregiously abused the common grace of God received. Moreover, we shall never find in Scripture, that the faithfull ever made such prayers: but as God hath signified his will and pleasure concerning the calling and gathering of his people, Jews or Gentiles, so they have prayed, as we may pray for the fulnesse of the Gentiles, and calling of the Jews, wherein we doe not exclude any, though we know God hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, and gives the grace of repentance, and to repent also, to whom he please, the habituall grace serving for the one, and the actuall and effectuall motion of Gods Spirit being requisite to the other.

But if all this be granted, nothing will follow which is not freely granted. For as on the one side no man will affirm that Christ died to this end, namely to procure forgivenesse of sinne and Salvation to all and every one, whether they beleeve or no; so on the other side, none will deny, but that he died to this end, that salvation and remission of sinnes should redound to all and every one, in case they should beleeve and repent. For this depends upon the sufficiencie of that price, which Christ paid to God his Father for the redemption of the world. No man denieth, but God made a Covenant with Adam fallen and his posterity, as now with the faithfull and their seed: that all mankind had continued in this Covenant, if they had not discovenanted themselves and their posterity; that no man is deprived of the benefits of Christs death, but through his own sinne and corruption: that God is not the cause efficient or deficient of any mans infidelity, but man himself: That men are seriously invited to repent in the Ministery of the Word, and that the promise of Salvation is faithfull and true, so that he that

 they have sought constantly to bring it about that Chinese laws be altered upon the model of the Occidental legal systems.

Foreign influence and foreign pressure contributed to bringing on the revolution of 1911. Revolutions the Chinese had had before, plenty of them, but never one which at the same time overthrew a dynasty, declared against the principle of monarchy, and undertook to establish a government based on principles of election, representation and responsibility.

When the governments of the foreign Powers dictated the provisions of the treaties which they compelled the Manchu rulers of China to sign, they wrote into these treaties some provisions calling for performance which neither the Manchus nor any other Chinese government could enforce. Now, the Manchus and the Mandarinate who signed those contracts have disappeared. Today the Chinese people are convinced, rightly or wrongly, that the rules and treaty provisions which the foreign governments cite as rightfully applicable to the contacts between China and the foreign Powers are inequitable and intolerably disadvantageous to one of the parties concerned, namely the Chinese. Moreover, they contend that neither the Chinese people nor the officials who represented them ever agreed to some of the provisions in the sense of the interpretations which foreigners have chosen to put upon them.

 Rh beleeveth shall never perish. These things be not questioned, nor whether some effects or benefits of Christs death be common to all men, but whether he died equally for all men, to purchase actuall reconciliation for them on Gods part, and set all Infants in the actuall state of salvation, but to procure faith and beliefe for no man, so that he had obtained the full, immediate end of his death, though no man had ever beleeved on him, or been saved by him. But that which is assumed in this argument is apparently false, as it is applyed. The Covenant of grace is revealed to some, no man being shut forth by name, but if he repent and beleeve he shall be saved: but many thousands never heard of, never had probable meanes to come to the knowledge of the Covenant. The commandement to preach the Gospell to every creature, was given to the Apostles in the dayes of grace, upon the publication of which Covenant, they which formerly served dumbe idols, were bound to repent and beleeve: but that commandement was peculiar to the Apostles, not given till after the resurrection of Christ, after such commandement the Apostles were injoyned to tarry for a time in Jerusalem, nor could they possibly disperse themselves in a moment into every part of the world, nor the world take notice of any such commandement given unto them, or of the doctrine revealed by them. Before that time the Lord suffered the Gentiles for a long time to walk in the vanity of their minds, without the light of his truth: and since that time divers nations have been cast off, left to themselves, as aliens from the Covenant, and deprived of all meanes to come to the knowledge of God in Christ. And if there were any force in this reason, The meanes of grace be unlimited, and command given to preach to every creature, therefore Christ died for all men: This must be of greater weight, The meanes of grace be not vouchsafed unto all and every man: therefore Christ died not for all and every man. For if meanes necessary to Salvation be not propounded, if they be not, nor ever were called to the faith by the ordinary and only effectuall meanes ordained of God to bring men thereunto, we speake of our selves, and not according to Scripture, if we affirme, God gave Christ to die for their redemption.

