52 RIGHT REV. BISHOP E. GRAHAM INGHAM, D.D., ON 



righteous Power can stoop to or will be upheld under deceit — 

 unhappily now the organon, if not the soul (when truly analyzed), 

 of polemics and employed systematically, alas ! in criminology 

 and law and in all professions, under euphemisms, as on one side 

 so on the other too. The enemy of Man beguiles the world by false 

 names. 



" Empire should be felt, as Cowper saith, by its Mercy — I 

 would add, by example. Then it may extend to the common good 

 and bless Earth — having itself God's Blessing. Else, it is better 

 overthrown, and will be. For it will be then a despotism on God's

Lieut.-Colonel Arthuji Ford-Moore writes : " I should wish to 

 be allowed to join in the cordial expressions of thanks to Bishop

 Most were sobbing bitterly, and many exclaimed, ' Our hope goes 

 with them.' The most cordial relations had been established and 

 the officer then in command receives frequent letters from the 

 inhabitants even now. The same can be said of all the other areas, 

 whether occupied by Syrians (of either of the main MusHm sects), 

 of the Egyptians — even immediately after the rioting — Arabs or 

 Jews. The religious sect made no difference. I could give very 

 full descriptions from first-hand evidence in all cases. The views 

 expressed to the contrary by one speaker cannot be too strongly 

 deprecated as an unwarrantable aspersion on his countrymen's 

 good name. The natives do not compare the British Administrators 

 with beasts, even though they may be just beasts, as he stated, 

 " Other remarks did not seem very relevant to the subject of the
