530 LIFE. are fighting with one another with the aim of shifting the patrimonial boundaries and the imaginary frontiers of their nations, while the soil which nourishes them continues to be reddened by the blood of insensate wretches who wage war either for a paltry strip of territory or for some question of so-called honor, or incited by a mere lust for conflict like the barbarians of ancient times, so long will be deferred that paradise on earth which the mind's eye of the seeker already seems to contemplate in the distant future. The features of the globe will never assume their perfect harmony until men are united in one league of justice and of peace. ISke she can become truly beauteous, our " beneficent mother " must wait until her sons have all embraced as brothers, and have succeeded in establishing the grand confederation of free nations.
