America and the Philosophy of the Dark Ages

“HISTORY is to a nation what experience is to an individual, and just as a wise man will guide himself by “the lamp of experience,” so will a patriotic people run not after strange gods, but will direct their course under the guidance of the philosophy of their own past.” —Oscar S. Straus, present U. S. Minister to Turkey, in “Religious Liberty in the United States.” But, unfortunately, it is not the philosophy of the past of THIS country that is now guiding it, but in its religio-political phase the philosophy of the Dark Ages.
