- W108610090 abstract "A GAIN we confront a time, periodical in world history, when all L' things become fluid, impermanent, insecure, so presaging the <L JL end of one era, the beginning of another, obedient to that mysterious law whereby, like the division of days or the life of man, an era comes to birth, grows to maturity, crests in fulfillment of its natal promise, declines in slackening vigor, and finally comes to an end. This seems to have been the undeviating course of history from the Old Kingdom of Egypt, Crete, and Mesopotamia, through Greece, Rome, Byzantium, the Middle Ages, the Renaissance, down to our modern age. By some equally inexplicable law, these days, so to speak, of social vitality, run to about five centuries in length, though each national or social unit is granted a varying number from the eight or nine of Egypt to the two or three of such as Greece or France or Spain. We ourselves, here in America, are finishing our first. Shall we go on to another and yet another, or shall we join with those ephemeral states whose whole history lasts but five hundred years? Against my natural inclinations and, I fear, notorious custom I must try to stick to my text. Therefore I shall not elaborate on those evidences that we indeed are involved, with the rest of the world, in a phase of decline and change that, in obedience to law, must be accomplished before the end of the century, since the era of modernism began with the Renaissance, the Protestant Revolution and the democratic upheaval the three component parts of the elan vital that brought the Middle Ages to an end and initiated the new world and that therefore must accomplish itself within its allotted time which already has extended to a space of nearly four hundred and fifty years. Perhaps it is not necessary. The decade that has passed since the end of the Great War has been prolific of revelation, and the last three years have enforced the evidences and made all so clear that it is hard to see how anyone can be blind to the implications of the ominous events that have crowded so close the general questioning" @default.
