r their promulgator much
misrepresentation as must ever be the lot of those who will not follow
the beaten track of a fallacious custom. But Time that brings all things
has brought also to the mind of England some suspicion that the idols
they have so long worshipped and the oracles that have so long deluded
them are not the true ones. There is a whisper rising in this country
that Loyalty is not a phrase. Faith not a delusion, and Popular Liberty
something more diffusive and substantial than the profane exercise of
the sacred rights of sovereignty by political classes.
That we may live to see England once more possess a free Monarchy and
a privileged and prosperous People, is my prayer; that these great
consequences can only be brought about by the enemy and devotion of our
Youth is my persuasion. We live in an age when to be young and to be
indifferent can be no longer synonymous. We must prepare for the coming
hour. The claims of the Future are represented by suffering millions;
and the Youth of a Nation are the trustees of Posterity.
