Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Christopher Columbus: A Paper Read Before the Literary Society of the City of Washington, D. C., April 18, A. D. 1892 Separated from each other by intervals of about fifteen centuries each, three great events stand out prominent beyond all others in human history. About fifteen centuries after the first appearance of civilization on the Plains of Shinar, the great movement occurred which is known to us as the Exodus of Israel from Egypt, the first protest of monotheistic truth and republican principle against the corruptions of polytheism and the licentiousness of arbitrary monarchy, and which eventuated in the establishment of a government of law in opposition to the governments of the sword which then dominated the world. About fifteen centuries later, the Divine Teacher of Nazareth preached the new Dispensation of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and soon by his preaching revolutionized the world. Again, fifteen centuries later still, when Christian truth and Christian faith had almost grown faint in their long contest of a thousand years with the superstitions of Odinism and the fanaticism of the false prophet of Arabia, when Gothic feudalism and Mohammedan intolerance had almost crushed out human freedom from the earth, the hopes of the human race were quickened into a new life by the discovery of a New World. These three great events wonderfully supplement each other in the Divine co-ordination of human history, and in the development of human civilization.
