that. They know that the chivalric
instincts must fall into disuse, that
the gallant barbarisms of the
North will end by destroying civili-
zation unless they are curbed. Men
must return to the ideals which
Jesus derived from the prophets
and teachers of his people. The
world must be Christianized. The
