It shifts to an imaginary and ideal world alt the perplexities and wrongs of the present. world. That kind of teaching ingrained in generations accounts for the dull pati- ence, the stolid, brutelike content of the peasant in Europe; he is born a bear- er of burdens. a tiller of the soil, to walk bent and never lookup; it is all enduruble because it Is all so short; be some day will be better off then kings and einperors are DOW.
