Perhaps and this is the happiest supposition we have learnt our lesson by contemplating the effects of a doglike submission to Authority in corrupting the morals and wrecking the civilization of a powerful and once friendly people. But, theorize as we may about the cause, the effect is unmistakable, and, at least on the surface, satisfactory.
Our business is not to think correctly, but to live truly; then first will there be a possibility of our thinking correctly. One chief cause of the amount of unbelief in the world is, that those who have seen something of the glory of Christ, set themselves to theorize concerning him rather than to obey him. In teaching men, they have not taught them Christ, but taught them about Christ.
Whether or not, in point of fact, the Nation was older than the States, and the constitution not a compact, but an indissoluble Union, will always remain a question to be discussed. The dispute turns upon a point that does not admit of final determination. We can only theorize.
Janet would not have thought it possible for any one to change so much in such a time. Cynthia listened, and wondered what language Miss Duncan would use if she knew how great and how complete that change had been. Romances, Cynthia thought sadly, were one thing to theorize about and quite another thing to endure and smiled at the thought.
Men might theorize and theorize until the crack of doom, but this was the way the thing had to be done and this was the way he preferred to do it. Eugene had never heard of any of these facts in connection with the Summerfield Company. The idea had been flung at him so quickly he had no time to think, and besides if he had had time it would have made no difference.
I can theorize, you see, but the practice is beyond me. 'But why don't you try it? cried Pauline, her eyes sparkling. 'It is a splendid idea. 'Bless you, my child, because it would involve work, and that is a thing I abhor. 'But Gwendolyn must work on all these societies, said Pauline. Belle danced across the room, and seated herself on the arm of her chair. 'You dear old thing!
"Oh, he could n't, eh?" observed I, thoughtfully, leading the way to the landing. But I could not permit myself to theorize at this stage an indulgence which, when premature, inevitably colors one's opinions, and prejudices all attempts at clear, logical reasoning. But I was not yet permitted to begin my examination of the body and its immediate surroundings.
The English in India put an end to suttee, in spite of a fixed principle of non-interference with native religious customs. Perhaps they were wrong to prevent suttee, yet almost every European would have done the same. We cannot effectively doubt that such practices ought to be stopped, however we may theorize in favor of religious liberty.
They sometimes wonder how certain famous constitutional lawyers could make a living without the American Constitution to interpret and argue before the Supreme Court, but Americans and Canadians are to-day working out from different angles a great world experiment in self-government. It remains to be seen which experiment will stand the stress of world-convulsing changes. We need not theorize.
Theorize as we may, there was certainly in our camp an average tone of propriety which all visitors noticed, and which was not created, but only preserved by discipline. I was always struck, not merely by the courtesy of the men, but also by a certain sober decency of language.
