The natural elements startle us at times, but when the lightnings, storms and floods subside, the air is pure and the sky is clear. It seems that these forces must visit the earth, even if attended with suffering, loss and death; and so it seems that the spirit of social and political agitation must visit a progressive people in the course of their development, even if attended with cruel and destructive warfare. Dictators, rulers and priests, whether in business, politics or religion, may flourish for a time in their vain conceits, and spread extravagant notions in the several affairs of life, and thereby they may obstruct the course of social elevation for a time, just as rocks and cascades impede the flowing waters of winding streams ; but they shall pass away like a cloud in the infinite sky, and their influence shall be absorbed by the multitude just as rivulets from the mountains are at last swallowed by the sea.
By speculation and imaginary values, some men may be enabled to reach out hundreds, even thousands, of miles, and affect the labors, the morals, the hopes and the fears of the people ; they may build costly temples for various purposes and win temporary ap- plause ; they may scatter large gifts here and there with seeming generous hands and awaken great admi-

ration ; and they may disturb the social equilibrium by forcing an unnatural and unjust distribution of wealth and power. But they cannot alter the course of free government. It was started centuries ago in the con- victions of the people through suffering and blood- shed ; and nurtured by succeeding generations until now, particularly through increasing liberality for gen- eral education, it has become an indisputable, inalien- able and imperishable possession.
The will of the people is expressed in their constant desire for liberty, justice and equality. These princi- ples may again seem weak and presumptuous in the face of concentrating wealth and power. So were they apparently in 1776, but they nevertheless pre- vailed againist a government that was distinguished for its worldly greatness and success. By the course of progress in human affairs, we need not doubt their ultimate triumph, for they are not weak and changing creations from the conception of man, but eternal vir- tues from the power of God.
