THE COMMONWEALTH. ” A Common wealth is the Sermon on the Mount reduced to political terms, a society organised on the theory that the duty which each of its members owes to the rest is beyond measure. The sovereignty of the commonwealth is the necessary outcome of that principle, whether the commonwealth be city or nation. The conflict of sovereignties will never be solved until all men are organised in one society, as Tesus of Nazareth taught. By helping that commonwealth to come the will of Clod can be done, and thus only. In the river of time the British Commonwealth stands, a line of unfinished piers, yet to he crowned with arches whereby mankind shall cross to * that far-off divine event, to which the whole : creation moves ’ —and leave the bridge behind tliem.”—“ The Round Table.”
