Excerpt from The Holcad, Vol. 27: September, 1906Anglo Saxon victories are the endur ing triumphs of peace. True war has been used, but rarely from lust of conquest, often in behalf of downtrodden humanity.The real victories are not the conquests of arms, but the elevation of helpless human ity.In an age of revolution, steady, ceaseless growth was the Saxon watch word. Superficial means were never relied upon. Did a race or territory fall under Saxon dominion, the most virile manhood of the nation was sent to Anglicize it. The language, customs and religion of the Con quered were replaced by those of the Conqueror. The teacher, the missionary and the Saxon home, invariably follow the ¿ag if they have not preceded it. Rome, the aggressor, the world conqueror, sent out armies, to accomplish her colonization, to replenish her treasury, and to increase Roman glory. Rome met her deserved fate. The Saxon goes out to Anglicize and elevate his possessions. Churches are built while they must be garrisoned at every service. Anglo Saxon homes dot the land and become the centers of moral pur ity and religious power. Australia, Amer ica and the islands of the sea testify to the divine approval for such an altruistic course. May it continue so while there yet remains a'ny territory to be Anglicized.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
