Exeter Advocate, 1908-11-05, Page 6At tho beginning of the last con- tury the population of 'turkey in Europe was mainly trade up of several ra•_es speaking different tongues, but all professing the Christian faith. These were subject races, tribute payors governed de- spotically by a Turkish minority, a ruling military class. Gradually a deternci,,ati,n to achieve independ- epc•e and enjoy national life began to manifest itself. First the Greeks ui the mainland threw off the yoke. Later on the land of the Roumani- ans became a protectorate, a prin- cipality, and finally a kingdom. These among the Serbs who were Fettled in Servia gained their free- dom. The Bulgarians secured au- tonomy and have now cut the nom- inal tie that bound them to Turkey. The tendency toward racial union has not been weakened by the crea- tion of tho Balkan states. Modern democracy, _which impels hien of the same race and tongue to seek free institutions, also impels then to unite under one government. The Poles, whose country was divided among three powerful nations, would reunite themselves if they could. During tho last thirty years the Czech national feeling has bo- cc•no intense. A Czech literature has come into existence. The Czech language has supplanted the Ger- man in the courts and in the uni- versity. There is no inclination is Bohemia to break away from Au - ria violently, but if a peaceful op- portunity were to present itself the f.coplo would establish an indepen- t'.ent Czech government. It would he strange indeed if the Serbs of Bosnia and Macedonia did riot yearn for union with their fel- low Serbs of Sonia and if that feel- ing were not heartily reciprocated by tho latter. The power of racial attraction, intensified by a common language and creed, is manifested in the case of Crete. It is as well governed under the protectorate as it would be as a part. of the king- dom of Greece, but that counts for nothing with Cretans. (Cyprus is another island a majority of whose inhabitants are Greek Christians. It has been governed for Turkey by Great Britain for many years and has been well governed. If the in- habitants were to demand union with Greece the British government hardly could interpose a veto. Tho Ionian islands were under the Brit- ish flag once, but the British gov- ernment, yielding to the manifest desire of their people, let there be- come a part of Greece. It seems probable now that there will be a conference of the powers to consider not merely the action of Bulgaria and of Austria-Hungary regarding Bosnia and Herzegovina, but other phases of the eastern question. If so, the powers should not disregard utterly the aspira- tions of several races for 'mien and independence. Thet would be a de- licate subject to discuss with Aus- tria-Hungary, which is trade up of wore or less discordant rices. But it would he wiser to rc.•.,gnize the dynamic power wlucli lis•.. in the tonging of Wren who spent. the Same tongue to live under the same flag and that their own. 'treaties may ignore nr hewn en that longing. if Stn, in time those treaties will be 'battered by the resistless force of ,racial aspirations. S11OI•.1; 1 11)111s IN SFIIt)1)1..

Following the events narrated in our lesson passage, Joab, on learning of David's bitter lament over the death of his son, is promp- ted by his soldier's indignation to rebuke his sovereign for his appar- ent disregard for the best interests of his kingdom. Returning to Je- rusalem, David succeeds in estab- lishing his kingdom more firmly than ever, so that at the time of Solomon's succession to the throne (compare Lesson for November 22) the strength and glory of the unit- ed kingdom is almost at its niaxi- tnum.
