...chronometers by which the immortals regulate the movements of the spheres have been changed. The hour of arising has been hastened two hours, and the note of the seven o'clock bell, reviled and abhorred since forgotten time, mingles with the song of the alarm clock in a metallic discord of summons. Seven hundred men have learned that the morning and the evening are the day; and the morning has grown, like the tale of a submarine's exploits, to twice the normal size, while the evening is evanescent.

Hurried visits to all members possessing the franchise with strict injunction to attend the meeting and vote for the "right candidate," resulted more often than not in an election well calculated, sooner or later, to foster the elements of discord.

Man has an affinity to two things, to God and to the brute. It is this discord between two natures which we must strive to resolve into a perfect unity with God himself. We must give up the things of this earth and all self-seeking purposes, if we are to attain this unity. As Jesus has said, "He that loseth his life shall find...
