The American Republic Following Rome
Who can not see that in lavish display of riches, in luxury and extravagance, in the worse than worthless lives of many of the rich and would-be-rich, in the dissoluteness and licentiousness of many of her men and youth, in the venal corruption in and out of office from the nation to the town, in class troubles and slavery, in the purchase of elective franchises, in a thousand other ways, the great American republic is going the way of the Roman republic? There are a hundred and one remedies proposed to stay her course. They may retard, but they will not cure. True reform must reach the individual heart thru the power of Christ's Gospel received by faith. There is no other way.
