Earthly thrones tremble on their bases in these days of rebellion against despotism. It would seem as if the kingdoms of the world were all being weighed in balances to determine what boasted strength is real and what pretended. No ruler is sure of his foothold in any land. England, whose vaunted power the world has acknowledged, while yet in disheartening conflicts with her undesirable Eastern subjects, hears the war threats of Russia's restless government. Ireland greets her Prince with howling mobs. All these rumblings of discord, to the watchers on Mount Zion, come fraught with assurance of the onward march, of Righteousness. Whether the people recognize the presence or not it is here, making for their freedom. And not the dominion of acknowledged kings and princes alone is threatened—but the dominion of man over man in any form must give way to the liberty, fraternity and equality, toward which the unseen Law, spiritual and eternal, forces humanity.
