GREAT IDEALS.
“ The great ideals of the old world, indissolubly linked with the primitive record of Christianity, arc preserved for us in letters of gold, in language that escapes all change; they stand behind and beyond our local habits, and our local forms of creed. To them all the peoples of the civilised world look hack; and by them the nations of the future may he inspired and brought nearer to each other. Let us not think lightly, then, of the old high road which the course of European education still leaves open before every new age. Let us see to it that our successors may have the privilege that has been given to us, of hearing the groat voices of that older time speak in their own accents across the silent years, of being quickened by them to know the gold from the dross', of learning from them what is simple, what is high, what.is human, what is true. 11 ‘Captains and conquerors leave a little dust, And kings a dubious legend of their reign; i'he swords of Caesar, they are less than rust: The poet dotli remain.’ ” —Professor Conway.
