From 1831 to 1837 revolt was in the air, and in 1835 came the great revolt of the Mohammedans, who attempted to enthrone a queen. The Negroes fought with furious bravery, but were finally defeated. By 1872 the number of free Negroes had very greatly increased, so that emancipation did not come as a shock.
"What is the cure?" asked Bradley, whose mind had been busy with the problem. "God Almighty! there is no cure, except the abolition of government. Government means that kind of thing. Look at it! Here we enthrone the hungry, vicious, uneducated mob of incapables, and then wonder why they steal, and gorge and riot like satyrs. The wonder is they don't scrape the paint off the walls."
Have you not frequently noticed that they who day by day cheerfully endure most unpleasant things, while helping their neighbours at the expense of their own time and goods, are often rendered lyrical by receiving a sovereign from some one who would never miss it, and are ready to enthrone him in their hearts as a king of men? The truest virtue, sir, must be sought among the lowly.
And we do not lose our lives in the lofty, noble sense, until we can say and verify the speech by our actions 'Not my will but Thine be done. They who thus submit, they who thus welcome into their hearts, and enthrone upon the sovereign seat in their wills, Christ and His will these are they who have lost their lives.
On the last three days of July, '30, the people of Paris drove out one Bourbon to enthrone another. True, 'The State is myself, was not the despotic motto he assumed, as did one of his successors, but it was 'Me and my family, which has proved equally selfish, if not so absolute, and far more dangerous to freedom.
Have these experiences made you ready for any service? Have they made your will flexible made you dethrone yourself, and enthrone the King whom the prophet saw? If they have, they are genuine; if they have not, they are not.
Do you understand? Meanwhile, study this problem in psychology: how long will John Everard be able to endure life after I tell the Irish how he helped to enthrone their bitterest enemy?" He did not wait for an answer, but left the baffled man to wrestle with the situation, which must have worsted him, for his hand did not appear in the game at Washington.
It has taken Man ages to assert himself, nor has he yet, as it would seem, done more than enthrone a new idol in the place of the old. But for the old, behold the last traces of its authority in these fetters, of which the first smith will rid me. Expect no thunderbolt, dear maiden; none will come: nor shall I regain the immortality of which I feel myself bereaved since yesterday."
All these changes no man can bring about for himself they are accomplished for him by the Holy Spirit; but this he can and must do for himself, invite Sweet Jesus into his heart and enthrone Him there as Ruler.
The good sense of the House of Commons is a conspiracy to resist genius and to enthrone the average man. A department of the State is well governed only when its chief Civil Servant, by the grace of God, chances to be a man of statesmanlike capacity. Like Lord Rhondda, Lord Leverhulme was approached by the Government during the numerous crises of the war to render service to the State.
