THOUGHTS FOR THE TIMES
Westward Ho! Is it merely a coincidence that practically all tlie great movements, cultural ami racial, of which we have positive knowledge have heen towards the west ? 01' course there is the theory that civilisation had its cradle in some river valley in the ancient world, in the Nile basin, perhaps, or Mesopotamia, and sent out offshoots thence in all directions, to Malaya, to the South Seas, even to Ameiica. view rests upon inference and eonjecTure. As far as recorded history testifies the prevalent, the permanent, the effective drive has been westward. —Xvdnev '‘Herald".