Amongst many effects of Christs death reckoned up in this argument, this is the most generall, and all the rest depend upon it: and if the meanes be not vouchsafed to all, none of the rest can be

 234 common to every one. It is a received principle amongst them, that as God loved the world, and Christ gave himselfe a ransome for all men, or is the propitiation for the sins of the whole world, so God willed that the Gospell concerning Christ should be published to all men in the world. ''Corvin. in Mol. cap''. 31. sect. 33. If then the Gospell be not published, or God willed not that the Gospell should be published to all and every man in the world, Christ died not for all and every man. Adam and Noah having received the Covenant, were bound to teach their children, and so successively in all ages: Psal. 78. which had it been observed, none had failed to have the same published unto him. If this be applied to the present purpose, they must teach only, that Christ died for all and every man, if they that be in Covenant, shall carefully observe the charge and commandement of God. And by the same reason they may conclude, that God gave his Sonne to die, and that with plenary purpose, that no man should ever sinne by ignorance, infirmity, impenitency, unbeliefe, or any particular transgression: that God purposed to give to every man the plentifull and effectuall meanes of grace, and that every man should actually apply the death of Christ. For if every man successively had obeyed the commandement given to Adam, and fulfilled that charge, the doctrine of salvation had been published to every man, every man had been borne and lived in Covenant, every man had actually applyed the death of Christ unto himselfe, every man had enjoyed all the Ordinances of God: yea, there had been no impenitent person, I might adde, properly no sinner but Adam and Eve. Then they could not say, Christ came to save the world, under which infidels must be comprehended, or that he prayed for his persecutours and unbeleevers, nor that he came to save his people from their sinnes: for if this charge had been obeyed, there had been no Infidell, nor persecutour, nor sinner amongst his people, but only our first Parents. And by the same evasion, they may hold that Christ died for all and every man, when he died for no man living, or that ever lived, but Adam only. But this is nothing to prove, that since many Nations have neglected their charge, and being fallen from God have received from him a Bill of divorce, a commandement hath been given notwithstanding unto his servants in all ages, to publish the doctrine of salvation unto every creature amongst all Nations.

 Rh Adam and Noah were in Covenant, is there the same reason of them and their posterity continuing in the faith, that there is of them that be strangers to the Covenant, shut up in darknesse, and never heard the sound of the Gospell for many generations together?

It seemeth sufficient to Princes (say they) to publish their Lawes in some places, at some times, though they concerne all, are for their good, and take hold of them, if they be not observed, leaving it to Parents to teach their children, and every one to enquire for his own good.

In this comparison there be divers things unlike, divers that cannot befitted to the purpose, unlesse it be in a sense contrary. For they say, Lawes once sufficiently published bind and stand in force, though unknowne, or scarcely possible to be known by some particular men now living in some remote parts of the dominions: And the plaine direct reddition is, That God having made a Covenant of grace with Adam and his posterity, all and every man is bound to beleeve in Christ, and walke in obedience, though he be ignorant of his duty, never received ability to do it, never had meanes possible to come to the knowledge of Christ: yea, though he be cast off, and left to the hardnesse of his heart. God hath commanded Parents to teach their children. Who doubts of that? But the question is, whether God hath vouchsafed sufficient means of grace to every man, which is not hereby proved, because God, when he gave his Covenant, injoyned Parents to teach their children. We grant the Lord is wanting in nothing, which either he promised, or in his eternall wisdome and justice saw meet to be done, and that such as be deprived of the means of grace be justly deprived. But we say, as experience confirmeth, that sufficient meanes of grace hath not been afforded to every man living since the fall of Adam.

In the comparison there be many things unlike. For commonwealth are one body politick, in which it is held sufficient to publish Lawes in some knowne places, and at some times, granting space and meanes that all may learne them if they will. But we speake of such as never were so much as in the outward society of the Church, nor adjoyning to them; that never heard of the Covenant of grace, they, nor many of their Ancestours, nor of a people or society professing the true Religion. So that
