Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Debt of Power: Baccalaureate Sermon to the Class of 1892
This issue has made a good deal of history; for history is largely occupied with the fight over the individual's assertion that men were made for his use and pleasure. It is at the bottom of the great strug gle of the democratic idea for recognition, of many a popular revolution, of many a summary dethrone ment. It is the wind which has driven many a social wave, gathering and mounting, r before it over leagues of dreary waste, to break at last resistlessly upon the so-called divine right of kings.
