    t  t moment is absorbing all ttention of t tself must make serious turn ttention to t problem of civilisation. All civilisation begins by t of Nature, i.e. by subduing and controlling terrific pure so t to men. tion of Europe to-day  of Nature  must be admitted, o not attained by any otion. But terrible even terrific pure and t is t of man. ture can do to mankind, is notil terrible force,_ted and controlled, t is evident, not only no civilisation, but even no life possible for human beings.

    In t early and rude stage of society, mankind o use

    _ Arent  doing t t befool them;

    See, now, less! and look now less and wild all sons of Adam are whem;

    Be but  and true, and them all.

    po subdue and subjugate o be subjugated by s as civilisation advances, mankind discovers a force more potent and more effective for subduing and controlling  ive in subduing and controlling tion of Europe, is Cianity. But no preceding it, seems to s Cianity ive as a moral force. it an effective moral force to control and restrain o employ po keep civil order. As Car-lyle truly says, quot; Europe is Anarcable. quot; to maintain civil order leads to militarism. In fact militarism is necessary in Europe to-day because of t of an effective moral force. But militarism leads to ruction and e. tarism, anarcroy tion, but if tarism, tion e and destruction of  Englis termined to put doarism and Lord Kitc o stamp out Prussian militarism  t seems to me amped out, tarism, _tisarism amped out. to be no  of this vicious circle.

    But is t;I can easily see tcy of t  ain, as God livet does need anotice alone can effect a clean revolution.quot; No to put doarism, t and t is, to use  does not need anotice, _in fact, moral force, itive moral force, militarism self. But no Cianity ive as a moral force to find tive moral force warism unnecessary?

    I believe tion. tion izens people o me, quot;t; It is true t, since time of Confucius ,years ago, o-day. In C,  live in constant expectation of  tolerable in tate of Europe, it seems to me, is not so muc t every body is constantly afraid t s strong enougo be able to do it, o rob and murder o arm o protect   tant necessity to arm te nec-cessity to use po protect themselves.
